• ScreenToGif

  152 22,881 7.6 C#

  🎬 ScreenToGif allows you to record a selected area of your screen, edit and save it as a gif or video.

Project mention: Gifski: Optimized GIF Encoder with Libimagequant | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-21

While on the subject of gifs, I'd like to recommend ScreenToGif. As the name suggests it supports screen recording, but the editor is nice for other gifs as well. It's easy to remove duplicate frames, change timing for all or some frames, etc. It can use ffmpeg and gifski for the gif encoding.

Also, I just learnt this, gifski has integrated gifsicle for lossy gif compression.

WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important.
