A command-line tool for searching GIF services such as Tenor and Giphy, previewing results, downloading GIFs, and turning them into still images or frame sheets.

Finding reaction GIFs, browsing search results, downloading files, extracting a frame at a chosen time, and creating a grid of sampled frames.

It brings GIF discovery and quick visual review into the terminal. Frame sheets make it easier to inspect an animation or include it in documentation, pull requests, or chats.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00021	$0.00572
Opus 5	$0.00010	$0.00286
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00114
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00057

Measured 9d ago against content hash 39a6bc12f3ec, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-12, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

gifgrep scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

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)

Environment tweaks

GIFGREP_SOFTWARE_ANIM=1 to force software animation
GIFGREP_CELL_ASPECT=0.5 to tweak preview geometry

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
