A browser-native studio

The polished Screen Studio workflow, opened from a URL

Move from a real Chrome capture to guided zoom and a launch-ready export without changing machines, installing a Mac app, or rebuilding the story in another editor.

The recorder keeps the cursor path and click moments with the take, giving Studio real interaction data to polish instead of baking every movement into the pixels.

Everything you need to ship a demo video

The effects that make Screen Studio videos look polished, rebuilt around a browser workflow that anyone on the team can open.

FOCUS

Click-to-place zoom

Zoom into the exact part of the recording that matters so the viewer's eye follows the action. This is the signature effect that turns a raw capture into a guided walkthrough.

Screen and webcam recording

Record your screen on its own, or add your webcam alongside it for a personal narration track, all in the browser with nothing to download.

02

Device frames and window chrome

Wrap the recording in realistic device frames or macOS and browser window chrome, set over gradient and preset backgrounds for an on-brand finish.

03
Show the moment that matters
Keep the story clear

Captions, annotations, and stickers

Add captions with custom fonts, drop in annotations to call out details, and layer stickers where you need emphasis.

Every aspect ratio

Square, portrait, and landscape are all one click apart, so the same recording ships to social, YouTube, or a landing-page hero.

05
MP4WEBMGIF

MP4, WebM, and GIF export

Export MP4 and WebM for full-quality video, or a GIF for a lightweight autoplay loop. Ready-made demo-video templates give you an on-brand start.

When Screen Studio is the right call

Where the native Mac app wins

Screen Studio is a polished macOS desktop app, and a native app has genuine advantages a browser cannot always match. If you record long, high-resolution sessions that lean on local GPU rendering, want to keep working when the network drops, or care about the tightest possible native-Mac performance, Screen Studio is a strong, purpose-built choice. It is a paid app for a reason, and for heavy local video work that reason holds up.

Where Screenhance Studio pulls ahead

The moment you want to avoid a download, work on Windows or Linux, hand the tool to a teammate on a different OS, or just try it for free, the browser flow wins. Studio gives you the same click-to-place zoom, device frames, and captioned, on-brand output without installing anything, and it starts free with only a small watermark on free exports.

It also does more than record. Studio is the same tool that produces your App Store screenshots, your device mockups, and your OG images. So the demo video, the store gallery, and the launch graphics all come out of one place as part of Launch Kit. Screen Studio is a dedicated recorder; Studio is the whole launch-visual toolkit with recording built in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Screenhance Studio a good Screen Studio alternative?

Yes, if you want to record polished demo videos without installing anything. Screenhance Studio is a browser-based screen and webcam recorder with the signature click-to-place zoom, realistic device frames, captions, and MP4, WebM, and GIF export. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and it is free to start.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Studio runs entirely in your browser at app.screenhance.com/studio. There is no desktop app to install and no operating system lock-in, so you can record and edit on macOS, Windows, or Linux from the same link.

Does it have the zoom effect like Screen Studio?

Yes. Click-to-place zoom is the signature feature. You zoom into the exact part of the recording that matters so the viewer's eye is guided to the right spot, which is what makes a product demo feel intentional rather than a raw screen capture.

Can I record my webcam too?

Yes. You can record your screen alone or add your webcam alongside it, then wrap the recording in a realistic device frame or macOS and browser window chrome over a gradient or preset background.

What formats can I export?

Studio exports MP4 and WebM for video, plus GIF for lightweight loops. You can choose square, portrait, or landscape aspect ratios to fit social posts, YouTube, or a landing-page hero.

Is Screenhance Studio free, and is there a watermark?

It is free to start, and free exports include a small Screenhance watermark. Removing it from video takes the Pro plan at $12 per month or $99 per year; the $6 Launch Pass removes it from image exports only (10 over 7 days), so video stays watermarked on it.

When is Screen Studio the better choice?

Screen Studio is a paid macOS-only desktop app, and native apps have real advantages. If you record long, high-resolution sessions that lean on local GPU rendering, need to work fully offline, or want the tightest native-Mac performance, Screen Studio is a strong pick. Studio is the better fit when you want a browser tool, cross-OS support, and a free way to start.

Can Studio also make my App Store screenshots?

Yes. Studio is the same tool that produces your App Store screenshots, device mockups, and OG images, so every launch visual lives in one place. It is part of Screenhance Launch Kit.
