Screen Recording to GIF
Convert a screen recording to a crisp animated GIF for bug reports, GitHub issues, Jira tickets, product demos, and tutorials. Trim the key moment and render it locally with no upload.
GIFs from screen recordings
Screen recordings make great GIFs for issue trackers, pull requests and docs, where an animated GIF beats a static screenshot. Keep the clip short and the width modest so the GIF embeds smoothly in GitHub, Jira or Notion. The two-pass palette keeps UI text and edges readable.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the best GIF setting for a bug report?
- Trim to the reproduction steps, use 480px width and 10–15 fps. That keeps text legible while staying small enough to attach to GitHub or Jira.
- Is my recording private?
- Yes — it's processed entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for recordings of internal tools or unreleased products.

GIF is best for short silent loops. For longer videos, audio, or better quality per megabyte, use the private video compressor. If your output is unexpectedly large, read why GIF files get so large and how to shrink them, or use the guide to compress video without uploading it.
