PapCam

Record polished browser demos — auto-zoom, smooth cursor, webcam bubble, mic narration, and one-click MP4 export.

PapCam is a free screen recorder and video editor for Chrome. Record browser demos, product walkthroughs, bug reports and tutorials that look polished — no extra editing needed. Instead of sending messy screen recordings, PapCam captures your tab, window or screen and automatically adds smart zoom, click effects and clean browser framing. Then you can fine-tune everything in the built-in editor and export an MP4, WebM or GIF.
