PapCam

PapCam is a free screen recorder and video editor for Chrome that helps you record browser demos, walkthroughs, bug reports, tutorials, and product updates that look polished without extra editing. Instead of sending messy screen recordings, PapCam captures your tab or screen and adds presentation-friendly details like smart zoom, click effects, and clean browser framing — then lets you edit everything right inside the extension.
