>log in to commentWe built Screen To GIF because a GIF of a bug says more than a paragraph of repro steps. Pick a tab, a window or any region of your screen, record, trim and crop it, and save a GIF, MP4 or WebM that drops straight into a GitHub issue or PR. Everything runs locally in Chrome: no uploads, no watermark. We'd love your feedback, especially on what would make it more useful in your bug-report workflow.

Screen To GIF FAQ
Does it work without a network connection?+
Yes. Capture and encoding are local. You only need a network if the page you capture needs one.
Can I record system audio or my microphone?+
No, not in this version. Recordings are silent, which is what most documentation and bug reports need.
Is this related to the ScreenToGif desktop app?+
No, it is an independent Chrome extension with no affiliation to the Windows app.
