Ready from your menu bar
Open a compact native GIF picker without jumping to another browser tab.
GIFBarn for Mac
Every reaction. Right from your menu bar.
Open GIFBarn and start typing. Search, browse Favorites, Recents, and Collections, then copy or drag the perfect GIF into the conversation without opening another tab. GIFBarn Pro adds 11 starter Collections, unlimited Collections, and optional private iCloud Sync.
Stay in your flow. Let GIFBarn handle the GIF hunt.
Move between Trending, Favorites, Recents, Collections, and Search, then copy, drag, share, or save the perfect GIF wherever you need it.
Favorites found. Recents remembered.
Keep favorite reactions close and return to GIFs you recently used.
Your searches, ready for an encore
Revisit recent searches or find something new with suggestions as you type.
Copy the real GIF
Click once to copy the actual animated GIF file, not just a link.
Drag it where it belongs
Drop GIFs into compatible Mac apps, chats, documents, and replies.
Share, link, or save
Use the native share picker, copy the source link, or save the GIF to your Mac.
Copied, and you know it
The GIF card itself confirms with Copied or Link Copied, so you can paste with confidence and keep talking.
Widgets on your desktop
Search, Favorites, and Recents widgets open GIFBarn right to that spot. With GIFBarn Pro, keep a favorite GIF, a Collection, or Trending in view.
Shortcuts and Spotlight
Open Search, Favorites, or Recents with Shortcuts. GIFBarn Pro adds shortcuts that copy a saved GIF, plus Spotlight results for Favorites and Collections.
Collections have left the stable
Round up the reactions you use most.
Stop searching for the same GIFs again and again. Build Collections for work, family, game day, group chats, and every mood in between, so the right reaction is always easy to find.
- Create, rename, reorder, and delete Collections anytime.
- Keep the same GIF in more than one Collection without making duplicates.
- Add GIFs to Collections right from the action menu.
Start with one Collection. Upgrade to GIFBarn Pro to unlock 11 ready-made Collections, plus unlimited Collections of your own.
Private iCloud Sync
Your library can roam. Your Recents stay local.
Keep your Favorites and Collections in sync across Mac, iPhone, and iPad through your private iCloud account. Recents and Recent Searches stay on the device where you used them.
Merge Libraries
Review both libraries, then combine them without losing either one.
Replace iCloud with This Mac
Use the library on this Mac as your new iCloud copy.
Your library stays lightweight and private. GIFBarn syncs library information through iCloud, not an uploaded archive of GIF files. Sync only turns on when you choose it, and no GIFBarn account is required.
Keyboard-friendly
One shortcut away. Hands on the keys.
Summon GIFBarn from anywhere with a global shortcut, then search, pick, and copy without reaching for the mouse.
- Open GIFBarn from any app with a global Open Shortcut.
- Jump between Search, Trending, Favorites, and Recents with ⌘1 through ⌘4.
- Arrow through suggestions and GIFs, then press Return to copy.
- Open at Startup keeps GIFBarn ready in your menu bar.
Your next reaction is one click away.
Download GIFBarn for Mac and find, copy, or drag the perfect GIF without breaking your flow.
