Overview

Record. Polish. Ship — all inside Chrome.

Simple Screen Recorder captures any tab, window, or screen 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, 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
• 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
• Export to MP4 or WebM in one click — processing runs locally,
nothing uploaded

HOW IT WORKS
1. Click the extension icon → Start Recording
2. Choose what to capture (tab, window, or screen)
3. Record naturally — click wherever you want spotlight effects to appear
4. Edit in the built-in editor — trim, reposition effects, 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.
✦ 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. FFmpeg runs in WebAssembly,
entirely in your browser.
✦ MP4 & WebM Export — High-quality export in the format you need,
in one click.
