This disclosure is for Gif Maker notes. File links go to GitHub Releases. Installers stay on that GitHub account. Publisher details sit on about. Analytics and cookies sit on privacy.
Ads are currently off
No display network script ships. Ad IDs stay empty. Guides under gif maker guides are not for sale. The winget command is the official package id from winget-pkgs, not a paid placement:
winget install -e --id NickeManarin.ScreenToGifBecause ads are off, contact has no advertising enquiry channel. Skip a media kit expecting a slot. Privacy for the lack of ad cookies is on privacy. The compare with EZGIF is a same-job note, not a paid rank: gif maker vs EZGIF.
No fake download button
A fake download button is an ad or a wrapper dressed as the installer. These notes ship none. The Windows x64 setup matches ScreenToGif.*.Setup.x64.msi on the current GitHub release. The portable zip matches ScreenToGif.*.Portable.x64.zip. Light setup, light portable, and MSIX sit on the same tag. Softonic, CNET, and unofficial sites that wrap the name are the pattern to walk past. Fetch notes: download a gif maker safely. Asset chooser: gif maker releases. Repo: gif maker GitHub.
Home and the Windows install note repeat the same official command and the same GitHub account. See home and gif maker install. Winget still leaves the bits on Microsoft's package source and on GitHub. A second big control outside those two paths would be the fake download this disclosure forbids.
If ads are enabled later
If a display network is approved later, this disclosure will be updated before the script ships. The rules below are the ceiling, not a menu of extras.
- Display ads only. Standard labeled units. No native advertorial that looks like a guide.
- No affiliate links. No cut on GitHub, winget, the Microsoft Store listing, Chocolatey, EZGIF, ShareX, or LICEcap.
- No sponsored content. A compare note cannot be paid to prefer ScreenToGif or to prefer EZGIF, ShareX, or LICEcap.
- No vendor payment. Payment from Nicke Manarin for a command, a rank, or a filename is absent. Payment from competitors is absent too.
Placement limits if ads go on: units stay out of the install command and out of the space between the heading and the winget line. Units stay off the GitHub file link under the command. A labeled unit may sit after the install notes, never as a second exe file. The disclosure here will name the network when one exists. Until it names one, treat ads as off.
Who pays for placement
Nobody, today. ScreenToGif is free under MS-PL. There is no paid tier in the README. README lists PayPal, Patreon, and Ko-fi donations for the project. Those donation links are the author's, not a commission. EZGIF, ShareX, and LICEcap are described from their own pages when a fact is quoted. None of those links are affiliate. How those facts are checked: editorial policy.
First-run on Windows, setup versus portable, and a move off a web encoder are unpaid howtos: gif maker for this computer, portable or setup, move off web encoders.
Where the install command lives
The command is a winget-pkgs fact, verified against that tree and the README on 2026-09-02. It is the same string on home and on the Windows install note. Changing it for a sponsor would be a factual error. Report that kind of drift with four facts on contact. Product bugs still go to GitHub Issues. The current release tag on the stamp is injected from GitHub at build, so a paid latest-version badge never has a place to sit.
