How to use
Creating a GIF from your screen is quick and straightforward.
- 1
Start by selecting the screen, window, or browser tab you want to record. Capture the activity you want to turn into a GIF (up to 1 minute), then stop the recording when you're finished — or let it auto-stop at 60 seconds.
