Emaki by AppzlrA Screenity alternative with free MP4 downloads
Emaki's screen recorder is free, needs no account and keeps the video on your computer, like Screenity's extension. Unlike Screenity, trimming and MP4 or GIF downloads are free too, and the same extension takes full page screenshots and turns a tab recording into a step-by-step guide. Emaki Pro, $10/month or $100/year, adds share links and auto-zoom; Screenity's editor, share links, MP4 export and auto-zoom are in its $120-a-year plan.

What Emaki does differently
Finish for free
Trim the ends off a recording, save it as MP4 or turn a few seconds into a GIF without paying or signing in. The online recorder saves every second as it goes, so a closed tab can be recovered.
Screenshots and guides in the same extension
Emaki also takes full page screenshots, captures the chats and feeds that scroll inside a page as one image, and turns a tab recording into a step-by-step guide with a screenshot for every click.
Your video stays yours
Recordings are made and kept in your browser. Nothing is uploaded unless you create a share link with Emaki Pro, and that copy is deleted when the link expires.
Auto-zoom without an editing session
With Emaki Pro, a tab recorded with the extension zooms in on every click by itself. Download it as an MP4 or share it as a link.
When Screenity may suit you better
- You draw, add arrows or blur on the screen while you record.
- You want a multi-scene editor with captions, layouts, backdrops and device frames.
- You want to retime zooms by hand or add your own.
- You want an open-source recorder.
Questions and answers
Is Emaki's screen recorder free like Screenity's?
Yes. Recording a tab, a window or your screen with your microphone and a webcam bubble is free, with no account and no watermark. Trimming and MP4 or GIF downloads are free too. Share links and auto-zoom are part of Emaki Pro.
Can I share a recording as a link?
Yes, with Emaki Pro ($10/month or $100/year). The video is uploaded as an MP4 of up to 95 MB, and the link stops working after 1, 7 or 30 days. Without Pro, download the MP4 and send it however you like.
Does Emaki zoom in on clicks?
Yes, with Emaki Pro: a tab recorded with the extension zooms in on every click by itself. The extension notes where the pointer clicks, never what's typed, and keeps that note with the recording on your computer.
Can I use Emaki and Screenity together?
Yes. They don't interfere with each other. Each one opens from its own toolbar icon.
