I don’t need to tell you how GIFs are taking over the social web, and why there is a really good reason behind this, right? They simply are one of the most engaging media you can share.

And like me, you probably often go to GIPHY to find a good one to share. But what if you could make your own, and in just a matter of seconds?

To start, head over to the app page, or download from the Apple store. Then click the app, drag the resizable window to the area you want to capture, and start recording!

Once you have captured what you wanted, you can also edit your GIF. You can trim it, choose from different looping options (loop, reverse, pingpong), resize it, and even add captions.

Once you’re happy with your creation, you can upload your GIF to GIPHY directly from within the app, or email it to yourself or anyone else.

GIPHY Capture is a great new way to produce your own GIFs from your Mac’s desktop. There is no similar app for Windows PCs at this time, but you can always try out the web-based tool instead.
