Are you tired of Discord's built-in GIF search being restricted, broken, or forcing you to use Giphy? Bring Back Tenor adds a dedicated, fully-functional Tenor GIF search panel directly into your Discord chat bar.
It seamlessly integrates into the UI, and brings back the old Tenor that we used to love.
- Direct Tenor Search: Search Tenor's massive library of GIFs directly from the chat box.
- Trending GIFs: Automatically see trending GIFs when you open the panel.
- Bypass Restrictions: Uses internal Electron APIs to completely bypass CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) blocks that plague web-based GIF tools.
- Auto-Embed Conversion: Intelligently converts
.mp4and.webmlinks back to.gifformats before sending, ensuring Discord automatically embeds the image rather than sending a video link. - Native Input Integration: Uses Discord's rich text editor (Slate) via simulated clipboard pasting. This means GIFs send quickly, reliably, and without ghost text issues.
- Auto-Updating: Built-in support for BetterDiscord's plugin update system.
- Make sure you have BetterDiscord installed.
- Download the latest
BringBackTenor.plugin.jsfile from the Releases or directly from themainbranch. - Open Discord and go to User Settings > Plugins.
- Click Open Plugins Folder.
- Drop the
BringBackTenor.plugin.jsfile into that folder. - Enable the plugin in your Discord Plugins settings.
- Look for the new "GIF (T)" button in your chat text area (next to the standard attachment/gift buttons).
- Click it to toggle the Tenor Search Panel.
- Type in a search term, or browse the initial trending results.
- Click any GIF to instantly send it to the current channel.
(If direct sending fails, the plugin will automatically copy the link to your clipboard so you can just
Ctrl+Vand hit Enter).
