Search GIF providers with CLI/TUI, download results, and extract stills/sheets.
gifgrep Use gifgrep to search GIF providers (Tenor/Giphy), browse in a TUI, download results, and extract stills or sheets. GIF-Grab (gifgrep workflow) Search → preview → download → extract (still/sheet) for fast review and sharing. Quick start gifgrep cats --max 5 gifgrep cats --format url | head -n 5 gifgrep search --json cats | jq '.[0].url' gifgrep tui "office handshake" gifgrep cats --download --max 1 --format url TUI + previews TUI: gifgrep tui "query" CLI still previews: --thumbs (Kitty/Ghostty only; still frame) Download + reveal --download saves to ~/Downloads --reveal shows the last download in Finder Stills + sheets gifgrep still ./clip.gif --at 1.5s -o still.png gifgrep sheet ./clip.gif --frames 9 --cols 3 -o sheet.png Sheets = single PNG grid of sampled frames (great for quick review, docs, PRs, chat). Tune: --frames (count), --cols (grid width), --padding (spacing). Providers --source auto|tenor|giphy GIPHY_API_KEY required for --source giphy TENOR_API_KEY optional (Tenor demo key used if unset) Output --json prints an array of results (id, title, url, preview_url, tags, width, height) --format for pipe-friendly fields (e.g., url) GIF asset hygiene Before recommending or using an animated GIF URL, verify it resolves successfully, has Content-Type: image/gif, and is actually animated (multiple frames or loop metadata; e.g. inspect with file, identify, or a small script). Record attribution/license/source URL alongside the asset. Do not hotlink when a local asset is needed: download/copy it into the project and reference the local file. Environment tweaks GIFGREP_SOFTWARE_ANIM=1 to force software animation GIFGREP_CELL_ASPECT=0.5 to tweak preview geometry
