What problem does it solve?
Finding the right GIF and turning it into reusable visuals is slow when you have to manually search, open results, download files, and then capture frames yourself.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Search + Provider targeting: Query GIF providers like Tenor and Giphy, including auto source selection.
- TUI browsing with previews: Use a text UI to quickly preview and choose results.
- Download and extract: Download matching GIFs and generate still images or sheet grids for sharing and documentation.
- Output for automation: Produce JSON or pipe-friendly fields so results can feed into other workflows.
Use Case: You need illustrative visuals for a PR or a help doc—search for a GIF topic, preview a few candidates, download the best one, then extract a representative still or a multi-frame sheet.
