Whether you are shipping a changelog clip, recording a SaaS onboarding guide on Windows, or documenting a web app on Linux, ScreenLens turns raw clicks into a guided camera path.
Generate zoom keyframes from your clicks in one tap, or add custom zoom blocks anywhere on the timeline. Choose zoom depth, hold duration, easing, and whether the camera zooms back out or stays zoomed while following your cursor.
Compress typing, page loads, or setup steps with one-click Auto Speed or draggable timeline speed segments.
Draw attention with spotlight and arrows, or blur out API keys, emails, and customer data before exporting.
Refit your recording for 16:9 widescreen, 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, or 4:3 social posts with custom backgrounds and padding.
Recording chunks and editor revisions persist in your browser profile so an accidental tab close never loses your take.
Yes. Because ScreenLens runs directly inside Google Chrome (and Chromium browsers) using modern WebCodecs and Canvas rendering, you get automatic click-to-zoom, cursor smoothing, and timeline editing on Windows 10/11, Linux, macOS, and ChromeOS.
While you record a browser tab, ScreenLens captures precise cursor coordinates and click timestamps. When you finish recording, it automatically builds smooth zoom-in, hold, and zoom-out keyframes around your clicks—and lets you drag, resize, or customize every zoom on the timeline.
Yes. ScreenLens Free includes local MP4, WebM, and GIF export at 30 or 60 fps with zero watermarks and full commercial-use rights. Optional ScreenLens Pro ($15/month or $120/year) adds background cloud rendering up to 4K when you want to offload heavy exports.
If you are on macOS and need to record native Xcode or Finder windows across multiple monitors, a native macOS app like Screen Studio fits well. If you are recording web apps, SaaS demos, docs walkthroughs, or working on Windows, Linux, or Chrome, ScreenLens gives you directed auto-zoom videos right inside your browser for free.
