screensnap.

Free, local, watermark-free screen recorder & screenshots. Timeline editor: trim, zoom, audio, annotate. Export native MP4 or GIF.

v1.3.1 has been released with the following updates: • Undo in the editor. Ctrl+Z (cmd+Z on Mac) reverts an accidental move, resize, or delete, and shift redoes it. • Tab recordings now survive going fullscreen mid-take. • Starting a second recording right after the first now works cleanly. • The selection outline clears when you click away from it. v1.3 has been released with the following new features: • A proper multi-track timeline in the video editor. The video, every overlay, and the audio each get their own track, with drag to move, drag edges to resize, and snapping. • Annotations, images, and GIFs can now be resized right on the video, and shown for just part of the clip. • Audio editing on the timeline. Mute regions without cutting the picture, adjust the volume, or mix in a voiceover or music track from a file. • New 720p and 1080p export presets that genuinely shrink file sizes. Screen recording shouldn't cost money, put a watermark on your video, or make you sign up. screensnap records your screen and takes screenshots for free. There's no time limit, no account, and no cloud. Everything stays on your machine, and all of it is open source. Feature requests are welcome on GitHub. RECORD ANYTHING, FREE AND UNLIMITED • Your whole screen, any app window, or a single browser tab, saved as native MP4 (H.264/AAC). • Screen + Cam puts your webcam in an always-on-top bubble with pause and stop right on it. Set it up first (circle or square, mirrored or not), then record. • Capture system or tab audio and your microphone, with pause, resume, and mic mute. • On-page and floating controls, plus global keyboard shortcuts for stop, pause, and restart. • Draw on the screen while you record (strokes fade out on their own), restart a take, or hide the camera mid-recording. • No upgrade prompts and no "pro" tier. It's all just free. A REAL VIDEO EDITOR, ALSO FREE • A multi-track timeline. The video, each overlay, and the audio get their own track. Drag blocks to move them, drag the edges to resize, and everything snaps into place. • Trim the ends, or cut mistakes out of the middle. • Zoom into the action with draggable focus blocks that ease in and out. • Add text, arrows, boxes, blur, logos, images, and animated GIFs. Resize them right on the video and set when they appear and disappear (circle something, then stop circling it). • Edit the audio. Mute regions without cutting the picture, change the volume, or mix in a voiceover or music track from a file. • Crop free-form or to a ratio (16:9, 1:1, 9:16, 4:3), change the speed, or wrap the video in a gradient backdrop with rounded corners and a shadow. • Export a native MP4 (pick 720p or 1080p to shrink the file) or an animated GIF, or download the original untouched. Every frame is encoded on your device. SCREENSHOTS • Visible area or full page, saved as PNG. • Annotate before saving with text, arrows, shapes, highlight, and blur. • Crop, reorder layers, add an image or logo, and come back later to re-edit your text. • Add a padded backdrop, then copy to the clipboard or save to your computer. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Capture, processing, and storage all happen locally. Nothing leaves your device. • No servers, no telemetry, no analytics, and zero network calls. • Minimal permissions. Screen and window sharing use Chrome's own picker, and screensnap only touches the tab you point it at. It has no background access to your browsing. Free forever, and open source.
