gifgrep

# 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
