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
