What you get
Turn short moments into looping GIFs you can save and share.
You get a way to turn a short moment into a GIF on your Mac, whether you want to send a favorite video moment to a friend or keep it for later. You start and stop capture with a click, with recordings up to 30 seconds long.
You can choose how your GIF loops and adjust its frame rate to change how the motion looks. Add captions, style the text, and animate it to give your clip context. Before saving, you can check the expected file size.
When you're done, you can save your GIF, email it, or upload it to GIPHY so you can find and share it again later.
