Free · No extension · Precise zoom
Zoom where the story is,
not where the mouse was.
Cursorful follows your cursor and zooms as you record — through every stray wiggle. DemoZoom records clean, then you place each zoom exactly where it belongs. No extension, free, and nothing leaves your browser.

When Cursorful is the better choice
If you want zero decisions — hit record and let the zoom follow your pointer — Cursorful's live cursor-following is genuinely convenient. DemoZoom is for when the final video matters: you direct the camera, cut the silence and filler words, blur the secrets, and export exactly the demo you meant to make.
FAQ
What's a good Cursorful alternative without a Chrome extension?
DemoZoom. It records from a normal web page — no extension to install or grant permissions to — and adds cinematic zoom you place yourself. Free, no sign-up, export is a local MP4.
How does the zoom differ from Cursorful's?
Cursorful zooms by following your cursor during the recording. DemoZoom lets you decide after recording: click the exact spot and moment for each zoom (with an optional frame-analysis auto-zoom), tweak amount and hold, and preview before export. The camera goes where the story needs it — not everywhere the mouse wandered.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Recording, editing and export run entirely in your browser via WebCodecs — the video never leaves your device. Verify it yourself in DevTools → Network.
Can I edit a recording I already have?
Yes — Import mode accepts MP4, MOV and WebM files (phone recordings, OBS footage), so you can add zoom to footage that wasn't captured in DemoZoom.
