Gyazo
The fastest way to capture, save, find, and share what's on your screen
About Gyazo
Gyazo is a screenshot and short screen-recording tool that uploads every capture to the cloud the moment you take it and copies a shareable link to your clipboard. Captures are searchable by OCR text, app name, URL, tags, and notes, and can be grouped into shareable collections. It runs on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and as browser extensions, with a Teams plan for private, SSO-backed sharing inside a company.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- One hotkey captures, uploads, and copies a link, so sharing a screenshot takes seconds
- Pro is inexpensive at $5.99/month billed yearly compared with most screen-recording tools
- OCR and metadata search make an old screenshot library actually findable
- Cross-platform coverage: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chrome, Firefox, and Edge extensions
- Links auto-expand as previews in Slack, chat apps, and social media
- Replay recording on Windows captures something that already happened on screen
Cons
- The free plan only lets you view your 10 most recent images and caps video at 7 seconds
- In September 2026 an attacker accessed Gyazo's backend database, exposing about 23.6 million user records and metadata for roughly 490 million images; the company could not rule out that some private images were viewed
- Video tops out at 10 minutes, so it is not a replacement for long-form recorders like Loom
- Teams requires at least 5 seats and is billed monthly only
- Captures default to cloud upload, which some companies will not allow for sensitive screens
