A Loom alternative that
never uploads your video.
Loom is great for quick shares — but it sends every recording to its cloud, wants an account, and caps the free plan. DemoZoom records locally, adds cinematic zoom, and gives you an MP4 you own.

When Loom is the better choice
If your workflow is built around instant hosted share links, viewer analytics (who watched, how far), and async team threads, Loom's cloud is what you want — that hosting is its whole point. DemoZoom is for the other case: you want a polished MP4 you control, with a cinematic zoom, that never leaves your machine. Different tools for different jobs — we'd rather be honest about it.
Why "no upload" matters
Every Loom recording is uploaded to a third-party server before you can share it. For a quick teammate clip that's fine — for a recording that shows customer data, an internal dashboard, credentials, or NDA work, it's a problem.
DemoZoom captures, edits and encodes entirely in your browser tab with the WebCodecs API. The MP4 is a file on your disk. Open DevTools → Network during an export and you'll see zero outbound traffic. You can also blur passwords and sensitive data before exporting.
FAQ
Is there a free Loom alternative with no watermark?
Yes. DemoZoom records your screen in the browser and exports an MP4 for free. A small watermark is on by default but removes for free in one click — no subscription, no account. Unlike Loom's free plan, there's no length cap or forced upload.
What's the main difference between DemoZoom and Loom?
Loom uploads every recording to its cloud and gives you a share link. DemoZoom processes everything locally and gives you an MP4 file you own — nothing is uploaded. DemoZoom also adds cinematic zoom; Loom does not. If you specifically need hosted share links and viewer analytics, Loom's cloud is the better fit.
Does DemoZoom upload my video like Loom?
No. Recording, editing and export all run in your browser via the WebCodecs API. You can confirm zero upload in Chrome DevTools → Network. That makes it safe for NDA, internal or sensitive recordings.
Do I need an account to use DemoZoom?
No. There's no sign-up and no install. Open the page in Chrome and click record. Loom requires an account even on the free plan.
