In this article, I’m going to introduce the screenshot tool Gyazo, which allows you to take screenshots in a hassle-free manner when you need them.
What Is Gyazo?
Gyazo is a screenshot tool. You can use it when you want to save images and GIFs as screenshots. Since the images are stored in the cloud, you don’t have to go through the hassle of saving and searching for them on your PC. Especially, the following needs can be met by those who often use screen shots.
- You want to synchronize with any device to use multiple devices.
- Because I use multiple browsers, I want to be able to synchronize with any browser.
- I want to share with you in ways other than pasting images.
- I’d like to label them as they are used in various projects
Gyazo’s pricing structure
Gyazo can be used for free without registering for an account. However, we do recommend registering a Gyazo account as it offers a number of advantages, including cross-device synchronization.

Gyazo has three plans. The free plan also allows you to do almost everything, including squeezing and shooting short GIF videos. However, we recommend the Gyazo Pro plan if you want to manage a large amount of screenshots, as access to the most recent images is limited to 10 images, so we recommend the Gyazo Pro plan if you want to manage a large amount of screenshots.
