Best for capturing and sharing a screenshot by link
Gyazo captures a screenshot, video or GIF and copies a share link in one step. But the free plan shows only your 10 latest images and cuts video at 7 seconds, Pro is $6.99 a month, and the site carries a notice about a data breach.
Who Gyazo is for
- Fits if you send screenshots as links all day and can live with 10 visible images
- Works for short clips and GIFs under 7 seconds
Who Gyazo is not for
- Tight if you want to see more than your 10 latest captures without paying
- Pricey if you pay monthly: Pro is $6.99 a month
- Watch out: the pricing page showed no amounts when we read it, so $6.99 comes from the iOS App Store
- Watch out: the site carries a notice about a data breach caused by unauthorized access
- Not for you if you want to record longer videos for free, as free video stops at 7 seconds
Why Gyazo gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyGyazo Pro is $6.99 a month as listed on the iOS App Store, roughly twice this category's typical monthly price, and the useful limits are lifted only there.
- CFree plan and trialUnlimited capturing and uploading are free, but only the 10 latest images are reachable and video stops at 7 seconds.
- BFeaturesCapture, share by link, collections, tags, OCR search and editing on Pro. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job, though several parts need Pro.
- BEase of usePress a hotkey and get a link, with nothing to set up. No store rating is on record.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWindows, Mac, iPhone, Android and browser extensions, with a small integrations list (Obsidian and n8n).

Keep Gyazo, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Gyazo you could make: web clipper. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 118 of the 186 other desktop utilities grade higher. It costs $83.88 a year.
What you could make
- Web clipper: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Gyazo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
