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.

屏幕录制转 GIF — 常见问题

用任意工具录制屏幕(macOS Cmd+Shift+5、OBS、QuickTime、Windows 游戏录制),然后上传文件,裁剪到关键片段,设置帧率为 10–15,导出 GIF 即可。

支持 MP4、WebM(Chrome/OBS 默认格式)、MOV(Mac/QuickTime)和 AVI,上传任意格式均可自动识别。

大多数 UI 演示和 Bug 复现用 10–15 FPS 即可,既流畅又小,适合嵌入 GitHub 或 Notion 而不影响页面加载速度。

录制展示功能或 Bug 的屏幕操作,上传后裁剪到关键时刻,以 10–12 FPS 和 800–1000px 宽导出,然后直接拖拽 GIF 文件到 GitHub PR 描述中即可。

降低帧率(8–12 FPS 足够大多数 UI 演示),减小输出宽度(800px 对大多数文档嵌入已经足够),并在高级工作室中将有损压缩比调高到 60–80。

可以。打开品牌工作室面板添加自定义文字叠加,适合在教程中标注步骤或在分享的 GIF 上添加团队网址。

最大上传 100 MB。几秒到几分钟的屏幕录制通常远低于此限制,即使是 4K 分辨率也不例外。
