Sending screenshots is so old-fashioned. Gif maker is the new way to record screen and share with your point crystal clear. Unlike simple screencasts, this neatly designed screen recorder captures the chosen area of your screen as animated GIFs. Simply speaking, it’s a smart mixture of static images and full-size videos. Use it anytime you need to create and share animated instructions, micro-screencasts, as well as demos and workflows. By the way, Gifox is also a nice fit for people who are engaged in bug reporting.

  • Make a GIF out of a screen area or window

  • Edit your GIFs and change output quality

  • Compress your GIFs so they weigh less

  • Find the recent GIFs in the menu bar

Gifox features


Select any screen area

Create a GIF out of the particular area of your screen by selecting it and simply hitting Record. Or use the Cmd + Shift + 5 keyboard shortcut to instantly record your onscreen activity. Once you are done, just hit the Stop button and Gifox will automatically create a lightweight GIF, saving it to your Downloads folder.


Frame a single window

Easily and quickly record just one perfect app window with no overlaps or cuts instead of taking multiple screenshots to help your team reveal that naughty bug. To start recording, simply go for the corresponding Window selection mode or use the Command + Shift + 6 keyboard shortcut.


Customize the Gif compression

Use this screen capture GIF application to grab a screencast as a GIF at any time. And don’t forget to take advantage of the advanced compression options. With Gifox you decide on the output quality and file size your animations should feature. Simply proceed to Settings > Compression tab to get it right.


Record GIFs the way you like

Decide what exactly you wish to record and the preferable way to do this. Gifox offers a complete variety of options, whether it’s to record screens or their desirable elements, as well as choosing FPS. At the end, you can even pick the part of the loop you like best.


Share results over the cloud

Take your creations online to make them accessible from any device with an internet connection. Currently, this handy GIF recorder is compatible with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Imgur, all of which can be accessed without any special logins or accounts. In addition, new sharing options are added all the time.


Access recordings instantly

Grab any of your recent recordings right from the app in your Mac’s menu bar. Drag and drop your GIFs whenever you need or get a direct sharing link to any of your creations without switching from what you’re doing. Gifox offers the ultimate ease of access with no interruptions to your workflow.

    I’m not a fan of working from my menu bar. The cropping tool is about the only thing I liked on this. The version I had did not show a Save As function. I like working with different versions. Having to EXPORT all the time seems a bit silly to me.

    Response from Developer

    Hey Bubba, thanks for giving Gifox a try and for sharing your thoughts! I get that status bar apps aren't for everyone and we had a few similar requests in the past to have an option for Gifox to run as a regular app, especially after it became more than just a recorder. This is in our backlog, we'll do this eventually, but currently focused on other priorities. Regarding having to export all the time – we need to store the original recording / composition if we want to keep the editing functionality (trim, crop, apply different compression settings). If we simply save everything "as is", the editing ability would be lost, so that's why we're taking the "export" approach. That said, we know the app is far from ideal, especially the editor. We've recently posted "what's next for Gifox" article outlining some near-term plans – check it out here and feel free to comment further on this: https://medium.com/gifox/whats-next-for-gifox-e80dffc0a0db Valerie ✌️
