What you get

Turn your screen activity into annotated tutorials and demos.

With Capto, you can turn what you do on your Mac into a tutorial, workshop recording, or product demo. Capture your entire screen or just the area you want viewers to see, include your camera feed, and make mouse clicks visible so your audience can follow your actions.

You can cut unwanted sections, add voiceover and annotations, and fade audio in or out without moving a simple recording into another editor. When recording your desktop, you can hide icons or replace the background to keep clutter and sensitive file names out of view.

You also get screenshots you can prepare for presentations, blog posts, or instructions. Capture a window, menu, browser, selected area, or the whole screen, then crop the image and add text, shapes, or highlights to point out what matters.

  • Make steps easier to follow

    You can show mouse clicks, add annotations, and explain your actions with a voiceover or camera overlay.
