Educators in particular should consider using GIPHY Capture to create instructional GIFs for students or colleagues. This tool can capture and record anything that comes across the screen. With GIPHY Capture, you're trading detailed editing and tons of features for simplicity, so this works best for those who value ease of use over creating the perfect GIF. The process of capturing GIFs across Giphy Capture is quite simple and basic. Once you've got that set up, just position the transparent window of GIPHY Capture over the the thing you're recording, click the red record button to start/stop the recording, and then apply some very basic changes (length, pixel size, text, etc.). This means to get started, you'll first need to find some animation on the internet or on your desktop that you want to convert into a GIF (for instance, a section of a YouTube video). GIPHY Capture uses screen recording to create GIFs, unlike some competitors that allow users to extract GIFs from uploaded videos or links to content.

Videos must be under 100MB and under 15 seconds long.

Choose Video to add a video from your files, choose Add Any URL to enter a YouTube or video URL or drag and drop a video file into the GIFMaker screen to get started. It's totally free, though, and shockingly easy to use, so it's a great option for students to make GIFs, or even for teachers. Just like uploading GIFs, you'll need to be signed into your GIPHY account to create GIFs.
