Usage

  • In Alfred, enter gif keyword followed by search query.
  • Press ↩.
  • Use arrow keys or mouse to browse the GIFs.
  • To copy the selected GIF to clipboard:
    • either ⌘↩
    • or ⌘-click
  • To copy the URL of selected GIF to clipboard:
    • either ⌥↩
    • or ⌥-click
  • To drop the GIF into apps that support it:

Note

Firefox and Chrome don't support pasting GIFs from clipboard. That is, if you copy a GIF to clipboard and paste it, it shows up as a static image, not an animated GIF. This is not a bug in this workflow, but rather just the way these browsers have decided to handle GIFs.

Both Chrome and Firefox support drag-n-drop. If you use either of these browsers, sorry, you gotta use the mouse!
