Changes to GIF card support in the editor

Integrations & API
1

Hi everyone,

Heads up for self-hosters: Google is shutting down the Tenor API on 30 June 2026. Tenor is what powers GIF search in the Ghost editor today, so we’ve added Klipy as a replacement you can switch to right now.

What’s actually changing?
Google is retiring the Tenor API on 30 June 2026. After that date, searching for GIFs in the editor through Tenor will stop working.

What’s replacing it?
Klipy. It’s a new GIF provider you can configure in Ghost today, and it does the same job Tenor did in the editor.

How do I get a Klipy key?
Request one for free at partner.klipy.com.

How do I set it up?
Add the key to your config.[env].json:

"klipy": {
    "apiKey": "..."
}

Full details are in the configuration docs.

Will the GIFs already in my posts break?
No. Google confirmed that media.tenor.com will keep serving existing GIF URLs after the shutdown, so anything already published stays exactly as it is.

I’m on Ghost(Pro). Do I need to do anything?
No. This is handled for you.

When’s the deadline?
30 June 2026. There’s no reason to wait though, so set up Klipy whenever it’s convenient.

Happy to answer any questions below.

Same on Magic Pages.

Thank you for proactively taking care of that, Ghost team!

The day has arrived: the Tenor API shutdown has now happened as scheduled, and Tenor GIF search no longer works in the editor.

If you haven’t already, set up Klipy to get it back. Grab a free key at partner.klipy.com, and add it to your config.[env].json.

The docs now list Klipy as the only GIF provider; the old Tenor setup steps have been removed. Ghost(Pro) users, nothing to do: this was handled for you.
