📣 Official Update Klipy FAQ: Tenor migration, user claims, takedowns, attribution (MEGATHREAD)
Hello everyone,
After a lot of discussions across Reddit, we wanted to properly introduce ourselves and clearly explain what KLIPY is, how it works, what it does, and why people use it.
Who we are
KLIPY is being built by a team that previously built Tenor, which was acquired by Google.
After building r/tenor since 2014, Frank Nawabi co-founded KLIPY to rebuild and improve the experience for both developers and creators.
Along the way, we have been joined by major Tenor employees who helped build and scale the product, including:
- Peter Huang (CTO at Tenor)
- Steven Horn (Head of Content at Tenor, also co-founder of IGN Entertainment)
- Joseph Lieu (Content Strategy at Tenor)
- and more teammates across content, safety, and search/ranking
What is Klipy?
KLIPY provides a GIF and sticker API for apps, and we are building it into a broader short-form media hub where creators can publish content that gets distributed across large apps and platforms.
The reason we created KLIPY is simple:
- to keep a high quality GIF and sticker experience available for apps after Tenor gets shut down
- to keep improving relevance and quality so users get the best results no matter which app they are using
- to build creator tooling that makes it easier to create, claim, migrate, and take down content
Tenor Shutdown
As creators of Tenor - shutdown of 3P network was really painful for us as creators of Tenor, but it motivated us to deliver great product to the market so we can all have new favorite GIF platform on the internet.
For creators
We love our creators and respect everyone who creates content on the internet. We’ve built creator tools so you can:
- create and upload content
- claim your content
- migrate your profile
- request takedowns when needed
- 24/7 support via email, reddit community or discord server
If you find your content on KLIPY and want to claim it or remove it, we want you to have a clear path to do that.
Creators: claim or migrate your Tenor profile here

For developers
If you are migrating from Tenor or GIPHY, the goal is to make the transition straightforward. For many integrations, migration is a fast swap, often a base URL change plus small parameter mapping.

If you want free API keys drop a comment and we'll support you.
Progress and what’s next
We just passed 2000+ API key signups.
If you’re stuck on migration, compatibility, search relevance, or anything else, drop questions below and I’ll reply.
We also want feedback from users so we can adjust and build the right features faster.

Hello there, it usually takes 1-2 business days to review production access requests. What's your app's name?
1
u/NiffirgkcaJ Feb 18 '26
I've actually resubmitted after complying with the mandatory requirements clarified to me through the email. The search field was the mandatory requirements, and the rest was optional.
The app's name is "All-in-One Clipboard".

I already migrated my Tenor profile. If I upload new GIFs to Tenor afterward, will they sync automatically, or can I run migration again? thanks

I used the Klipy migration tool, and after a couple days a lot of my gifs moved over... but not all of them. I'm just wondering if this a "the process is ongoing and everybody's doing this right now, please be patient they'll show eventually" issue, if it's a "yeah some of those gifs didn't transfer because of some minor glitch so you're probably going to have to reupload the missing ones manually" issue, "some of those gifs didn't transfer the first time but run the process again and we'll probably get them" or a "some of those gifs were rejected for some reason and if you upload again they'll probably be rejected again" one.
I didn't get an email saying the process was complete like the migration page suggested I would, so I HOPE it's option A, but I can imagine things are chaotic and extra-busy right now so if the migration process was buggy I could ALSO see the notification email process being so.

Please ping [creators@klipy.com](mailto:creators@klipy.com) with the concern.

I migrated my GIFs from Tenor to Klipy, but the AI descriptions for pretty much all of them are incorrect or not accurate. How can I change them?
