Too good not to share

Every now and then I find a great tool that I just have to share with others.
This is one of them. It is called ScreenToGif, it allows you to record a portion of your screen and save it as an animated gif. It also works with your webcam if you want.

There are times when you just want to show someone how to use a program or website, or show them what happens when you do something and you get an error.
You could get your client or tester to use it to show you an error that you can't recreate.

Anyway, stop reading this and try it yourself. It's completely free, and it doesn't need to be installed. Just download the zip file, and open the file Screen2Gif.exe

Share

If you like it, share it with your friends colleagues and clients.
