Captode — Screenshot & Screen Recorder

Take full-page, visible or selected-area screenshots and screen recordings, mark them up, and save them as images, PDFs or videos.

New in 2.3 Simple or All tools: start with trim, cut, captions and export; turn on everything else when you need it. A short tour shows you around. Clips: join recordings and video files, put a clip at the playhead, with fades between clips. Layers: webcam or other video, pictures and text over your recording, which can move across the screen. Captions: from speech (on the device), styled and lit up word by word, cleaned of "um"s, and added to MP4 and WebM as subtitles in several languages. Sound: record a voiceover, add background music trimmed to the right moment, lower background noise and even out the volume. Zoom that follows the pointer, chapters, brand kits with intro and outro slides, and templates for bug reports, tutorials and social clips. Export several: other formats and upright or square copies made in the background, with a check before exporting for anything unexpected. Undo history to go back several steps at once, and recovery if the tab closes during an export. Everything is still made on your device: no account, no upload, no watermark. Captode takes screenshots and screen recordings of web pages, lets you mark them up, and saves them to your computer. Everything happens in your browser: no account, no uploads and no watermark. Screenshots Capture a whole scrolling page in one image, just what's on screen, an area you drag out with a mouse, finger or pen, or a single part of the page you point at. Long pages and web apps that scroll inside a panel are stitched cleanly, with sticky headers shown once. Wait a few seconds first to catch an open menu, start from the right-click menu, or press a keyboard shortcut on any page. Mark up Add arrows, shapes, text, callouts, highlights and numbered steps, spotlight or magnify what matters, and blur or black out anything private before you share. Captode can also blur email addresses and phone or card numbers in every new screenshot, if you turn that on. Copy the text out of a screenshot of a web page, and add your own logo to a corner. Select several things to align, arrange or copy them, and pick up where you left off: your edits are kept with each capture. Crop, resize, or add padding, a background and a shadow. Every tool has a keyboard shortcut, and changes can be undone. Save Save as an image or a PDF, or copy straight to the clipboard, automatically if you like. You can see the file size before you save, and set a size limit for email or chat apps: Captode keeps the best quality that fits. Smallest keeps every pixel in the smallest file, a screenshot from a high-resolution display can be saved at its on-screen size, and several sizes can be saved in one zip. Where your system allows it, Share sends a file straight to another app. Keep your work Captures are cleared after a day unless you keep them, or after a week or a month if you choose. Save a project file to carry on later, or on another computer, with every edit still in place. Back up your settings, logo and presets in a file to set up another computer. Record Record the current tab, an area of it, or your whole screen or a window, with sound if you like. Only the page is kept, even when DevTools shows it at a phone's size, and you can record it as shown, scaled up or down, or at a standard resolution. Talk over it with your microphone, add yourself in a round camera bubble, and show your clicks. A countdown of up to 30 seconds gives you time to get ready, you can pause and carry on or draw on the page to point things out, and one click on the toolbar button stops the recording. If the browser closes mid-recording, what was recorded is kept. Turn a recording into a step-by-step guide: a numbered picture and a note for each click, downloaded as a web page, PDF or Markdown, or copied with its pictures to paste into a document. Add captions, burned in or as subtitle files, and translate guides and captions on your device with the browser's built-in translator. Review designs Check a build against its design: measure spacing in CSS pixels, check colour contrast against accessibility guidelines, lay a spacing grid over the page, or compare two images with a slider or a highlight of what changed. Share a capture for review as a single web page with a note for each numbered step. Edit recordings Trim on a timeline, cut parts out, speed parts up, zoom in, blur private details, add arrows, labels and captions, crop, and put the video on a background. Then save it as a video or an animated GIF, in seconds rather than the length of the recording, or queue the export to carry on in the background. Device frames Present any screenshot or recording inside real phone and tablet models, portrait or landscape, at their true screen sizes and proportions. Your capture keeps its exact pixels. For everyone Captode follows your light or dark theme, works with touchscreens, keyboards, screen readers and high-contrast mode, and runs wherever Chrome does, including Chromebooks. Private by design Captode has no servers and makes no network requests. Your captures stay on your device until you save them, and are cleared automatically after a day unless you keep them (or after a week or a month, or never, as you choose). There is no account, analytics or tracking. Captode is open source: https://github.com/nevin/Captode
