Complete Feature List

Screen Recorder Pro is a free, browser-based screen recorder built around one simple idea: you should be able to capture your screen in seconds without installing anything, creating an account, or handing your footage to a server you do not control. The recorder runs entirely inside Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari using the same standards-based capture APIs that power video calls. Because the recording is assembled in your browser, your screen and audio are processed locally on your own device first — nothing is silently uploaded in the background, and you decide whether a finished clip stays on your computer or goes to your own Google Drive. That privacy-first, no-install approach is what makes the tool fast to start with and safe to use for sensitive work like client demos, internal training, or bug reports.

How Each Feature Helps You

Screen capture that matches what you are doing

When you start a recording, your browser asks whether you want to share your entire screen, a single application window, or just one browser tab. That choice matters more than it sounds. If you are recording a full walkthrough that jumps between apps, capture the whole screen. If you only want to show one document or design file, choose the window so notifications and other tabs never leak into the footage. Tab capture is the cleanest option for web demos because it follows that tab even if you switch away from it. You stay in control of exactly what your viewers see, frame by frame.

System and microphone audio, together or separately

Good narration is what turns a silent screen recording into a useful tutorial. You can record your microphone so viewers hear your voice, capture system audio so they hear the app sounds, music, or video you are demonstrating, or enable both at once. System audio capture is most reliable in Chrome and Edge, where you tick the “Share audio” box in the browser prompt. If you only need your voice, leave system audio off to keep the file smaller and avoid echo. Either way, you choose your audio mix before you hit record, so there are no surprises in the final clip.

Webcam overlay for a personal touch

A small picture of your face in the corner makes tutorials, course lessons, and sales walkthroughs far more engaging than a bare screen. With the Pro webcam overlay you can position the camera bubble anywhere on the frame and choose a circular or rectangular shape before recording begins, so your face never covers the part of the screen that matters. This is the feature creators reach for when they want their recordings to feel like a real person explaining something rather than an anonymous screen dump.

Quality and format control

Resolution, frame rate, and file format are the three levers that decide how your recording looks and how big the file is. Higher resolution and frame rate give you crisp, smooth motion that is ideal for fast UI or gameplay, but they also produce larger files. If you are emailing a quick bug report, a lower setting keeps the file light. For export, MP4 is the safe default that plays everywhere, while WebM is smaller and perfect for the web. Picking the right combination up front saves you from re-recording or re-encoding later.

Pause and resume without losing your place

Real recordings rarely happen in one perfect take. The pause and resume controls — available on both Free and Pro plans — let you stop the moment you need to check a note, switch tabs, take a sip of water, or wait for a page to load, then continue into the same file. Because everything stitches into one continuous recording, you avoid the tedious job of trimming and joining clips afterward, and your viewers never see the dead air.

Save straight to your own Google Drive

When a recording is done you can download it to your device or send it to a Google Drive account you connect yourself. Saving to Drive means your clip is backed up, shareable by link, and reachable from any device without crowding your local disk. Because you authorize your own Drive, the files live in storage you own and control — you can revoke access at any time. The Free plan links one Drive account; Pro lets you connect several, which is handy if you keep work and personal recordings apart.

Free vs Pro at a Glance

Both plans share the same fast, no-install recorder. The difference is how far you can push it — how long you record, how sharp it looks, and how much you can keep. Here is exactly what each plan includes.

Browser & System Requirements

Screen Recorder Pro runs on any modern, up-to-date browser — there is nothing to install and no extension to add. For the best experience, including full system-audio capture, use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on Windows, macOS, Linux, or ChromeOS. Firefox supports screen and microphone recording reliably but has more limited system-audio support, and Safari on macOS handles screen and microphone capture while its system-audio support is partial. On mobile, recording depends on whether your device’s browser exposes the screen-sharing APIs, so capabilities vary by phone and OS version. In all cases you simply need a current browser, permission to share your screen, and — if you want narration — a working microphone. An internet connection is only required to load the app and to save recordings to Google Drive.
