How to Create a GIF Using Screen Capture in ChromeOS

A GIF is a popular image format that lets users loop multiple images or frames continuously. GIFs are commonly used to convey a user's emotion or reaction to a text or social media post. Platforms like GIPHY and Tenor allow users to search through an ever-expanding library of GIFs that they can download and embed wherever they see fit. However, if you can't find the right GIF or want to show a process through a series of photos, ChromeOS allows you to create a GIF directly through the screen capture tool.
