Windows 11 will be equipped with a function for quickly and easily creating GIF images. It is integrated into the Screenshot tool, which is definitely getting more and more features.
The Windows Screenshot tool has received many features over the past few years, making it a truly useful, comprehensive, and intuitive program for quickly performing simple tasks. For example, it can capture on screen video, or extract text from an image so you can paste it into a document instead of copying it by hand. Microsoft isn't done with it yet, as it's about to receive a new option.
The Phantom of Earth account, always very responsive when it comes to sharing new features coming to Windows, has published a demonstration video of an upcoming GIF creation feature, directly integrated into the Screenshot tool. It uses its video capture to record the image, then converts it into a GIF. It is possible to create the GIF from all the content displayed on the screen, or simply for a specific defined area. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+G allows you to invoke it quickly, not to be confused with Windows+G, which opens the Game Bar interface.
Windows 11 Screenshot goes GIF
A new GIF button appears at the top right of the window. When clicked, the user can choose between low quality and high quality. For each option, the image definition, refresh rate, and export time are specified. The experience seems fluid, and this feature should quickly become a preferred way to create a GIF from your screen on Windows 11. There are many third-party alternatives, but having such a native possibility is a real asset for Microsoft's OS.

For now, Microsoft has not communicated about GIF creation in the Windows 11 Screenshot tool. But if the option is available and seems perfectly functional on an Insider version, it should not be long before we see it arrive for everyone on a stable version of Windows 11.
