About GIPHY Capture

GIPHY Capture is a macOS app for making animated GIFs from whatever is on your screen. You record a portion of the screen and the app turns the recording into a GIF.

It is free and aimed at people who want a quick way to make a short GIF of an app, a clip or a bug without learning a video editor. GIPHY's own page gives little further detail about its features.
