Welcome to the user guide of ScreenToGif!
This guide applies to versions 2.3 (still not released) or above.
First, you need to understand the purpose of ScreenToGif:
This free tool was (and still is) mainly projected to work as a quick and small screen recorder. If you plan to record hours of fullscreen content, I recommend switching to a more advanced software.
ScreenToGif allows you to record part of your screen with the Screen Recorder, also there's the Webcam Recorder and the Board Recorder.
The screen recorder is composed of a hollow window with the main controls on the bottom. From the left to the right:
- Snap to Window: Click, drag and drop on top of a window to automatically resize and move ScreenToGif to fit.
- Options: It opens the Options window.
- FPS: The maximum fps of the recording. A range value from 1 to 60 fps. A value of 15 fps means a duration of 66ms for each captured frame.
- Width and Height: The size of the recording rectangle. You can resize to fit your needs by typing new values or by dragging the corners of the window.
- Discard (currently hidden) : When the recording is paused, this button will appear. As the text says, it will discard the current recording.
- Record: Uh... It starts the recording?
- Stop: If there's an active (or paused) recording, clicking this button will open the Editor window with your recording loaded.
To resize the window, you can drag the borders to all sides, increasing or decreasing the size of the recording.
