Gyazo: cost, fit and limits
Gyazo is a screenshot, GIF and short video capture service made by Helpfeel Inc. of Japan that uploads captures to shareable links and organizes them in collections, with AI-powered text extraction on its Pro plan.
What to know first
Gyazo has three plans: a free one, Pro and Teams. The free plan keeps only the latest 10 images and records video up to 7 seconds. Pro raises video to 10 minutes and lists AI-powered text extraction, and Teams is billed monthly per person for at least five users. The pricing page text shows no amounts for Pro or Teams. Apps cover Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

Who Gyazo is best for
People who share quick captures in chat
Uploads return links right away, and the free plan allows unlimited screenshot and HD video uploads, though only the latest 10 images remain visible.
Support staff who search old screenshots
Pro lists OCR text extraction and search by date, file name, page or app, so an older capture can be found by words that appeared in it.
Small teams with shared libraries
Teams adds a team subdomain, team-only sharing, multi-user management, one bill and optional Single Sign-On with Google Workspace. A team of five or more is the starting point for that plan.

What Gyazo does
- OCR and text search
- Pro extracts text from captures, described as AI-powered, and searches inside images so a screenshot can be found by a word it contained. Accuracy is the vendor's own claim, with no figures on the pages read.
- AI-generated alt text
- The pricing page mentions AI-generated alt text but does not assign it to a plan, so confirm where it applies before counting on it. No language or quality details are given either, and the text was not tied to Pro or Teams on the page.
- Cross-platform apps
- Apps exist for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge, which suits mixed-device teams. The apps and extensions are listed on the free plan too, so a user can try them before paying.
- Collections
- Unlimited collections organize captures on every plan, so even the free user can group images by project despite the 10-image view. Collections work like folders for visual material, which suits a project with many reference images.
- Replay and history
- Pro adds a 30-second replay and 100 browsing history items, which help recover a moment that happened a few seconds earlier. Both features appear under the Pro column on the pricing page, so free users do not get them.
How Gyazo handles your data
The Helpfeel privacy policy says account deletion is available on request and that information is housed in a secure database with one or more cloud providers. It states no retention period, no hosting region and no certification, and it does not address whether content trains AI models. The homepage links to a notice about a data breach caused by unauthorized access to Gyazo, which we did not open. A buyer should read that notice and ask the vendor about retention before uploading sensitive screens.
Where Gyazo falls short in practice
- Small free tier. The free plan shows only the latest 10 images and caps video at 7 seconds, which pushes regular users toward Pro within days. Anyone who wants to keep a long record of captures will reach that ceiling quickly.
- Prices not visible. The pricing page text returned no amounts for Pro or Teams, so a buyer must open the live page to learn what they cost. The vendor lists plan features and billing styles but leaves the money figures out of the text returned for the page.
- Team minimum. Teams needs at least five users and is billed monthly only, which does not fit a pair of colleagues who want shared storage. Teams also have no annual billing option on the pricing page text, which limits budgeting for a year.

Alternatives to Gyazo
Gyazo: common questions
How many screenshots does Gyazo's free plan keep?
The free plan keeps the up to 10 latest images and lets you upload unlimited screenshots and HD video. Older images fall out of view, so Pro, with unlimited images, is the plan for someone who treats the service as an archive.
Does Gyazo have OCR?
OCR text extraction is listed on Pro and not on the free plan. The pricing page describes it as AI-powered text extraction. It does not say which languages are supported or how accurate recognition is, so test a few of your own captures first.
How long can Gyazo videos be?
Video is up to 7 seconds on the free plan and up to 10 minutes on Pro, according to the pricing page. Pro also lists a 30-second replay feature. Longer recordings need another tool. Teams plans do not list a different video length in the text we read.
What does Gyazo Teams include?
Teams includes everything in Pro, plus a team subdomain, multi-user management, one bill per team, team-only sharing and optional Single Sign-On with Google Workspace. It is billed monthly per person with a minimum of five users, and a 30-day free trial is listed.
Did Gyazo have a data breach?
The homepage links to a notice about a data breach caused by unauthorized access to Gyazo. We did not open that notice, so we cannot describe its scope. Read it directly, and ask Helpfeel about retention and deletion before storing sensitive screens.
