Captureleaf – Free Screen Recorder: Tab, Webcam, Audio, No Watermark, MP4

Captureleaf is a free screen recorder for Chrome that cannot lose your recording. Record your screen, a browser tab, or your webcam with microphone and system audio, then trim, crop and export to MP4, WebM, GIF or MP3. No watermark, no time limit, and nothing uploaded. Free forever with a free account. Most screen recording extensions hold the whole video in memory until you press Stop. If Chrome crashes, the tab closes, or your laptop dies, the recording is gone. Captureleaf writes every second to disk as it records, so a crash costs you nothing: the recording is rebuilt from what was saved and is waiting in the popup the next time you open it. 🎥 RECORD • Screen, any window, the current tab, or webcam only • Microphone, tab audio, or system audio, mixed live • Webcam bubble overlay in any corner (circle or square, three sizes) • 720p, 1080p, or 4K at 30 or 60 fps • Countdown, pause and resume, mute, and a live timer on the toolbar badge • Global keyboard shortcuts that work even when Chrome is not the front window • Floating on-page controls with elapsed time and file size ✂️ EDIT • Trim the start and end, cut sections from the middle, crop the frame • Smart trim cuts on keyframes so the export stays instant; exact trim when you need the frame • Undo and redo • What you preview is exactly what you export 💾 EXPORT • MP4 (copied, not re-encoded: an hour-long recording exports in seconds) • WebM, MP3 audio-only, and animated GIF for short clips • Full resolution, no downgrade, no watermark • Saved straight to your Downloads folder with the exact path shown 📁 LIBRARY • Every recording in one place with thumbnails, size, duration and source • Rename, star, search, sort, and collections • Choose a folder on your own disk; recordings are kept there as ordinary MP4 files that survive uninstall 🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Free forever with a free account: one email and a password, no card • No upload: the only thing the extension ever sends is your account identifier, to activate the extension and check your plan • No watermark, no time limit, no recording count limit • Everything stays on your device; settings are not even synced through Google • Free and open source WHO IT IS FOR Tutorials and how-to videos, product demos, bug reports, lectures and online classes, recording meetings and webinars, saving a video call, gameplay in the browser, or a quick video message: any time you need to record your screen and keep the file. PERMISSIONS Captureleaf asks only for what a screen recorder needs: tab capture, downloads to save the file, and storage for your recordings. It never requests access to the websites you visit unless you turn on "Keep controls visible across pages", which is optional.
