Screen recording guides
Short, specific guides for the jobs people actually record. Each one links straight into the recorder, so you can follow it while you do it.
By task
- Record your screen straight to a GIFTurn a screen recording into a looping GIF right in the browser. Crop a region, pick 10–20 fps and a width, export in seconds. Nothing is uploaded.
- Record the screen and the sound coming out of itCapture the sound coming out of your computer together with the screen — meeting audio, a video, a game. Free, local, no account required.
- Record one window, not your whole desktopRecord one application window instead of your entire desktop. Free browser recorder, no install, no account, works on Windows, macOS and ChromeOS.
- Record at 4K — or 1080p when that is smarterRecord your screen at source resolution, 4K, 1080p or 720p, at 30 or 60 fps, and export MP4 or GIF. No install, no account, nothing uploaded.
- No account, no upload, no cookiesA free browser screen recorder that never asks for an account, never uploads your recording and works offline after the first load. Verified: no cookies.
- A screen recorder that fits a ChromebookRecord your Chromebook screen in the browser. No Linux container, no Android app, no install. Free, local and works offline after the first load.
- Record a bug report people will actually watchA 15-second clip beats a paragraph of steps. Record just the widget, export a GIF or MP4 and attach it to the ticket. No account, nothing uploaded.
- Record a lecture without a studioRecord slides, your voice and an optional camera bubble, then export an MP4 for the LMS. Browser only, no install, no account, nothing uploaded.
- No watermark, no export paywall, no accountFree screen recording with no watermark, no export paywall and no account. What you record is what you get — MP4, WebM or GIF, at up to 4K.
- Put yourself in the corner of the recordingPut your camera in the corner of a screen recording. Drag it, resize it, mirror it — before or during the take. Free, local, no install.
Comparisons

- OneTake vs OBS: quick clip or full studioOBS is a full production suite: scenes, sources, plugins, streaming. OneTake is a one-click browser recorder for quick clips. When each one makes sense.
