Make every screenshot work harder
AI Wand
Your best visual is already in the picture. Isolate an object with AI and turn it into a reusable cutout for slides, guides and creative work.
Grab Text
Let your screenshot do the typing. Bring words from the screen into your next email, document or form with local English text recognition.
Guides
Answer once. Help again and again. Bring screenshots and instructions together in a reusable guide for onboarding, support and everyday know-how.
A recording is only the beginning
Video Studio brings motion, captions and AI voices into the same workspace. Add 7 distinct motion-background designs, focus each click and build interactive lessons.
Motion
Give your story momentum. Editable pans, zooms and reveals turn a still screen into a walkthrough that leads the eye.
Captions
Keep the story moving with the sound off. Editable captions and word highlighting make each spoken step easier to follow.
AI voices
Give your ideas a voice without another recording session. Local English AI narration brings scripts to life with a default voice or a permitted voice profile.

Spotlight, Magnifier, Smart Move, Simplify, Steps, Blur and Redact: give every detail a clearer purpose. Open a screenshot to see the tool in action.
Spotlight
Make the important part impossible to overlook. Keep the context, quiet the surroundings and point every reader toward the right detail.
Magnifier
Give small details the attention they deserve. Enlarged labels and close-ups make explanations easier to understand at a glance.
Smart Move
Make your next idea visible. Reposition elements in a screenshot and share a clearer picture of the layout you have in mind.
Simplify
Less visual noise. More understanding. Turn a busy screenshot into a focused teaching moment with only the labels that matter.
Steps
A clear next step changes everything. Numbered markers turn a quick screenshot into an explanation people can follow with confidence.
Blur
Keep the context without every distracting detail. Pixelated regions help your screenshot stay focused on the message.
Redact
Share the useful part of the conversation. Review suggested sensitive text and custom phrases, then cover the selected lines in your exported screenshot.

Blur & Cutout, seven motion backgrounds, Lessons, Cursor & focus, and Transcripts help you finish the story. Explore the examples below.
Blur & Cutout
Put the subject in the spotlight. Regional blur, chroma key and optional AI foreground tracking give your footage a cleaner setting and a clearer point of view.
Motion backgrounds
Give every intro a little atmosphere. Seven built-in motion-background designs add color and movement to titles, announcements and product demos.
Lessons
Make learning an active experience. Chapters, quizzes and clickable hotspots turn an exported HTML lesson into something viewers can explore. SCORM 1.2 packaging supports LMS delivery.
Cursor & focus
Every click can tell the story. Cursor highlights and editable focus zooms help viewers follow the action on a busy screen.
Transcripts
Find the sentence. Shape the story. Timed transcripts connect the words to the footage, making it easier to navigate and tighten a demonstration.
