A Screen Studio alternative for Windows

Screen Studio is known for recordings that zoom in on the cursor automatically and sit on a polished background. It is a Mac app and it is paid, so if you use Windows you need something else. PointerStudio gives you the same style of result on Windows 10 and 11, and it is free.

What is similar

Auto zoom that follows your cursor and zooms on clicks.
Backgrounds, rounded corners, frames and shadows around your screen.
An editor where you can change or remove any zoom after you record.
Clean MP4 export.

What is different

Platform: PointerStudio runs on Windows 10 and 11.
Price: PointerStudio is free today, with no watermark and no time limit.
Privacy: your recordings stay on your computer. Read the privacy policy.
Maturity: PointerStudio is a young app. It is improving quickly, and you can send feedback to [email protected].

Try it in five minutes

Install it, record a short demo of any app, and open the editor. You will see the zooms already placed on your clicks. Read the full guide to adding zoom to a screen recording.

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.
