Zenbooru (全ボール) is a client for image boards implementing the Gelbooru v0.2, Danbooru (v1 & v2) and Moebooru APIs and supporting booru.org sites.

Click here for a list of sites known to work with Zenbooru.

Features:

• Aggregates results from multiple image boards at once, merging duplicate images and their tags into a single image.
• Supports images (png, jpeg, gif, bmp, webp, svg) and videos (webm, mp4).
• Downloads and shows formatted translation notes over content.
• Preloads next images/videos for a smoother viewing experience.
• Content is king and is always visible and automatically resized to fit the window.
• The sidebar and settings menu fades in from the side discreetly and doesn't disturb you unless requested.
• Thumbnail strip that supports scrolling horizontally with vertical only scroll wheels.
• Easily add as many new sites as you want in the "☰ Settings" menu.
• Converts animated gifs into videos (via gyfcat) before downloading for smoother playback and smaller file sizes.
• Images tagged pixel_art or oekaki use nearest neighbour (instead of the usual bilinear) interpolation and so aren't blurry when scaled.
• RFC2324 compliant.

How to use:

• The sidebar is hidden by default and is shown by moving your mouse towards the left edge (side configurable) of the window.
• The sidebar contains the search bar, the "highest rating" preference for searches, a list of tags for the current image, and finally a link to download said image.
• The + sign adds the tag beside it to your current search.
• The - sign excludes the tag beside it from your current search.
• The ✕ sign reverts the tag beside it so that it is neither included nor excluded from your current search.
• The thumbnail strip is also hidden by default and is shown by moving your mouse towards the bottom edge of the window.
• Scrolling down or up over the thumbnail strip will scroll one thumbnail to the left or right respectively.
• Clicking on a thumbnail will jump straight to that image or video.
• To move to the next image or video either left-click on the offending image, press the right arrow key or press the period key ., or click the "Forwards >>" button in the sidebar.
• To move to the previous image or video either right-click on the offending image, press the left arrow key or press the comma key ,, or click the "<< Backwards" button in the sidebar.
• Holding shift while pressing any of those keyboard keys (but not the mouse clicks) will move by 10 images instead of just 1.
• Middle clicking the image or video toggles a 100% zoom mode (i.e. the content's natural size, not resized to fit the window) and dragging the image or video will pan it.
• To toggle fullscreen mode, press F11.

Plan to add:

• APNG support.
• More image boards.
• Comments and other metadata.
• Add button to expand thumbnail strip into larger window with multiple rows.
• Site login & authentication.
• Cross-site tag mapping, e.g. one site might use the photoshop tag while another uses image_manipulation instead (might be out of scope and better done in a locally run cacher/aggregator service).
