Features

Screenshots and Animated GIFs

Gyazo has a minimal user interface consisting of a small set of options available by right clicking the taskbar icon. Launching the application displays a crosshair cursor with which the user selects the area to be uploaded. Gyazo uploads the image to their servers, and then opens a browser pointing to the unique URL for the image, which can then be shared publicly.[5] With the release of version 2.0 Gyazo also includes the ability to select a portion of the screen for GIF capture and allows users to create animated GIF or MP4 video for up to ten seconds.[6]

Image uploading

Gyazo also allows users to upload any image by dragging the image to the Gyazo icon.[5] As of May 15, 2015, version 2.4 added support for uploading an image without opening a new tab in your web browser.[7]

Cloud storage

Gyazo uploads every screenshot to their servers, basically allowing free cloud storage, which Gyazo says can be used indefinitely.[8]

Ivy Search is a feature of Gyazo that lets Ninja users (for the time being) find an image from a vague idea with related images. According to Gyazo's blog,[9] Ivy Search works the same way that you recall things in your brain.

Premium Accounts (Ninja)

Users can upgrade their free account to Premium for a monthly subscription fee. Premium users have access to unlimited storage and uploading, the ability to draw arrows on images, the ability to use Ivy Search as of version 3.0,[9] and see no advertisements.[10]

gollark: Oh. Markov chains. Denied.
