The Most Powerful Cloud Based GIF Maker App

GIFs have rightfully earned their place as the fastest way to communicate lots of information in one visual punch, and is one of the primary reasons teams choose to create GIFs to communicate both with customers and internally. The purpose of a GIF creator app is save time and skip the lengthy explanation or meeting, so it’s important that the application doesn’t take more time to create than the benefit of using one in the first place. And this is why we created CloudApp. With our GIF recorder, anyone can save time and skip the lengthy explanation or meeting. Teams can create GIFs of anything on a screen and instantly save them to the cloud, in an easy-to-use enterprise-level app. Just capture, share and accelerate your workflow.

Easy GIF App Download

CloudApp offers an easy solution to help your team create GIFs that are effortless and quick to execute amongst team members and customers. Simply click on the CloudApp icon and select the GIF icon (or the TV icon) depending on how long you’d like your GIF to be and the quality you prefer. You can also use the hotkey combination for Mac: Cmd+Shift+6, Windows: Alt+Shift+6. Recordings under 30 seconds long make perfect GIFs, while recordings over 30 seconds long are better recorded with HD video.
