Screen Recording, Too

PrintScreen.ly records screen video, too — region or fullscreen, with system audio and mic. Recordings save to a standard MP4 on your machine and stay there.

Region or Fullscreen

Record the area you select or the whole display. Same overlay you already use for screenshots.

System Audio + Microphone

Both on by default. Mute either one mid-recording from the floating control bar.

Saves to MP4

Standard MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio. Plays in QuickTime, Movies & TV, anywhere.

Your Video, Your Machine

Recordings save to your Movies (Mac) or Videos (Windows) folder and stay there. No cloud upload, no share link, no account required.

30 fps Default, 60 fps Available

Smooth at 30 for everyday capture. Bump to 60 for motion-heavy demos.

One Hotkey

⌘⇧R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows. Press it again to stop.
