ShareX Recording Sound: The Ultimate Alternative to GIFs

When it comes to sharing quick screen captures, GIFs are often the go-to option. However, they can be large and unwieldy, making them inconvenient to share. This is where ShareX comes in – a powerful tool that's designed to replace GIFs and make sharing easy.

With ShareX, you can select Gfycat as your file uploader and enable Copy URL to clipboard in After upload tasks. This means you can quickly capture a portion of your screen, custom region, window, or entire screen and share it instantly.

One of the key benefits of using ShareX is its ability to produce decent file sizes. For example, a 15-second gameplay clip comes out at around 7MB – much smaller than GIFs. Additionally, ShareX automatically scales down captures if needed, making it easy to share even large files.

I've been using ShareX to quickly capture short clips from higher bitrate recordings and I'm impressed with the results. The file sizes are significantly smaller than GIFs, making them easier to share and upload.

If you're used to using Gyazo for your screen captures, you'll be happy to know that ShareX can do everything Gyazo does – and more. With ShareX, you can select a region of the screen to capture, record a short video or GIF, and then have the link ready on your clipboard.

One thing to keep in mind when using ShareX is that if you capture your entire screen, it may be scaled down significantly. However, capturing a smaller region will not result in scaling issues. Another advantage of ShareX over Gyazo is its ability to produce much smaller files than GIFs.

Overall, I've found ShareX to be an excellent alternative to GIFs for sharing quick screen captures. With its ease of use and customization options, it's a tool that's definitely worth checking out.
