About ScreenToGif
ScreenToGif is a free and open-source screen recorder for Windows by Nicke Manarin, released under the Microsoft Public License. It records a selected area of your screen, a live webcam feed or drawings on a built-in sketchboard, making it a quick way to create animated demos for documentation, bug reports or chats.
After recording, a built-in editor lets you review and remove frames, change delays, crop, and add text, annotations and transitions before saving the result as a GIF, APNG, video, PSD or PNG images. The app requires the .NET 9 Desktop Runtime or newer and is distributed through GitHub, the Microsoft Store and Chocolatey.
