Use case
Bug report GIFs that make the repro obvious
“It doesn’t work” becomes a five-second loop of exactly what happened. Record it, blur what shouldn’t be shared, and paste it in the ticket.

How to · 3 steps
Step by step
- 1
Record the repro
Start just before the steps that trigger it and stop just after.
- 2
Redact and mark it
Blur tokens and customer data, box the broken element, and slow the moment down.
- 3
Export and attach
The GitHub preset fits 10 MB, which also suits Jira, Linear and Slack.
Show the steps, not just the error
Include the two or three actions before the failure; that’s what makes it reproducible. Keep it under about 15 seconds, and add a caption like “clicks Save → spinner never stops” so the start is clear on loop.
Catch fast glitches
Split around a flicker or layout jump, slow it to 0.5× and box the element. Export at 15 fps or more so it isn’t lost between frames. For long repros an engineer will scrub through, export MP4.
