Gyazo is an open-source [3] and free screenshot program for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The program allows users to create screenshots and upload them to the web, producing a unique URL to the screenshot. [4] The program's name "Gyazo" is a pun on the Japanese word for "image" (画像, gazō).
A version of the software was added to Google Chrome, Firefox and Edge as a browser extension, with the latter two being under the company names of "NotaInc" and "Nota Inc." respectively. [5] [6] [7] Mobile app versions were released on Android and Apple under the company name of "Helpfeel Inc.". [8] [9]
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. [10] 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. [11]
Gyazo also allows users to upload any image by dragging the image to the Gyazo icon. [10] As of May 15, 2015, version 2.4 added support for uploading an image without opening a new tab in your web browser. [12]
Gyazo uploads every screenshot to their servers, basically allowing free cloud storage, which Gyazo says can be used indefinitely. [13]
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, [14] Ivy Search works the same way that you recall things in your brain.
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, [14] and see no advertisements. [15]
