# Click ripple maker

Turn a still screenshot into a short clip that shows where to click. Drop in a picture, click where each click should happen, and download a GIF or a video with ripples, a gliding cursor and (in the video) click sounds.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type, click, film or say is uploaded or saved.

## How to make a click GIF

1.  Choose, drop or paste a screenshot.
2.  Click the picture where each click should happen, in order. Every click gets a ripple, and the cursor glides from one to the next.
3.  Pick the colour, size and style, and a click sound for the video.
4.  Press **Download GIF** or **Download video**.

## GIF or video?

-   **GIF** plays anywhere (docs, READMEs, help centres, email) but has no sound and fewer colours.
-   **Video** keeps every colour and has the click sounds. It’s an MP4 in Safari and newer Chrome, otherwise a WebM.

## Private by design

Your screenshot never leaves this page. The GIF and the video are made by your browser, on your computer.

Make your Mac feel this good all day

For real recordings, Clacky draws a ripple on every click as you record, with click sounds, so there’s nothing to add afterwards.

## Questions

### How do I show mouse clicks in a screenshot?

Drop the screenshot here and click on it where the clicks go. Each one gets a ripple, then download a GIF or a short video.

### Is my screenshot uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser: the picture, the ripples and the export. Nothing is sent anywhere.

### Why does the GIF look a bit grainy?

GIFs can only use 256 colours, so gradients and photos get dithered. For sharp colours, download the video instead.

### Can I get ripples like this while I record my real screen?

Yes. Clacky draws a ripple under your cursor on every click on your Mac, and its recorder captures it live with the click sounds.
