RECORDIO

Pro-level features. Zero effort.

A suite of intelligent tools that do the heavy lifting so you don't have to.

Auto Zoom

Zooms to exactly what matters

Recordio doesn't just follow the cursor, it understands the layout of all elements you are interacting with, so no input box or form is clipped out. A zoom that gets it right every single time.

Auto Spotlight

Elevate important elements

The background dims and the element you interact with pops forward with a subtle glow. It makes the page comes alive.

Backgrounds

Beautiful, dynamic canvas

Add depth and polish with vibrant backgrounds. Pick from a curated library, build your own using color gradients, or upload your own brand-matched image.

Captions

Locally AI-generated captions

AI generates perfectly-timed captions from your audio. Easily edit any mistakes, and style everything — font, color, position — to match your brand.

Clean Toolbar

No more messy browser tabs

Your toolbar is replaced with a clean, minimal bar that shows just the page title. No messy bookmark bars, 47 open tabs, or embarrassing URLs.

Overlays

Blur sensitive information

Use overlays to blur out sensitive information, add explanatory text, arrows or overlays to highlight important information.

And so much more...

Incredible snappy extension

Nourhan ShaabanNourhan Shaaban

Great tool for demos and walkthroughs. Easy to install, looks polished out of the box, and the zoom feature is a nice touch. Flexible enough to customize without overcomplicating things, and keeping recordings on-brand takes no extra effort.

I've used plenty of screen recorders but this one way smoother and produces a professional quality video without any headaches. The framing and spotlight features are especially great for creating demo and training videos!

Hussam Abu-Libdeh

What an amazing tool for demos!! I love that it automatically generates meaningful zooms and edits and gives me the ability to review them in post. Such a time saver!

High quality software with nice features for screen recording.

Pretty easy to use if you ask me! I like how everything just works behind the scene and I don't have to put a lot of effort in edits / after effects just focus on making my video. Product demos will be much different moving forward.

Safa JebriSafa Jebri

Super useful! The automatic features are so good that almost no editing needed. I love that I can save my own formatting settings so that I can reuse them across videos/projects. I also really like that I can create links to share a preview of my videos with others for feedback before exporting the finished product.

Ramy ZeidRamy Zeid

Great time saver! It smoothly recorded my walkthrough and already did an edited video that gave me full set of tools to adjust how I want it. Very intuitive and easy to use as well. Hope they do a version that can join meetings well to record them with other people to collaborate with other teams.

Excellent product - Easy to use and very intuitive.

Abdelrahman ElbashandyAbdelrahman Elbashandy

To the point! Very simple to use. The features are well thought out. I don't need to do background work to make it look professional. Recordio makes it ready to go live right away. Exactly what I was looking for!

This is much easier than microsoft stream or other screen recordings ive used as an instructor at my SaaS company. Easy to install and edit. And it does automatic zooming in to where i need the audiences attention. Definitely going to use this more.

I didn't know it was possible to have a screen recording AND editing tool AS A CHROME EXTENSION. This is a game changer! The super intuitive editor with auto zoom and spotlight feature makes the whole process a breeze. I was able to get a product demo video done with zero friction.

Arvin AhmadiArvin Ahmadi

Couldn't believe how easy it was to make a high-quality product demo with this extension. Loved the zoom/spotlight feature in particular. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Recordio.

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.

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.

By default, 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. If you use the shareable links feature, your video is uploaded to Cloudflare Stream for hosting. You can delete it at any time and it will be permanently removed.

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.

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.
