• Instant GIF Creation: Save gameplay highlights as GIFs with a simple key press.
• Configurable Hotkeys: Easily set your preferred key combinations.

Usage

• Press 7 8 9 to capture a GIF.
• Press Num 7 Num 8 Num 9 to capture raw footage.

If the file is missing, it will be created with default values.
