ScreenToGif

It's a compact Windows tool that lets you record part of your screen and output an animated GIF or video. Think: tutorials, bug reports, UI mockups, or even just a quick "look what I found" moment.
The thing is, while there are a ton of screen recorders on the market, ScreenToGif stands out because it combines capturing and editing in one sleek package. No switching between apps. No bloated interfaces.
