About Simple Screen Recorder

Record. Polish. Ship — all inside Chrome. Simple Screen Recorder captures any tab, window, or screen — with your camera and voice — and turns it into a polished, professional-looking video without leaving the browser. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most screen recorders give you a raw video file and leave the rest to you. Simple Screen Recorder includes a built-in timeline editor, automatic spotlight effects on every click, a movable webcam bubble, beautiful backgrounds, and one-click MP4 export — so you go from recording to ready-to-share in minutes. WHAT IT DOES • Record any Chrome tab, window, or full screen • Camera bubble — add your webcam as a circular overlay, and reposition, resize, or remove it AFTER recording • Voice narration — record your microphone and tab audio together • Auto spotlight — your clicks become smooth zoom-in effects that highlight exactly what matters • Built-in timeline editor — trim, adjust spotlight blocks, tweak cursor overlay, all non-destructive • Backgrounds & browser frames — gradient or solid-color backgrounds with a browser chrome frame for clean, professional demos • Recordings library — every recording is auto-saved on your device, so you can reopen and re-edit it anytime • Export to MP4 in one click — processing runs locally, nothing uploaded HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the extension icon → turn on mic and camera if you want them 2. Choose what to capture (tab, window, or screen) 3. Record naturally — click wherever you want spotlight effects to appear; pause and resume anytime 4. Edit in the built-in editor — trim, reposition effects, drag your camera bubble into place, pick a background 5. Export to MP4 — ready to share in seconds KEY FEATURES ✦ Auto Spotlight — Every click becomes a smooth zoom effect that draws attention to what matters. Record naturally; the extension handles the cinematography. ✦ Camera Bubble — Your webcam records as a separate track, so nothing is baked in: drag it to any corner, resize it, make it round or square, or turn it off entirely — all after you've stopped recording. ✦ Timeline Editor — Non-destructive editing: trim your recording, add or remove spotlight blocks, adjust zoom level and position. ✦ Backgrounds & Frames — Wrap your recording in a browser frame with a gradient or solid background. Looks polished without any design work. ✦ Local & Private — Nothing ever leaves your device. No account required, no cloud uploads, no data collected. Recordings, editing, and export all run entirely in your browser. ✦ MP4 Export — High-quality 60fps export in the format you need, in one click. PERFECT FOR • Product demos and feature walkthroughs • Tutorial videos and how-tos • Social media content (LinkedIn, X, YouTube) • Investor demos and pitch materials • Async team communication KEYBOARD SHORTCUT Press Ctrl+Shift+E (Cmd+Shift+E on Mac) to stop recording instantly from any tab. Free to use. No account. No uploads. No tracking.
