The small things that save your day.

The details around the capture itself — tidying the page before you shoot, moving fast after, pulling text out of any image, your own shortcuts, and never losing a take.

Before capture

Tidy the page first.

Delete the cookie banner, anonymize a name, fix a typo — reshape the live page so what you capture is what you meant to share.

Remove elementEdit textAnonymize
After capture

From capture to share, in one click.

Pick what happens by default — download the file, copy it to your clipboard, or open it in the built-in editor for a quick crop or annotation.

Text extract

Select anything. Get the text.

Drag a region over an image, a paused video frame, or a scanned PDF. Webshot reads the text locked inside it and puts it on your clipboard.

If your tab reloads or the browser crashes mid-recording, Webshot finds the session next time you open it — and lets you save it.

Answers to your most common questions.

If your question isn't covered here, reach out through support and we'll get back to you.

Is Webshot really free?

Yes, all of it. Every capture mode, recording, the auto-zoom video editor, exports. No paid tier, no trial that expires, no credit card, no account.

Do my screenshots and recordings leave my computer?

No. Everything is saved and rendered on your device, with no telemetry, and Webshot works with no internet connection at all.

Can Webshot see what I'm browsing?

No. It only sees the tab or screen you point it at, at the moment you capture. It has no access to your other tabs, your history, or the pages you visit.

Does it record the whole desktop or just the browser tab?

Your choice. Record any tab, a single window, or your entire desktop. A picker asks which, every time.

Can it record my voice and my face too?

Yes. Pick any microphone (with a live level meter), capture system or tab audio on Chrome, and float a draggable camera bubble over the recording, or go camera-only.

What makes the video zoom in automatically?

Your clicks. While you record a tab, Webshot notes where you click, and the video editor opens with a smooth zoom already placed at each one. Nudge them, deepen them, delete them, or add your own.

Will my videos have a watermark or a time limit?

Neither. Record as long as you like and export MP4 or GIF with no watermark, rendered on your own machine with no upload queue.

Does it work on Firefox?

Yes. It works on Chrome and Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc), plus Firefox with full feature parity via its recorder tab.

Why Webshot instead of Loom or Screenity?

Everything they put behind a paywall is free here: auto-zoom editing, unlimited recording length, watermark-free MP4 and GIF exports. There's no account to create, no subscription to cancel, and no upload to wait for. The moment you stop recording, the file is on your device and it's yours.
