What is this tool?

The Free Online Screen Recorder & Screenshot Tool is a privacy-focused web application that allows you to record your screen activity or capture still screenshots directly within your browser. It's ideal for creating tutorials, demonstrating software, capturing online content, or simply saving important visual information. Whether you're looking for a screen capture tool, a video recorder, a screencast software, or a simple desktop capture utility, our app has you covered. It's also known globally as a Grabador de Pantalla (Spanish), Bildschirmrekorder (German), or Gravador de Tela (Portuguese). This browser-based tool allows you to record your screen and capture screenshots with ease, with all data processed locally on your device for maximum privacy."

How does it work?

This tool leverages modern browser APIs (specifically `navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia()`) to capture your screen content. All recording and processing happen locally on your device, ensuring your data remains private and is never sent to any server.

• Screen Recording: Choose to record your entire screen, a specific application window, or a single browser tab. The recording is saved as a WebM video file, which is a highly efficient and widely supported format.
• Screenshot Capture: Take an instant snapshot of your screen content. The screenshot is generated as a PNG image, perfect for sharing or saving for later reference.

The tool provides clear controls for starting and stopping recordings, as well as a dedicated button for taking screenshots. You can preview your last screenshot directly within the application and download both recordings and screenshots to your device.

Key Features:

• Privacy-Focused: All data processing occurs locally in your browser; your screen content is never uploaded.
• No Installation Required: Use the tool directly from your web browser without any software installation.
• High-Quality Output: Records video in WebM format and captures screenshots as PNG images.
• User-Friendly Interface: Simple and intuitive controls for easy recording and capturing.
• Responsive Design: Adapts seamlessly to various screen sizes, from mobile phones to desktops (though screen recording functionality is limited on mobile).

Important Note on Mobile Devices:

Please note that screen recording functionality is typically not supported on mobile devices due to browser and operating system limitations. This tool is designed primarily for use on desktop and laptop computers. Screenshot functionality may also be limited or behave differently on mobile.

Important Note on Data Storage:

This tool does not store any of your recordings or screenshots. Each time you close the page, your information is reset. If you need to retain any files, please download them to your device before closing the browser tab.
