使用这些GIF屏幕录制工具将屏幕录制为GIF

- ScreenToGif

1] ScreenToGif
ScreenToGif是此列表中最好的工具之一。这个开源软件还可以记录打开的窗口/应用程序。最好的功能是您可以在将录制的 GIF 保存(edit recorded GIF before saving)到 PC 之前对其进行编辑。它集成了编辑器(Editor)，可让您从录制文件中删除或复制帧，删除重复的帧(remove duplicate frames)，将文本添加(add text)到作为水印的录制文件中的特定位置，在录制过程中插入按键，旋转或翻转帧，添加阴影，边框，图片水印(image watermark)等。您甚至可以播放或预览录音以检查编辑是否按预期完成，然后保存最终录音。
在其主界面上，使用Recorder按钮，然后选择要录制的桌面区域。或者，您也可以选择特定的窗口进行录制。在开始录制之前，它还可以让您调整FPS（每秒帧数）。您可以使用热键播放/暂停和停止屏幕录制。
录制完成后，其编辑器(Editor)窗口会自动打开，您可以在其中预览录制内容并执行必要的编辑。最后，您可以使用“文件(File)”菜单，然后按“另存为(Save As)”按钮将录音保存为动画GIF。
您还可以享受此软件提供的其他工具和选项。例如，您可以使用它的网络摄像头录像机(webcam recorder)、白板(whiteboard)以及录像、在录像中显示/隐藏鼠标光标等功能。
2]捕捉
Captura不仅限于将屏幕录制为GIF。它具有很多功能。您可以使用Captura录制特定窗口、区域或整个桌面屏幕。它还具有您可能喜欢的两个独特功能。
您可以在录制时在屏幕上绘图(draw on the screen)，也可以在录制之间截取屏幕截图。但这两个功能只有在您选择了桌面屏幕上的某个区域进行录制时才能使用。这些不适用于全屏或窗口模式。
它还允许您在屏幕录制中包含鼠标光标、鼠标点击和击键。(keystrokes)除此之外，您还可以使用它来录制网络摄像头(record webcam)、仅录制音频(record only audio)等。
下载(Download)Captura软件的便携版或安装版并启动其主界面。在那里，您可以使用包括/排除鼠标光标、设置输出文件夹、输出质量等选项。
选择视频源(Video source)（全屏、区域或窗口），然后单击视频编码器部分下的(Video Encoder)Gif选项作为输出格式。之后，您可以使用录制、暂停、恢复和停止按钮从录制中创建动画GIF 。
3] GifCam
GifCam有一些有趣的功能，使它成为一个有用的GIF屏幕录像软件。它允许您在屏幕录制中将文本添加到特定帧(add text to a particular frame)、显示/隐藏鼠标光标、删除帧或从选定帧删除帧到结束帧、更改每帧的延迟时间(delay time)等。
除此之外，它还有一个独特的功能，可以让您将录制更改为灰度或单色(change the recording to greyscale or monochrome)。你可以从这里(here)下载。
打开它的界面后，你可以调整它的大小来设置录制区域，然后使用可用的按钮。它提供了Rec/Stop按钮，Edit按钮来添加文本到框架，删除框架等，Frame按钮来改变延迟时间，以及Save按钮来存储最终的GIF。您还可以使用“保存(Save)”按钮旁边的下拉图标来更改录制颜色、预览输出等。
4]分享X
这可能会让你感到惊讶，因为ShareX是一款非常流行的截屏和编辑软件，但它也是录制屏幕的好选择。它可以让您在屏幕上录制视频文件以及动画 GIF(record the screen a video file as well as an animated GIF)。使用此软件进行屏幕录制需要FFmpeg 。它可以自动下载所需文件夹中的FFmpeg（如果还没有的话）。
安装此开源和多平台软件后，打开ShareX的主菜单。单击(Click)捕获(Capture)菜单，然后单击屏幕录制 (GIF)(Screen recording (GIF))选项。之后，您可以选择要录制的区域，它将立即开始录制。只有停止(Stop)和中止(Abort)按钮可供您相应使用。
该软件具有大量其他工具和选项，例如更改目标文件夹、捕获完整屏幕截图或特定区域、访问捕获历史记录、将捕获的屏幕截图上传到Imgur、Gfycat、更改热键以开始/停止动画录制等等。只需(Just)使用所有可用选项，此工具将为您提供很多帮助。
5]虱帽
当您启动此GIF屏幕录像机软件时，它将提供一个框架，您可以调整该框架以设置为录制区域。该框架还提供记录(Record)、暂停、停止和设置 FPS 按钮。
选择区域后，按“记录”(Record)按钮，打开“另存为(Save As)”窗口。在该窗口中，您可以设置输出文件夹和其他与录制相关的选项。例如，您可以启用标题框选项、添加标题文本和显示该标题文本的持续时间、显示鼠标点击、添加循环(number of loops)次数或GIF重复计数（设置为 0 表示无限循环）、GIF 透明度(GIF transparency)等. 根据要求使用选项，然后按保存(Save)按钮。
现在您将回到录制区域。随时移动(Move)区域，暂停/恢复录制，最后按下停止(Stop)按钮。您的录音将保存到您设置的文件夹中。
就这样。
在这里，我总结了这份清单。ScreenToGif具有大量功能，因此它绝对比其他工具更好。但是，其他工具也可以很好地将桌面屏幕记录为动画GIF 。

When you will launch this GIF screen recorder software, it will provide a frame that you can adjust to set as a recording area. That frame also provides Record, pause, stop, and set FPS buttons.
When the area is selected, press the Record button, and Save As window is opened. In that window, you can set the output folder and other options related to recording. For example, you can enable the title frame option, add title text, and time duration to display that title text, show mouse clicks, add the number of loops or GIF repeat count (set to 0 for infinite loops), GIF transparency, etc. Use options as per the requirement and press the Save button.
