Simple Screen Recorder

Record any tab or screen with auto spotlight on clicks, beautiful backgrounds, browser frames, and one-click MP4 export.

Free screen recorder for Chrome with webcam, auto zoom on clicks, crop and a built-in video editor. Record a tab, window or your whole screen, polish it, and export a professional MP4 in minutes — all in your browser. Most screen recorders hand you a raw file and leave the editing to you. Simple Screen Recorder does the polishing for you: every click becomes a smooth zoom, your webcam stays editable after recording, and backgrounds and browser frames make any demo look designed. No account, no cloud, no watermark. NEW IN 2.6: CROP Cut your video down to the part that matters. Click Crop under the preview, drag the frame or pick a shape — Widescreen 16:9, Vertical 9:16, Square 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4 — and the export contains just that area. Zooms follow your clicks inside the crop, Undo works, and the crop is saved with your recording.
