Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording, and turn on Gif4Mac. macOS may ask you to relaunch the app afterwards. This permission is only used to capture your screen locally — nothing is ever transmitted.

Every export is saved to ~/Documents/Gif4Mac. Your most recent GIFs are also available in the menu-bar popover library.

A recording can last up to 60 seconds. Recording stops automatically when the limit is reached.

Open the Settings window from the gear icon in the popover. You can pick the capture frame rate (10, 15, 20 or 30 fps) and the export size (100% or 50%).

After recording, you can add text (press ⌥⏎ for a new line in multi-line text), arrows, and blur areas. Each annotation has its own time range, so it only appears during the part of the GIF you choose.

Use “Copy GIF” from the popover library, then paste it directly into Slack, an email, a pull request, or any app that accepts images.

When you start a capture, simply click on the display you want to record. Gif4Mac supports multiple displays, including Retina screens.

Email support@gif4mac.bdzapps.com with your macOS version and the steps to reproduce the issue. A GIF of the bug (made with Gif4Mac, of course) helps a lot.
