Renee Gifer

Note: The application is discontinued so it will not receive any further updates. It also cannot be purchased anymore. However, you can still download and use the free demo from this page.

Renee Gifer is an intuitive graphic capturing program that enables you to easily create animated GIFs based on desktop activity. You can grab your video basis from a multitude of sources, such as video file, a website or simply the mouse movements. Renee Gifer can easily record any activity within the frame and save it as GIF.

Renee Gifer does not record videos but can capture a large series of frames at a millisecond distance from the previous one. Thus, when you play the sequence at a proper speed, it resembles live action or a time lapse. The software specializes in saving the output as GIF animation and allows you to make several changes before the finish.

The software opens as an empty frame, in order to allow perfect visibility of the object under it. You may resize or relocate this frame anywhere on your desktop in order to fit the area you wish to capture, then simply start the recording. The software captures any activity, within its window’s edges. You may modify the recording speed, by selecting a value between 1 and 30 frames per second.

Once you have finished recording the desktop activity, you may proceed to editing the picture sequence. You can easily insert other images, from local files and place them between any two frames. Existing frames can be deleted or flipped horizontally. You may preview the sequence at normal or enhanced speed, as well as in slow motion.

You may also add text to the frames: type in the message, edit the font, change color, shadow or outlines, then define its start and ending points. You may also specify its position in the frame, by the X and Y axes.

Not only can you create impressive animated GIF images with Renee Gifer, but you may also modify existing files. You can load the animated GIF from a local folder, then edit the image sequence, add text and change the speed of the rendering. All output GIFs play endlessly, in a loop.
