Why GifSnip Clip

Built for the GIF
you actually wanted to send.

Most screen recorders dump a 10 MB MP4 of your entire desktop. GifSnip Clip is the GIF maker that captures just the rectangle you drew — tight, smooth, ready to share as a proper animated GIF.

100% on-device

Frames never leave your machine. No GIF uploads, no telemetry, no analytics — everything happens inside the extension. Server only validates Pro licenses.

Region-only capture

Drag a rectangle. Only what's inside it gets recorded — no share picker, no notification peeking into your GIF.

30 fps, real motion

Smooth scrolling stays smooth. Hover states look right. No choppy 10fps junk.

Hi-DPI sharp

Code and UI text stay crisp, never blurry. 2x capture for Retina displays.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Yes. GifSnip Clip is a Chrome extension that works in any Chromium browser — Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, etc. It adds a button to your toolbar that lets you select any region of your current tab and record it as a GIF.

No. Everything happens locally on your device. Frames are captured, encoded, and saved directly to your Downloads folder. We never see your GIFs. The only server call is for Pro license validation.

Free is fully usable but limited: 3 second max recordings, 15 fps, 192 colors, watermarked exports. Pro unlocks 10 minute recordings, 30 fps, 256 colors + HiDPI, no watermark, plus editing tools like speed control, cropping, and text annotations.

Really. One payment, forever access. No monthly fees, no recurring charges. You buy the license once and you get all future updates for free. We believe in simple, fair pricing.

Yes! Your personal license is tied to your email and can be activated on up to 5 of your own devices. Just install the extension and enter the same license key on each computer.
