Discord GIF Exporter

Userscript and Node.js script for exporting GIFs from Discord as files.

Installation

• Userscript:
  1. Install a userscript manager browser extension like Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey.
  2. Click here to install the userscript.
• Node.js script:
  1. Install Node.js.
  2. Clone this repository with Git or download it here and extract the .zip file.

Usage

1. Open Discord in your browser, log in, and navigate to any chat.
2. Open the "Favorite" GIFs panel (also records any other GIF panel that is opened, until the tab is closed or refreshed).
3. Semi-slowly scroll down until all GIFs were loaded to record them.
   They don't have to fully load, just the rectangular frame needs to exist.
4. Click the userscript manager extension's icon somewhere in the browser toolbar.
5. Select "Export to file" to download all GIF URLs as a gifs.json file. Don't rename this file.
6. Move the gifs.json file to the project directory where the Node.js script is, so it sits in the same folder as package.json
7. Open a terminal window in the Node.js script's directory and run the command node .
8. The exported GIFs will be saved to a newly created ./output/ folder.
   Running the command again will not delete the existing ./output/ folder, but will overwrite any existing files in the same position and the same file name.
