ScreenToGif is a screen recording and animation editor that captures a selected area of your screen, webcam feed, or sketchboard drawings and saves them as GIF, APNG, video, PSD, or PNG files.
The tool solves the problem of creating animated demonstrations and tutorials by combining recording and editing in a single application. It lets you capture screen activity, webcam input, or freehand drawings, then edit the resulting frames before exporting to multiple formats. The editing capabilities allow you to refine your recordings before final output.
ScreenToGif suits developers and content creators who need to produce animated documentation, tutorials, or demonstrations without switching between separate recording and editing tools. It works on Windows and is available through multiple distribution channels including the Microsoft Store and Chocolatey. The tool requires the .NET Desktop Runtime, which is a dependency worth considering for deployment scenarios.
The project maintains active issue tracking and operates a Discord community channel for user engagement. Documentation is marked as work in progress, indicating ongoing effort to improve guidance materials. The project explicitly solicits community contributions through a dedicated help section in the README.
