How to turn a screen recording into a GIF
Record your screen
Use any tool: macOS Cmd+Shift+5, Windows Game Bar, OBS, Loom, or Chrome DevTools recorder.
Upload the recording
Drag and drop the video file — MP4, WebM, MOV, or AVI, up to 100 MB.
Trim, configure & export
Cut to the relevant clip, set FPS and width, then export as GIF. Done in seconds.
Where to use screen recording GIFs
GitHub issues & PRs
Attach a GIF of the bug or feature to your PR description. Much clearer than text, no reviewer setup needed.
Documentation & wikis
Embed GIF walkthroughs in Notion, Confluence, or README files. Readers see the flow without playing a video.
Slack & team chat
Share UI demos, bug reproductions, or onboarding flows directly in Slack threads as inline GIFs.
Tutorials & courses
Turn screen recording clips into step-by-step GIF sequences. Learners can pause and study each frame.
Tips for smaller, sharper GIFs
| Best FPS for screen recordings | 10–15 FPS — smooth enough for most UI interactions, keeps file size small |
| Recommended width | 800–1200px — matches most doc embed widths, stays sharp on retina displays |
| Reduce file size | Enable Advanced Studio → raise lossy compression to 60–80 for docs use |
| Supported formats | MP4, WebM (Chrome/OBS), MOV (Mac/QuickTime), AVI |

Use Cases
Screen recordings that live forever
Video files need a player. GIFs play everywhere — inline in tickets, wikis, emails, and chat. Convert your screen recording once, share it anywhere.
Developer Docs
Embed screen recording GIFs directly in GitHub READMEs, pull requests, and Notion wikis. A 5-second GIF of a feature working is worth a thousand words of description.
Customer Support
Attach a GIF to a support ticket or Jira issue instead of writing a 10-step reproduction guide. GIFs attach to tickets in Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues, and Zendesk.
Product & Marketing
Turn product walkthroughs into autoplay GIFs for landing pages, onboarding emails, and Slack announcements. No play button, no buffering, instant.
Pro tips
Make better screen recording GIFs
Keep it under 10 seconds
The best screen recording GIFs show one action, one outcome. Trim ruthlessly — if it takes 10+ seconds to show the thing, split into two GIFs.
Slow your cursor down
Cursor movements that feel natural in real time often look frantic in a GIF. Slow down deliberately during the recording to make the GIF easy to follow.
Crop to the relevant area
A full-screen recording of a small UI element is hard to follow. Crop to the area of action — the button, the form, the animation — before converting.

Once the recording is trimmed, keep the GIF and video paths both alive
Screen recordings are high-intent conversion traffic. The bridge helps them stay in the GIF toolset while offering a clean jump into video creation.

Bildschirmaufnahme zu GIF — Häufig gestellte Fragen
Nehmen Sie Ihren Bildschirm mit einem beliebigen Tool auf (macOS Cmd+Shift+5, OBS, QuickTime, Windows Game Bar) und laden Sie die Datei hier hoch. Schneiden Sie auf den relevanten Clip zu, stellen Sie FPS auf 10–15 ein und exportieren Sie als GIF.
MP4, WebM (Standard für Chrome/OBS), MOV (Mac/QuickTime) und AVI werden alle unterstützt. Laden Sie einfach das Format hoch, das Ihr Recorder ausgibt.
10–15 FPS sind ideal. Bildschirminhalte bestehen überwiegend aus statischem Text und Benutzeroberflächen — hohe FPS verschwenden Speicherplatz, ohne die Lesbarkeit zu verbessern.
