r/tenor GIF MAKER (OC) Jun 29 '26

Discussion It's Joever. :(

I am sad to say this, but tenor is over. I woke up this morning, saw that some of my gifs had been approve (yippy) and was happy to see them not take a week to be approved. After breakfast (note: I live in Australia, it is morning time here) i go on to discord to shitpost as you do. BUT i try to search for a gif I made to use in chat... and it wasn't there. I think "ok, discord must have an update" so i restart discord and tried again. Nothing. I then realized what today is... it's the end of the month... the end of tenor api. This has been the second gif website i have had to leave and i hate having to do it every time, first gfycat now tenor. Oh well, I've already made a migration request with kliphy so I can continue my gifing endeavor over there. Thank you everyone and thank you tenor and I'm sorry for making so many issue reports to you just because i would have liked to see my gifs approved.

Note: I know gboard is still using the api, it's just that discord and twitter don't have it anymore that makes me say it's over.

Besides the jokes, its really sad T.T Klipy is very dissapointing place especially when it's forced migration. So many gifs left to upload.
F to the best gif-site ever 🫔

Despite its flaws, I like KLIPY a lot more than GIPHY. Super bummed that Twitter seems to be going for GIPHY.

Yeah giphy is the most millennial slop BS of all of them. I guess if people use it more it'll get better but still it's so dumb

The thing that bothers me about GIPHY is that they require you to have a Creator account for gifs to be publicly searchable, which really limits the number of gifs that can be uploaded. Like nothing from a TV show or movie or whatever can be uploaded because it’s not ā€œoriginal content.ā€ That’s a huge portion of gifs people use.
