Screen Recorder

Free Screen Recorder is a fast, easy-to-use video capture application that enables desktop and laptop users to configure exactly how they want to record the full screen or specific areas of their desktop or app surfaces.

It easily handles both video and audio recording, microphone audio feed, and is one of the best apps currently on the market for facilitating the reliable recording of desktop apps, OS tutorials, software demos, presentation videos, full-screen recordings of various content, and very popular video game gameplay recordings.



With all the tools and services present inside this 100% FREE application, the only limitation that can be found is in the creativity of the end-user.

The primary feature of the Screen Recorder desktop app is to facilitate the seamless recording of full-screen or user-defined areas. The app supports a wide array of video file formats (MP4, AVI, FLV, WMV, and H264), infusion of custom image watermarks, text overlays, dual-monitor detection, and support for recording in high resolutions and framerates (even 4K 60fps).

The straightforward functionality of Screen Recorder app is powered by its streamlined and easy-to-use interface. While the design and color of the app harken back to the early days of PC computing, the tools present in the app are more than comparable to many modern alternative apps.

The splash screen of the app features a no-nonsense tool for quick screen recording and just a few tools for tweaking – the recording area selection, audio feed picker, and output directory. But much more is hidden behind the Settings icon that activates an in-depth configuration screen with seven individual tabs – Target, Video, Audio, Watermark, Cursor, Screenshot, and Hotkey.



The number of options present in these tabs can enable everyone to customize and speed up their workflow, easily capturing the exact video files that are needed.

Starting and ending video recordings can be managed manually with Record tools inside the app, or much more easily with the help of keyboard shortcuts (Start, Pause, Stop, and Screenshot, all totally configurable).

Screen Recorder for Free is optimized for use on all versions of Microsoft Windows OS after (and including) Windows 7.

Users are recommended to free up as many resources as possible when recording videos since the high-resolution and framerate video presets can require a bit stronger hardware than is present in some older PC configurations.
