03 /screenshot
Creates a GIF screenshot of a specific message by its ID. Handy when you can't right-click (for example, in a different channel) or when you're scripting a workflow.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
message_id | Yes | The ID of the message you want to screenshot. |
How do I get a message ID?
Turn on Developer Mode in Discord (Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode). Then right-click any message and choose Copy Message ID. Paste that into the message_id field.
04 /giphyfy
Converts an image or short video into a high-quality GIF. Upload a file, optionally tweak the settings, and GiphyFy hands you a ready-to-share GIF.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
file | — | Required. The image or video to convert. |
quality | high | High uses smooth gradients (dithering); Sharp keeps hard edges with no dithering. Pick Sharp for pixel art, logos and text. |
fps | 8 | Frames per second for videos. Range 1–15. Higher is smoother but bigger. |
max_duration | 5 | How many seconds of the video to use, from the start. Range 1–15. |
Supported formats & limits
- Images: PNG, JPG, WEBP.
- Videos: MP4, WEBM, MOV (AVI and MKV also work).
- Video upload limit: 15 MB. The output GIF is capped at Discord's 25 MB limit.
- Sizing: videos are scaled down to a maximum width of 320 px to keep GIFs light and Discord-friendly.
Getting a "GIF is too large" error? Lower the fps or the max_duration. See how to shrink a GIF under Discord's limit.
05 /embed
Drops a TikTok or Instagram video straight into the chat as a playable clip, so people don't have to leave Discord to watch it. YouTube support is coming soon.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
link | Yes | A public TikTok or Instagram video link. |
/embed only works with publicly available links and is meant for sharing — please respect each platform's terms and the original creator's rights.
06 /help
Shows a quick in-Discord summary of GiphyFy's features and commands — a handy reminder without leaving the app.
07 The delete button
Every GIF GiphyFy creates comes with a 🗑️ Delete button attached. Only the person who generated the GIF — or the author of the original message — can use it. Made a mistake or changed your mind? One click and it's gone. No mod tools or message-manage permissions required.
08 Where GiphyFy works
GiphyFy is flexible about how you install it:
- As a User App — add it to your own account and use it anywhere on Discord, including servers where it isn't installed, group chats and DMs.
- In a server — add it to a server so everyone there can use it.
