Hit record and just do the thing. Girato adds smooth cinematic zooms that follow your cursor, plus sound and beautiful backdrops, then exports a polished MP4. No editing, nothing uploaded.
Zoom, cursor spotlights, titles and blur, all added the moment you stop recording. No timeline, no keyframes.
Real Girato output, recorded then styled automatically. Make your own in the browser.
Drop a headline, lower-third or callout, with fly-in, pop or typewriter entrances.
Clicks land with spotlights and sound; real keystrokes drive a keyboard sound and typing indicator too.
Hide names, emails or balances behind a soft blur you place in a single click.
No hex-picking, no design degree. Just drop your recording on a stage that already looks art-directed.
HoverTap a card to flip it.
System-wide auto-zoom on desktop, zero-install in any browser tab. One licence covers all three. The famous rivals are Mac-only or install-only.
The camera dollies in at an angle toward your exact click, then eases out like a film rig, not a flat scale. Toggle tilt or straight per zoom.
No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Capture, edit and render all happen on-device. It's the only recorder here you can safely point at an NDA screen.
No install, no signup, no card. Hit “Start free” and you're recording in the browser, and your first two exports come out watermark-free.
The moment you stop recording, Girato has already framed the shot.
Pick a screen, window or dragged area, with a live preview of exactly what's captured. Every cursor move, click and keystroke is tracked.
Cinematic zooms, effects and sound appear on a timeline the second you stop. Tweak anything, or nothing.
Choose aspect ratio and quality, and stream a polished MP4 straight to disk, faster than realtime.
Every click triggers an angled dolly-zoom that follows your cursor and eases back out. Pick cinematic tilt or a clean straight zoom, per moment, or the whole clip. Re-aim any zoom with one click; a reticle shows exactly where it points.
Fast MP4 (H.264) that plays everywhere, or WebM. One recording reframes to 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 for every platform, and the camera keeps your cursor in frame the whole way.
Click spotlights, click sounds, and a keyboard sound + typing animation from your real keystrokes.
Drag a box over just the part of the screen you want, or crop after recording. Taskbars gone.
Gradients, animated aurora, starfield & waves, your own image, any solid colour, or transparent.
Trim, cut, speed-ramps, silence auto-cut, privacy blur, webcam bubble, logo & text overlays, card-flip transitions.
Record your mic live, auto-caption it on-device, nothing uploads, plus built-in clicks, pops, whooshes and music.
Every recording auto-saves with its edits. Close the app, come back tomorrow, keep editing.
