How to search for GIFs on Telegram — three steps
Type @gifer and a word
Right in the message field of any chat — private, group or channel.
Scroll the strip
Results keep loading while you scroll. Not ten thumbnails and a dead end.
Tap — it's sent
The GIF goes straight into the chat. No forwarding, no extra screens.
You don't have to add the bot to the chat and you don't have to press /start first: inline mode works straight from the message field.

What the GIF bot can do
Instant results
The first results appear instantly, the rest load as you keep scrolling.
Empty query, your GIFs
Type the username and nothing else: the GIFs you already sent come first, trending follows.
Groups and channels
Inline mode runs from the message field, so the bot never has to join the chat.
No ads in the results
The strip is GIFs only — no promo cards wedged between them.
Phone, desktop and web
Inline mode works the same in the mobile apps, in Telegram Desktop and in the web version.
Free, no sign-up
No account, no subscription. The bot doesn't need to be added to your chat, and it doesn't read it.
Works right inside a group chat
Nobody to invite, nothing to configure: you type the username in the message field and a ready GIF lands in the chat.
- The bot never has to be added to the group or channel
- What you type in the search isn't visible in the chat — only the result is
- The sent GIF keeps a small “via @gifer” label: that's how other people find it
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and Telegram's built-in @gif?
@gifer finds more accurate GIFs. An empty query shows your own GIFs plus trending, and there are no ads in the results. You can check it on your own query.
How do I search for GIFs on Telegram?
In the message field of any chat type @gifer, a space and a word — a strip of GIFs opens under the field. Pick one and it is sent to the chat. You never leave the conversation.
How do I send a GIF on Telegram from a phone and from a computer?
The same way in both: type @gifer and a word in the message field, then tap or click the GIF you want. Inline mode works in the mobile apps, in Telegram Desktop and in the web version.
No GIFs showing up when I search in Telegram — what can I do?
Type @gifer and a word right in the message field — the strip of GIFs opens under it. If the strip stays empty, check your connection and try another word.
Do I have to add the bot to a group?
No. Inline mode runs from the message field: the bot doesn't need to be added to the chat, and it doesn't see the conversation.
Does it work in channels?
Yes. If you are allowed to post in the channel, the username in the message field works there just like in a normal chat.
How do I save a GIF on Telegram?
Telegram lets you add a sent GIF to your saved GIFs with a long press. On top of that the bot remembers what you sent: an empty query shows those GIFs first.
Is the bot free?
Yes. No paid features, no subscription and no ads in the results.
Do I need to register?
No. Telegram is enough: no separate account is created and the bot never asks for access to your messages.
