    Simple Screen Recorder makes polished screen recordings easy — right inside Chrome.
    
    WHAT IT DOES
    • Record any Chrome tab, window, or entire screen
    • Automatic zoom-to-cursor — clicks in the page create smooth zoom effects
    • Built-in timeline editor with trim, zoom blocks, and cursor overlay
    • Export to MP4 or WebM in one click
    • Add backgrounds, browser frames, and padding for professional-looking demos
    
    HOW IT WORKS
    1. Click the extension icon → Start Recording
    2. Choose what to share (tab, window, or screen)
    3. Click Stop when you're done
    4. Edit in the built-in editor — trim, add zoom effects, choose a background
    5. Export as MP4 or WebM — processing happens locally on your device
    
    KEY FEATURES
    ✦ Auto Zoom — Every click during recording becomes a smooth zoom effect. Navigate a page naturally, and the extension turns your clicks into cinematic zoom-ins that follow the cursor.
    ✦ Timeline Editor — Trim your recording, add or remove zoom blocks, adjust zoom level and position. All non-destructive.
    ✦ Backgrounds & Frames — Wrap your recording in a browser frame with a gradient or solid-color background. Great for product demos, tutorials, and presentations.
    ✦ Local & Private — Your recordings never leave your device. No accounts, no cloud uploads, no tracking. Everything runs in the browser.
    ✦ Multiple Formats — Export as MP4 (best compatibility) or WebM. Powered by FFmpeg running locally via WebAssembly.

      highlight exactly what matters
    • Built-in timeline editor — trim, adjust spotlight blocks, tweak cursor

      attention to what matters. Record naturally; the extension handles

      or remove spotlight blocks, adjust zoom level and position.
