gifcap is a browser-based screen recorder that captures your screen or a single window and encodes it into an optimized animated GIF entirely client-side. It uses WASM with libimagequant and gifsicle for fast, high-quality rendering with no server uploads.

Use cases

  • record my screen as a gif in the browser
  • create animated gif demos of an app without installing software
  • trim and crop a screen recording before exporting a gif
  • make small optimized gif files for documentation
  • capture a single window to gif privately without uploading anything

When to choose

  • you need a quick, zero-install gif recorder that works in any modern browser
  • privacy matters and nothing should leave your machine
  • you want small, optimized gif output with trimming and cropping

When to avoid

  • you need video formats like mp4 or webm instead of gif
  • you require long, high-framerate recordings where gif encoding is inefficient
  • you need server-side or batch automated recording
