I use this app called “snipping tool” but it only takes pictures. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/4/42a6440242b0e9cad47a1fe1169169cc7fda8f8c.png) ---

YES! SNIPPING TOOL IS THE BEST! BTW, you know you can press `Win + Shift + S` to activate the snipper? ---

Here’s the programs I typically use to make screen recording gifs: > [@Pizzas, Pirates & Ninjas](https://forum.makecode.com/t/pizzas-pirates-ninjas/327/7): > > I use [gifox](https://gifox.io/) on my mac, as it was the easiest to use one I could find when I started needing to make gifs to respond to students on my class forum, but [screentogif](https://www.screentogif.com/) is what I’ve heard is good for windows. If I need to edit a gif (compress, shorten, etc) I just use [ezgif.com](http://ezgif.com), as it does a good job at most things and the compression algorithm (gifsicle) it implements is real nice / one I used on the command line before I found the site. ---

Screentogif does not seem to support recording a gif at a frame rate greater than 1FPS anymore ☹ ---

Weird, I’m primarily using a windows pc at the moment and it’s working fine for me ☹ might be a settings issue? It has the target fps as an option in the bottom right corner for me / changes properly when that setting is changed. ---
