GIF recorder

Record your Mac screen as a GIF.

A short loop explains a click path better than a paragraph, and it plays everywhere: docs, tickets, chats and email. HashShot records GIFs directly or makes them from any recording.

What you get

Built for work you share.

Part of HashShot, the screenshot and screen recording app for Mac that keeps everything on your Mac.

  • Size against sharpness

    Choose 8 to 20 frames per second, a maximum width, and a quality level that suits chat apps with upload limits.

  • Studio GIFs

    With Studio mode on, GIFs get the smooth pointer, click ripples, zooms and background too.

  • From any recording

    Trim a video in the editor and export just that part as a GIF.

  • Saved on your Mac

    GIFs land in your library, ready to drag into any app.
