## Key features

- **Capture and share by link:** Captures upload as they are taken and a link is copied, with previews that expand when pasted into chat.
- **Screenshot, video and replay:** Capture an area, record video or GIFs, or use Replay for full-screen clips; Replay is Windows only.
- **Collections and tags:** Group captures by theme into collections that each have a shareable URL, and tag them to find them later.
- **Search with OCR:** Pro recognizes text inside captures and searches by app name, page, date and file name.
- **Editing tools:** Annotate images with arrows and text and trim videos; background removal is capped at 10 images a month.
- **Apps and extensions:** Free apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

## Good for

- Quick screenshots and short clips shared by link in chat or tickets
- Collecting visual references into shareable collections
- Teams that want private team-only sharing and one bill

## Worth knowing

- The free plan shows only your 10 latest images and limits video to 7 seconds.
- The pricing page did not display amounts when we read it; the $6.99 is from the iOS App Store listing.
- Gyazo Teams has a 5-user minimum, monthly billing only and a 30-day free trial.
- The site carries a notice about a data breach caused by unauthorized access to Gyazo.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: D.** Gyazo 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Unlimited capturing and uploading are free, but only the 10 latest images are reachable and video stops at 7 seconds.
- **Features: B.** Capture, 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.
- **Ease of use: B.** Press a hotkey and get a link, with nothing to set up. No store rating is on record.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android and browser extensions, with a small integrations list (Obsidian and n8n).

These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Gyazo's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

## Where it stands among desktop utilities

- Gyazo's GPA of 2.4 is higher than 35 of the 186 other desktop utilities we grade, and level with 33.
- It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 172 of 186) and worst on value for money (D, above 0).
- Its paid plans start at $6.99 a month, against a middle price of $2.99 for the category: 31 of the 36 others that charge start lower.
- On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 3.0 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Web clipper: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- You could not: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- You could not: Storing and serving files for other people.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
