The tour

Everything you would do by hand, done.

Five things that used to take an evening, each a click or two in Girato. All of it runs on your own computer.

Auto-zoom

Every click gets a close-up.

  • Desktop app: every recorded click is already a zoom
  • Browser: press Zoom, then click where it lands
  • 3D lean or straight zoom, per moment or whole clip
  • Drag a zoom on the timeline to change it
How auto-zoom works →
Privacy

Hide anything private.

  • Hide emails, names on invoices and API keys
  • Each blur gets its own bar on the timeline
  • Click the preview to place it, then size it
  • Done on your computer; the original never leaves it
Blur private details →
Titles & captions

Say it on screen.

  • Titles, step labels and calls to action, dragged into place
  • Fly in, pop, rise, fade or typewriter entrances
  • Every title on its own bar on the timeline
  • Auto-captions from your mic, nothing uploaded
Adding text to a recording →
Tilt & backdrops

Pick an angle.

  • Four-way 3D tilt: right, left, top or bottom
  • A shadow that falls the right way
  • 26 named backdrops, your own image, or any colour
  • Rounded corners, padding and window frames
Cinematic recordings →
Formats & export

One take. Every format.

  • 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 from one recording
  • MP4 at 1080p free, up to 4K with Pro, plus GIF
  • Transparent ProRes 4444 in the desktop app with Pro
  • The MP4 saves straight to your disk
Aspect ratios explained →
Feel the camera

Move your mouse. Click anything.

This is the auto-zoom, live. The camera leans toward every click and eases back out, exactly the move Girato builds from your real recording.

Autopilot · move your mouse to take overAutopilot · watch the camera work
LIVE · AUTO-ZOOM

No keyframes. Girato reads your clicks and builds this camera move for you, with the 3D tilt on top.

The math

Six minutes recorded. When is it posted?

The same demo, finished two ways. The editing is what eats the evening, so that is the part Girato removes.

The usual way 47 MIN

Recorder, then an editor, then an export that needs redoing.

Typical times for a six-minute product demo edited by hand. Yours will vary; the editing step is the one that does not.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

The moment you stop recording, Girato has already framed the shot.

1

Record

  • A screen, a window or a dragged area
  • Live preview of exactly what's captured
  • Every cursor move, click and keystroke tracked
2

Auto-edit

  • Zooms, effects and sound on the timeline
  • Ready the second you stop
  • Tweak anything, or nothing
3

Export

  • Pick the aspect ratio and quality
  • A polished MP4 straight to disk
  • Faster than realtime

Try it free in your browser

And the rest of the toolkit

A full editor, when you want one.

Automatic 3D cinematic zoom

  • Every click gets an angled dolly-zoom
  • It follows your cursor, then eases out
  • Cinematic tilt or straight, per moment or clip
  • Re-aim in one click; a reticle shows where

Export anywhere, reframed

  • MP4 (H.264) that plays everywhere, or WebM
  • One recording in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5
  • The camera keeps your cursor in frame

Click & typing effects

  • Click spotlights and click sounds
  • Keyboard sound and typing animation
  • Built from your real keystrokes

  • Or crop after recording
  • Taskbars gone

26 backgrounds

  • Your own image or any solid colour
  • Or fully transparent

Full editor
