Chrome extension · Manifest V3
Drag a box around a loading spinner, a hover animation, or a bug you need to show a teammate. CrewGIF records it and hands you an optimized animated GIF you can paste straight into Slack, GitHub, or Jira.
No account. No tracking. Nothing leaves your computer.
Illustration of the selection overlay and recording pill.
Drag-select exactly the area you care about, or capture the entire viewport in one click.
Long enough for a real interaction. Stop early any time from the popup, the on-page pill, or a keyboard shortcut.
One global color palette plus inter-frame differencing, so only the pixels that actually changed get stored.
Copy the GIF straight to your clipboard and paste it into a chat or issue, or save it to your Downloads folder.
Stop recording with Alt + Shift + S — remappable in Chrome.
Zero network requests. No analytics, no accounts, and no permission to read any website's data.
Adjustable frame rate (8–15 fps) and output width (480–1600 px).
Pick your frame rate and output width. Your choices are remembered for next time.
Record region to drag a selection, or Record full tab to capture the whole viewport.
Use the Stop button, the on-page pill, or the keyboard shortcut. Recording also ends on its own at 25 seconds. A dotted border shows exactly what's being captured — and it never appears in the GIF.
Preview the result right in the popup, then save it, copy it, or throw it away and record again.
CrewGIF has no servers, so there is nowhere for your data to go. The extension makes no network requests at all — no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no remote code.
Bug reports, feature ideas, and general notes are all welcome.
