This is a tutorial on how you can backup and restore your Discord favorite gifs (on windows)

This won't work anymore because Discord moved to cloud storage for the gifs

Backup

  1. Open Discord.
  2. Press CTRL, SHIFT and I on your keyboard at the same time.
  3. In the newly opened window, at the top, click the >> button, and then click on Application.

  5. At the top of the tab type gif in the box that says Filter.

  6. Double click the value of GIFFavoritesStore and copy that somewhere. Backup done!

Nice! Interesting that some media downloads while viewing an exported/parsed HTML, and some - does not. It seems the "src" value may or may not start with "http(s):", thus added a little change: https://jsfiddle.net/26va05b3/

For example, some Json contained:

{    
    "width":640,
    "height":640,
    "src":"//media.tenor.com/videos/b4f873c80148b9f044a0c68acee0f81d/mp4",
    "url":"https://tenor.com/view/stars-glitters-sparkles-purple-shiny-gif-17171909",
    "format":"VIDEO"
}
