![]() I know you should think twice before putting animated GIFs on your webpage (because they tend to be huge), but I sometimes make that sin too.d It can be to document some bug I found, show my colleagues at Sanity.io something cool, a clever tweet, or useful visual context when I’m helping other people out some project.

It does a lot more than LICEcap, and is even written in the world-eating JavaScript programming language. In fact, I used it to screen capture how LICEcap works. Using LICEcap to record some interesting free coding.īut the reason I’m always reaching for LICEcap when I need those moving pixels captured is that it records directly to the file. Being able to quickly do the screen capture and have the GIF ready for sharing in the instant you stop the recording is really convenient. LICEcap is an intuitive but flexible application (for Windows and now OSX), that is designed to be lightweight and function with high performance. Turns out, convenience trumps feature lists. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but enough in most cases. ICEcap doesn’t have a bunch of options and settings. If I need more, that usually means that I should do the recording with something like ScreenFlow instead. I actually thought my days with LICEcap were over, but writing this post made me discover that a 64-bit version has been out since February 2018, so shame on me.ĭoing some minimal amounts of research for this post, I also discovered that LICEcap’s developer is Justin Frankel of Winamp fame.
