Questions
Is it free to turn a screen recording into a GIF?
Yes, 100% free. No sign up, no watermark and no limits.
Does my recording get uploaded?
No. Your video never leaves your device. The GIF is made right in your browser, so it stays private. That matters for screen recordings, which often show private info.
Does it work with WebM screen recordings?
Yes. WebM files from browser and OBS recordings work, including ones that don't show a length in other players.
How do I make my screen GIF readable?
Use 480 wide so text stays sharp, keep the clip short, and 10 fps is usually enough for screen content.
Can I use it for a GitHub bug report?
Yes. Short screen GIFs are perfect for GitHub issues, pull requests, docs and Slack messages.
What video formats work?
Any video your browser can play, like MP4, WebM and MOV.
