GyStation.exe is an executable file associated with the software Gyazo Station, developed by Nota Inc. This software is typically installed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Gyazo directory.
Gyazo Station is a popular tool used for capturing and sharing screenshots and GIFs. It allows users to quickly capture any part of their screen, upload the image or GIF to the cloud, and share it via a unique URL. This makes it a useful tool for visual communication, particularly in professional settings where visual explanations may be necessary.
The GyStation.exe file is a crucial component of the Gyazo Station software. It is responsible for the execution of the program and its various functionalities. Without this file, Gyazo Station would not be able to run properly, if at all.
While GyStation.exe is not inherently harmful, it can sometimes cause problems. If you notice that your system is running slower than usual, or if you find that the file is consuming an excessive amount of CPU resources, it may be necessary to remove it. If the file is located outside of the typical C:\Program Files (x86)\Gyazo directory, it could be a sign of a malicious program disguised as GyStation.exe.
You should only remove GyStation.exe if you no longer wish to use Gyazo Station, or if you suspect it may be causing problems. If you're unsure, it's always a good idea to run a virus scan to check for potential threats.

GyStation is related to Gyazo, which allows you to easily take screenshots of your computer. It is not a virus. Nate (further information)
This is actually a good piece of software, used for instantly capturing and uploading parts of your desktop to Gyazo a free gif hosting platform. Isn't required, and should be removed if you didn't intend to install it - but for most people with it on it's likely to be intentional! Adam (further information)

Its a program that looks for the keybind you need to press to capture video / picture with Gyazo. No need to delete it since its not dangerous Stijn V
GyStation is known as Gyazo Station, and is used for Gyazo's GIF capture system. The process is harmless and will not harm any of your computer. Yes, it does use up processes on the computer, but it's not a virus nor malware, though it can be mistaken as one. If you no longer want GyStation running on your computer, uninstall Gyazo.

Best practices for resolving GyStation issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with GyStation. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
