GIPHY: The GIF Search Engine

A GIF, clip and sticker search/sharing app with creation tools and an iMessage extension.

Our take

Consider it for finding a visual reaction quickly

Search, favorites and direct sharing reduce switching between media sources.

Keep in mind: Clips can include sound, and shared or uploaded media is not a private local notebook.

What you can do

  • Search GIFs, clips and stickers.
  • Save favorites and share to supported channels.
  • Create media from camera or uploads.
  • Use stickers through iMessage and the keyboard extension.

Good for

  • People who frequently send visual reactions.

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone needing a professional video editor or guaranteed rights for commercial reuse.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.6.
  • Third-party sharing support depends on the receiving app.
  • Check media rights before republishing beyond personal messages.

Privacy & permissions

Camera uploads and created stickers may reveal faces or personal material. Share deliberately and review keyboard permissions when enabling the extension.
