LICEcap is a lightweight desktop application that captures an area of your screen and saves it directly as an animated GIF or its native lossless LCF format. It runs on Windows and macOS, supports pausing, hotkeys, adjustable framerate, and mouse click capture during recording.
Use cases
- record an animated gif of a bug reproduction
- capture a portion of my screen as a gif
- create animated screenshots for documentation
- record mouse clicks in a screen capture
- make a lightweight screen recording without video files
- capture ui interactions as an animated gif
When to choose
- you need quick, lightweight animated GIF screen captures on Windows or macOS
- you want a simple tool with no configuration overhead
- you need to throttle CPU usage or pause/resume recordings
When to avoid
- you need full video recording with audio (use OBS or similar)
- you need editing, annotations, or trimming after capture
- you need native Linux support (it only works via WINE)
