Giphy capture is a super easy and fun way to create gifs from screen recordings on Mac. You can change the quality and size and now you can also annotate with text.

Answer

Annotate, store all your screengrabs in the cloud, instant URLs to your clipboard, easy downloads, I mean, it's the perfect solution. Also, epic recording features for GIFs and videos.

Sven Ellingen · Answer

Just sits there in your menu bar, records video and GIF and puts the share URL to your clipboard when you’re done recording.

The newest version of Brewery includes native Mac capturing but also converts video files. Many great options/features to create that cool demo gif.

Simple. Beautiful. Powerful. Advanced recording and compression options. Integrating sharing, drag and drop, copy and paste. Customisable shortcuts. One of a few fully native apps built specifically for macOS for extra shine and performance.

The main website looks sketchy. The app icon looks sketchy. Even the app itself looks sketchy. But I use it all the time to get quick and dirty GIFs where the content matters more than the quality. Great for recording bugs and adding the GIF to the bug card. 👍 Plus — it's cross platform.

Edit: Now looking at your ask for a high-quality screen recorder to GIF app, this is exactly not what you're looking for (but it could be up other people's alley!)
