Question 1

Is Recordio free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — record, edit, and export as many videos as you want for free. You get unlimited 720p exports with a small Recordio watermark. For a limited time, new users also get a free 1-week Pro trial with unlimited 4K exports and no watermark.

Question 2

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. You can record, edit, and export without signing up. An account is only needed to claim your free Pro trial or upgrade to Pro.

Question 3

Do my recordings leave my computer?

Accepted Answer

No. Your recordings, edits, and projects stay on your computer. Captions are also generated locally on your device — your content is never uploaded to any server.

Question 4

How is Recordio different from other screen recorders?

Accepted Answer

Other screen recorders just blindly follow your mouse, often leading to jittery or incoherent zooms. Recordio actually understands your web app. It detects when you're typing, scrolling, or hovering over a card, and uses advanced algorithms to perfectly frame the important elements. It's also the only recorder that automatically spotlights cards, popovers, and other elements you interact with, giving your videos a polished, studio-quality look.

Question 5

Does Recordio work outside of Chrome?

Accepted Answer

Right now, Recordio is a Chrome extension (also works on Edge and Brave). Native desktop apps and support for more browsers are on the way.
