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.

Next step

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.

화면 녹화 → GIF 변환 — 자주 묻는 질문

macOS Cmd+Shift+5, OBS, QuickTime, Windows Game Bar 등 원하는 도구로 화면을 녹화한 후 파일을 업로드하세요. 필요한 구간을 트리밍하고 FPS를 10~15로 설정한 후 GIF로 내보내면 됩니다.

MP4, WebM(Chrome/OBS 기본값), MOV(Mac/QuickTime), AVI 모두 지원합니다. 녹화 도구에서 출력되는 포맷 그대로 업로드하시면 됩니다.

10~15 FPS가 적합합니다. 화면 콘텐츠는 대부분 정적인 텍스트와 UI로 구성되어 있어, FPS가 높아도 가독성이 크게 향상되지 않고 파일 크기만 커집니다.
