The screen recorder that edits for you

Cursorful zooms in on your clicks and follows your cursor automatically, so a plain screen recording comes out as a finished product video. Background, webcam and mic included. Free, no sign-up.

What's in the editor

A full studio, not just a recorder

Record with the extension or the desktop apps, or drop in any video file. Zooms, crops, captions and backgrounds are applied in the editor, and nothing is uploaded.

Sign up

Automatic zooms & pans

Cursorful follows your clicks and cursor with silky, cinematic zooms — no keyframes to place by hand. Record, and the first automatic edit is already done.

ShallowDeepMaximum

Manual zooms, any depth

Drop a zoom anywhere on the timeline — follow the cursor or pin a spot — and dial the depth from shallow to maximum.

Webcam, your way

Circle, rounded or sharp — dock your camera in any corner, resize it, even move and reshape it per scene.

Denoise microphone

Mic with studio denoising

Narrate while you record. Denoising strips fans, hums and keyboard clatter — entirely on your machine.

Captions, generated
Speech-to-text, in your browser

One-click captions

Generate captions from your audio, on your device — then style size, fill and stroke to match your brand.

10×
Speed through the boring parts, trim out the dead air

Speed, trim & split

Speed up any segment up to 10×, trim dead air and split takes, all on the same timeline as your zooms.

Automatic cropping

Crop to the recorded window automatically, or draw a fixed crop to leave out toolbars, sidebars and anything else off-topic.

Shareable links

Export straight to a streaming link — public or private to your organization. No file juggling, just paste it in Slack.

Backgrounds & padding

macOS & Windows wallpapers, gradients, solid colors or your own image — with padding, rounded corners and soft shadows.

16:99:161:1

Every aspect ratio

Export the same edit as 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts and Reels, 1:1 for feeds — ten presets from ultrawide to portrait.

Rendering locally…4K
Your video never leaves your machine

100% local, offline rendering

Exports run on your device with hardware encoding — up to 4K, private by default. Cloud is opt-in, never required.

Hide the browser frame

One click hides the tab strip, address bar and bookmarks, so the recording shows only the page.

Cursor effects

Your cursor is the star of the show

Each card is a live demo — move your mouse over it and the cursor inside follows yours. Click animations work in the extension too; the rest need the desktop app, which records the pointer separately so it can be redrawn.

Smooth movement

Jittery hand movement is replaced with a smoothed path. The gray cursor is your raw input; the green one is what viewers see.

Cursor size

Scale the cursor from subtle to unmissable so it reads clearly on any screen — even a phone playing a 4K demo.

Click animations

Mark each click with an orb, a pressure ring or a ripple, so viewers see exactly where and when you clicked. Click in here to try it.

Motion blur

Fast movement is blurred along its path instead of jumping between frames. Flick your mouse across the card.

Movement sway

The cursor tilts into turns and settles when it stops, so movement reads as deliberate rather than mechanical.

Cursor shadow

A drop shadow separates the cursor from the page, so it stays visible over dense UI and same-coloured backgrounds.

Extension and desktop apps

One editor, every platform

Record with the free extension or the Pro desktop apps. Both open the same editor, so nothing changes when you switch.

Chrome extension

Records your browser in Chrome, Edge and Brave on macOS, Windows and Linux. Free, no sign-up.

Dedicated Mac & Windows apps
