Gyazo GIF
With Gyazo GIF you can easily create a screen gif or screen video with HD quality and it works the same way you upload captures.
You can capture up to 7 seconds with Gyazo Lite or up to 60 seconds with Gyazo Pro.
Gyazo GIF doesn't record sound at this time but we are working on system and microphone sound capture. If you want to record sounds, please use Gyazo Replay (for Windows only).

Share new screen GIFs and videos in seconds to any app
Capture new GIFs and share by pasting the link. Same as when you sharing Gyazo images.
Any moments happening on your screen in apps and games can be captured and sent to friends or fans in a few easy steps.
Use it to capture surprising wins, hype moments, or how to tips in games. In apps or websites you can use it to show how to navigate a menu and complete steps to achieve a desired outcome.
Note: Gyazo GIF actually captures a
.mp4 video file first, then creates a .gif copy. You can grab either format by going to the image page then in the top bar clicking the Share button. For extra long captures the .gif option is removed because the file size would be too large to be practical. We recommend using short video files in any case as it is easier to share and display on mobile devices and for people with slower internet connections. Many people say "GIF" but really want to see a short video clip and not the
.gif file format.
