Our GIF maker runs entirely in your web browser, converting screen recordings to GIF format using cloud servers. This zero-install approach means you can start recording on any Mac, Windows, or ChromeOS device in seconds without performance lag.
Annotate for Total Clarity
Use our built-in tools to add text overlays, directional arrows, and circles to your recording. You can also apply a mask to blur or pixelate sensitive data like passwords or personal information, ensuring your GIF is safe to share.
Optimize for Quick Sharing
Once you finish recording, easily cut and crop the GIF to focus on the relevant window or action. You can export your GIF at 10, 20, or 25 frames per second to keep the file size small and optimized for quick sharing in emails, messaging apps like Slack, or project management tools.

What is a screen-to-GIF tool?
A screen-to-GIF tool records your screen and saves it as an animated GIF for easy sharing. With Flixier, you can capture your screen as a GIF without leaving your web browser, making it perfect for quick tutorials or bug reports that get your point across instantly.
Do I need to download an application to create a GIF?
No. Flixier doesn't require you to download or install anything on your device to work. The entire recording and rendering process happens securely in the cloud, which means it will not slow down your computer and works on Mac, Windows, and Chromebooks.
How do I share GIFs on Slack or email?
GIFs are incredibly easy to share over messaging apps. You can drag and drop your exported GIF file directly into a Slack channel, or insert it into an email just like a standard image. It will automatically loop for everyone, ensuring your recording is seen.
How can I optimize my GIF file size?
To keep file sizes small, use the timeline to trim your recording to just the essential seconds. You can also export it at lower frame rates, like 10 or 20, to reduce the final file size for faster uploading.
Can I hide sensitive information in my screen recording?
Yes. If you accidentally capture an email address or password, you can apply a mask to blur or pixelate parts of your GIF. You can also draw solid black bars on top of the sensitive data to cover it up completely before exporting.
