MotionShine01 / Record
Screen, window or tab
Your browser asks which screen, window or tab to share; only what you pick is recorded.
Free tool
Screen to GIF, record, trim, share.
Show a bug, a quick how-to or a new feature in a GIF that plays anywhere: in a ticket, a pull request, a chat or a doc. Press Record, choose the whole screen, a window or a browser tab, do the thing, then press Stop. Trim the start and end, set the speed and save. Only the pixels that change are stored, so screen GIFs stay small.
Press Record, then pick the screen, a window or a tab to share.
Up to 60 seconds. For longer recordings with sound, a camera bubble and zoom, a screen recorder app is the better fit.
The recording stays in your browser and is never uploaded.
Why a GIF
Plays anywhere, no player needed.
02 / Trim
Cut the fumbling
Drag the start and end to keep only the useful part, and preview it before saving.
03 / Small
Only changes stored
Screens change little from frame to frame, so each frame after the first keeps only the pixels that moved.
Questions
Good to know.
How do I record my screen as a GIF?
Press Record, choose the screen, a window or a tab, do what you want to show, then press Stop. Trim it, then press Make the GIF.
Is there a time limit?
Up to 60 seconds, which suits GIFs; longer GIFs get very large. For longer videos, record an MP4 instead.
Does it record sound?
No. GIFs have no sound. Use a screen recorder for video with your voice.
Why is my GIF large?
Big screens and many frames add up. Pick a smaller width, 5 or 10 frames a second, or fewer colours.
Is it uploaded?
No. The recording and the GIF are made in your browser.
