Your face on screen
A round, rounded or square camera bubble you can drag and resize, a side-by-side layout, or full-frame camera for a talking-head lesson.
Features
Every part of the capture loop
Take the shot, record it, teach with it, ship it. CaptureFlow covers all of it without a single round-trip to another app.
CaptureFlow Studio
A recording studio for lessons New in 0.7
Open Studio from the popup and record a complete lesson: your screen, your face and your drawings in one video, recorded in parts so a mistake never costs you the whole take.
How a lesson goes
- Set up. Pick a source — screen, one window, one tab, or camera only — and a layout: camera bubble, side-by-side or full frame.
- Record. A 3-2-1 countdown, then you teach. The floating controls stay on top of whatever you are showing: pause, next segment, draw, freeze, whiteboard, mic.
- Draw. Mark up your slides as you talk. Only your ink goes into the video — never the tool buttons.
- Fix. Made a mistake? Retake just that segment, reorder segments, delete one. Everything before it stays.
- Export. One MP4 or WebM in 720p, 1080p or 4K, downloaded to your computer — or uploaded with a link for your class.
Your tools stay out of the video
The pens, colours and buttons live in a small floating window that sits on top of everything but is never captured. Your class sees the slide and your ink — not the toolbar.
Draw while you teach
Pen, highlighter, arrow, line, rectangle, ellipse, text, laser pointer and spotlight — on Google Slides, a PDF or any web page.
Freeze & Draw, whiteboard
Freeze holds your screen still so you can annotate anything — even apps outside Chrome. The whiteboard gives you a blank page to work on.
Retake one part
Every lesson is a list of segments. Redo the one you stumbled on, drag segments into a new order, and keep the rest exactly as it was.
MP4 or WebM, up to 4K
Export one finished file that plays everywhere and uploads to YouTube as-is. Or press upload and copy a share link for your class.
Saved on your computer
Lessons are kept in your own browser, so you can close Chrome and carry on next week. Nothing is uploaded unless you ask.
Free: lessons up to 30 minutes each, with a small “Made with CaptureFlow” mark in the corner. Basic: unlimited lesson length and no mark. Compare plans.
Capture
Four ways to take a shot
Whatever you need to show — a single button, a modal that only appears on hover, or a 12,000-pixel-tall landing page — there is a capture mode for it.
Visible area
Ctrl + Shift + 1Exactly what is on your screen right now. Respects device pixel ratio, so a 150%-scaled Windows display still produces a sharp, correctly sized image.
Selected region
Ctrl + Shift + 2The page dims, you drag a rectangle, and a live width × height label tracks the selection. Release to capture and crop in one motion.
Full scrolling page
Ctrl + Shift + 3CaptureFlow measures the document, scrolls one viewport at a time, waits for lazy-loaded images, hides sticky headers after the first frame, and stitches everything into a single tall image.
Delayed capture
3-2-1A visible countdown before the shutter, so you can open a dropdown, hold a hover state, or focus a tooltip that would otherwise vanish the moment you click away.
Annotate
Twelve tools, one canvas
The editor opens in its own tab with your capture already loaded. Everything you draw stays an editable object until export — select it, drag it, resize it from the corner handles, nudge it with the arrow keys, or hit Delete.

Get it out in the format you actually need
Different destinations want different files. CaptureFlow shows you the size before you commit.
Download
PNG, JPG or WebP. Presets for Original, Full HD, HD and SD, with a live file-size estimate as you change them.
Copy
Straight onto the clipboard as a real image. Paste into Slack, Jira, Notion, Figma, Word or an email without touching your disk.
One click into the browser print dialog, correctly scaled to the page — handy for physical sign-off and paper trails.
Coming soon
Upload & get link
Push the capture to your CaptureFlow cloud and get a short share link copied to your clipboard automatically.
Screen recording
Video, when a still image isn't enough
Some bugs only make sense in motion. Pick a source from the Record tab, press start, and get a share link or a download when you stop.
Record this tab
Video plus tab audio, captured without a screen-share prompt. Switch tabs and the recording keeps following the one you started.
Desktop or window
Record anything on your machine, not just the browser — with system audio and your microphone mixed in.
Custom area & camera
Drag a box and record just that part of the page, or record your camera on its own. For your face over your screen, use Studio.
Microphone & audio
Narrate as you go. Mic and system audio toggle independently, and denial of permission fails with a clear message rather than a silent dead end.
Pause, resume, cancel
A floating control bar with an elapsed timer. Pause to collect your thoughts; the result is still one clean, continuous file.
Preview, then share
When you stop, a preview opens: play it back, download the WebM, or upload it and copy a share link. Studio exports MP4 too.
Cloud & sharing
A link instead of an attachment
Upload a capture and get a short captureflow.pro/s/… link copied to your clipboard. The person on the other end just clicks — no app, no account, no 40 MB download.
- Streaming video pages that seek properly instead of buffering the whole file
- A dashboard listing every capture with thumbnails, view counts, rename and delete
- Comments from viewers, including timestamped comments on a video
- Chunked uploads so a large recording survives a shaky connection
- Delete means deleted — the link 404s immediately and the file is removed
captureflow.pro/s/9fK2xQ7p
Short, clean, and copied to your clipboard the moment the upload finishes.
