Gyazo is a screen capturing application with which you can quickly take quality shots of your screen and also create GIFs on the fly with a simple click.
It is as simple to use as another screen capture tool we wrote on earlier, Peek, but Gyazo seems to have an edge in terms of functionality, customizability, and extension; at least, for now.
Gyazo has a uniquely beautiful and yet, simplistic UI, with intuitive controls. With Gyazo activated, click once and hold to select the screen area you want to capture and release when you’re done.
You can share the screen shot immediately after taking it, because Gyazo creates a link to your new screenshot and copies it to your clipboard. All you will need to share your new screen shot is to paste it into wherever you want to share it.
A link to the new image page is copied to your clipboard. By pasting this link you can share anything on screen right away. This feature makes it possible for you to use Gyazo to share anything on your screen to virtually anywhere. And all it takes is a click.
Gyazo’s features don’t end there. Because your saved images are automatically saved and organized for you using an automatic tagging system, you can always search for them using their app name, web address, save date, or file name!
If you’re ever short on ideas to use for wherever projects of yours, you can always head over to the app’s inspiration section to see screen saves made by other Gyazo users.
