What is it?

ScreenToGif records a chosen area of your screen, a live webcam feed, or drawings from a sketchboard. After recording, you can edit the frames in a built-in editor and save the result as an animated GIF, APNG, video, PSD file, or single PNG image.

The app is written in C# on WPF and runs on Windows. It requires the .NET 9 Desktop Runtime or a newer version. It is distributed through GitHub releases, the Microsoft Store, and Chocolatey, and the source code is available under the MS-PL license.

It is aimed at people who need to produce short screen captures for documentation, bug reports, tutorials, or social posts without setting up a heavier video toolchain.
