With ScreenToGif you can create GIF animations. The application works like this: first up, it will record whatever is displayed on your screen; then it will process and present all the frames it captures so you can remove the ones you don’t like; and then it will save everything as a GIF animation.

You will not have to install ScreenToGif on your PC. To get started with the application, you need only download a small archive (less than 1MB in size), extract its contents, and then run the ScreenToGif executable.

You can resize the ScreenToGif interface as you see fit. The main panel is like a camera lens – whatever you see underneath it, will be recorded. Buttons to start and stop the recording process are presented down in the lower right hand side of the interface. It must be mentioned that you can also start/pause and stop the recording process by using hotkeys. The defaults are F7 to start/pause the recording and F8 to stop the recording. From the settings menu you can change these defaults to something else.

Using ScreenToGif is a three- step process:
Step 1 – arrange the interface so it captures the part of the screen you want to be captured. Then launch the recording process.
Step 2 – stop the recording process and review all the frames the application captured. At this point, you can remove any frames you don’t like.
Step 3 – save the GIF animation to the location of your choosing.

ScreenToGif is free software.

Record the screen, review the frames, and then save it all as a GIF animation. That is, in a nutshell, the great functionality you get for free from ScreenToGif.

Pros

ScreenToGif does not have to be installed; this means the application is portable. The interface is very simple. You can use hotkeys to launch/pause and stop the recording process. You can review and remove any frame you want. Save the recording to a GIF animation. ScreenToGif is free software.

Cons

None that I could think of.
