Francois Courtin · Answer

Giphy is probably the best. It's fast, intuitive and takes most standard formats as accepted sources. 
The only downsides imho are: 
- yours GIFs can only be public
- low image quality (but pretty common for GIF)

I asked the team at @intercom what they used and they recommended LICEcap. It's easily the ugliest logo of any piece of software I use but man is it a great product. I use it every day.
