A free Chrome screen recorder with no watermark or account

Kapture is a free Chrome extension for recording a browser tab or your screen. This page lists what you get and what you do not.

What you get

• No account and no sign-in. Install it and record.
• No watermark on recordings or screenshots.
• Local storage. Recordings are saved in your browser profile, not uploaded to a server.
• Tab or screen recording, with tab audio and optional microphone audio.
• MP4 or WebM output, depending on what your browser supports.
• Screenshots and an annotation editor in the same extension.

What to expect

• Each recording is limited to five minutes.
• There is no sharing link. You export the file and share it yourself.
• Effects such as automatic zoom or styled backgrounds are not available yet.
• Recording works in Chrome on desktop. Chrome blocks capture of internal pages such as chrome://.
