← PointerStudio

A free screen recorder for Windows that makes your video look finished

Most screen recorders only capture the screen. PointerStudio records, then helps you finish the video: it follows your cursor, zooms on your clicks and puts your screen on a clean background. It is free for Windows 10 and 11, with no watermark and no time limit.

Record what you need

Record a full screen, a single window or an area. Pick a 3, 5 or 10 second countdown, and start or stop from any app with a shortcut. Add your microphone if you want to talk through what you are doing.

Edit in the same app

Export an MP4

Export in 720p, 1080p or 1440p with Draft, Balanced or High quality (Ctrl + E). The file has no watermark.

Your files stay on your computer

Recordings, projects and exports are saved locally, and PointerStudio does not upload them. See the privacy policy for the few anonymous stats the app can send, which you can turn off in Settings.

Good for

Product demos, software tutorials, bug reports, course lessons and YouTube tutorials.

The installer is new and not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning the first time: select More info, then Run anyway, and download only from this site or the official GitHub release.
