Microsoft’s Snipping Tool Gains GIF Export: Share Your Screen Shenanigans in 30 Seconds!
Microsoft’s Snipping Tool now lets Windows 11 Insiders export recordings as animated GIFs. Channel your inner Spielberg, but keep it snappy—videos over 30 seconds get trimmed. Just hit Win + Shift + R to start. Choose GIF quality, then share your mini-masterpiece. It’s productivity with a dash of pizzazz!
Hot Take:
Microsoft is turning the Snipping Tool into the Swiss Army knife of screen recording, and frankly, it’s about time! Now, the only thing left is for it to brew us coffee while we make GIFs of our cats doing ridiculous things. Move over, Photoshop, there’s a new tool in town, and it’s got GIFs on the menu.
