This policy is the publishing rule for Gif Maker notes. Sentences never type a frozen dotted ScreenToGif version. The current release tag on the stamp is injected from GitHub when notes build. Publisher details sit on about.

| Signing | No invented Authenticode claim. Fetch GitHub, winget, Store, or Chocolatey as the README names them |
What verified means
A note is verified when a person has compared the Windows winget id, package manifest, and asset patterns with the sources in the table on the review date, then set last verified to that date. The date is 2026-09-02 for the current lock. Last verified is not a freshness badge for every GitHub star count. Stars, download counts, and the current tag come from gh.json at build. Prose that names a behavior (screen, webcam, sketchboard, export to gif or apng) has to match the README on that same date.
Windows is the mapped install path. Release assets are Windows MSI, zip, and MSIX. Wiki installation parameters are MSI switches such as INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT and INSTALLSHORTCUT. The documented msiexec pattern uses ScreenToGif.*.Setup.msi.
Sources, in order
- The NickeManarin/ScreenToGif README, LICENSE.txt, and wiki.
- GitHub Releases and the GitHub API latest release, read into
gh.jsonat build. - microsoft/winget-pkgs installer and locale yaml for
NickeManarin.ScreenToGif, including PackageUrl, License MS-PL, Publisher Nicke Manarin, and WiX machine-scope MSI URLs. - Microsoft App Installer documentation for winget on Windows 10 1809 or later and Windows 11, plus the .NET 9 Desktop Runtime page the README links.
- Competitor vendors' own pages when a compare note quotes a product shape: EZGIF at ezgif.com, ShareX on GitHub, LICEcap at cockos.com.
Other review roundups are not sources. winstall.app lists the same winget id. Notes still treat microsoft/winget-pkgs as the identifier source, because the README does not print a winget line.
How the winget command is checked
The public command uses the winget-pkgs PackageIdentifier:
winget install -e --id NickeManarin.ScreenToGifOn 2026-09-02 that id was compared with the installer yaml under manifests/n/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif and with the raw README. The README points at GitHub Releases, Microsoft Store, and Chocolatey instead of printing this line. Notes still paste the winget-pkgs id for Windows. If App Installer is missing, the Microsoft Store listing for App Installer is the next official hop, then the same command again.

Release tags at build
File names, sizes, and the current tag are read from GitHub before a build. The stamp prints that tag. Body copy says "the current release" so a new tag does not leave a stale dotted number in a paragraph. Default take is the full x64 setup MSI. Light setup, portable zip, light portable, and MSIX stay on the same tag for readers who want those shapes. A safe-fetch walk sits on download a gif maker safely. The release chooser sits on gif maker releases. Repo layout and LICENSE.txt sit on gif maker GitHub.
How comparisons stay fair
Compare notes use the other vendor's own page, with an "about" hedge on any price. EZGIF is a browser encoder at ezgif.com. ShareX is an open-source Windows capture tool. LICEcap is a Windows GIF capture program from Cockos. Notes skip inventing a rank. The README does not document an importer from a browser encoder, so a move off a web encoder is: download the gif you already made, then record new clips in ScreenToGif. See gif maker vs EZGIF and move off web encoders.
Drafting and review
Drafting tools may help shape a sentence. They are not a source. A command, package id, path, or price has to match README, winget-pkgs, GitHub, or the named vendor page on the review date. Last verified moves only after that check. Webcam, FFmpeg, resize, and convert jobs stay on the guide set under gif maker guides. Corrections: four facts on contact. Product bugs go to GitHub Issues for the repo. Ads stay off, as the advertising disclosure and privacy notes already say, so a compare table cannot be paid placement.
