Gyazo review

Gyazo is a screen-capture tool built around quickly turning screenshots and recordings into shareable links. It captures still images, videos, and moments from videos or meetings, uploads them, and syncs captures to the cloud. Customizable hotkeys let users capture without opening the app first.

The library is more than a list of uploads: Gyazo can search captures by recognized text, app name, URL, description, and tags. Collections group captures under shareable URLs, and teams can collaborate on group collections. Basic editing covers adding arrows or text to images and trimming videos before sharing.

The free Gyazo plan costs $0, but access to images is limited to the 10 latest captures. Gyazo Pro costs $6.99 monthly or $5.99 per month with annual billing, according to the published pricing details. Teams costs $10 per user per month and requires at least five users. A 30-day free trial is listed.

Gyazo’s main advantage is the short path from capture to share: take a screenshot or recording, let it upload, and send the resulting link. That suits support tickets, feedback, tutorials, or any workflow where the recipient needs to see a specific screen moment rather than download an attachment. Custom hotkeys make repeated captures quicker, while cloud sync keeps captures available across the library.

Search and collections help when captures become hard to track. Gyazo can search by recognized text, app name, URL, description, and tags; collections give teams a way to group related captures and share them with a URL. Image annotations and video trimming also let users make a capture clearer before passing it along.

• The free plan allows unlimited screenshot capturing and uploading, plus unlimited HD video uploads and collections.
• Pro raises video recording to 10 minutes, replay recording to 30 seconds, and provides unlimited image access and collection creation and sharing.
• Teams includes the Pro-level recording limits and sharing features, with collaborative group collections.

Those are useful distinctions: Gyazo can remain a lightweight free capture tool, while paid plans remove the image-access cap and extend recording time.

The free plan’s limits matter if captures are part of an ongoing reference library. It allows unlimited screenshot uploads, but image access is only to the 10 latest captures. Video recording and replay recording are each capped at 7 seconds. Pro removes the image-access cap and allows 10-minute video recordings and 30-second replays, but costs $6.99 monthly or $5.99 per month billed yearly. Teams is $10 per user per month, monthly only, with a five-user minimum; annual pricing is not published.

There are also user-reported concerns worth weighing. In one r/runescape thread, commenters said Gyazo links were failing to load or caused trouble on Reddit. That is anecdotal, not evidence that links generally fail. A separate r/cybersecurity thread discussed a reported Gyazo breach; one commenter said the compromised data involved images uploaded before January 2019. The Reddit threads we read does not establish the full incident details, but it shows why teams should consider what they upload to a cloud capture library. If you mainly need screenshots and do not need Gyazo’s searchable library or collections, its paid plans may be more than you need.

Gyazo has a free plan, but it limits image access to your 10 latest captures and recording to 7 seconds. The plan lists unlimited screenshot capturing and uploading, plus unlimited HD video uploads and collections; upload limits do not remove the recording-length cap.

Gyazo Pro costs $6.99 monthly, or $5.99 per month billed yearly. That is the first paid tier and raises video and replay recording limits to 10 minutes and 30 seconds, respectively, while adding unlimited image access and collection creation and sharing. The yearly price is a monthly equivalent; the actual annual charge is not published on the vendor's site.

Teams costs $10 per user per month, with a five-user minimum, so the listed minimum is $50 monthly. It includes the Pro capture limits and collection features. Teams is monthly only; annual billing is not published. No add-ons are listed. A 30-day free trial is listed, but its eligibility and renewal terms are not specified here.

Switching to Gyazo means adopting its capture-and-link workflow: captures sync to the cloud, and collections can be shared by URL. Before moving, check whether you need to preserve existing capture links or bring an archive with you. The published material does not publish a bulk import, export, or migration process, so confirm those options with Gyazo before relying on it as a long-term archive.

If you leave, the same unknown applies in reverse: export formats, bulk download options, and whether shared links remain available after cancellation are not specified on the vendor's site. That matters if teammates or clients depend on old links.

We also can’t substantiate a Reddit-driven reason people leave: no Reddit posts or comments were included in the published material. The concrete reasons to weigh are the free plan’s 10-image access window and 7-second recording cap, plus Teams’ five-user minimum. Test your workflow against those limits before moving a team.
