ZoomArc — Free Windows Screen Recorder with Auto-Zoom and Cursor Tracking

ZoomArc is a free screen recorder for Windows that automatically zooms in on your clicks, follows your cursor with smooth camera motion, and records at a true 60 fps. It records your screen or a single window, captures the real mouse cursor separately at 2,000 samples per second, and lets you restyle, re-time and export the result in a built-in non-destructive video editor — no video-editing experience needed.

It's built for product demos, software tutorials, walkthroughs, bug reports and how-to videos — the polished "zoom-on-click" style popularised by tools like Screen Studio, available natively on Windows.

Key features

🎯 Automatic zoom on clicks

ZoomArc detects every click and creates zoom segments for you. Nearby clicks are grouped into one smooth zoom instead of pumping in and out, and the camera stays zoomed while you keep working, then eases back out when the cursor settles. Every zoom can be moved, trimmed, split, re-scaled or deleted on the timeline. How auto-zoom works →

🖱️ Exact cursor tracking — 2,000 samples per second

The system cursor is kept out of the video and recorded separately, 2,000 times a second, on the same hardware clock as the video frames. In the editor it's redrawn exactly where your real cursor was — pixel-accurate, perfectly in sync — and you can resize it, swap in a custom cursor image, or add smoothing.

🎥 True 60 fps hardware recording

Screens and windows are recorded straight into a hardware-encoded H.264 MP4 using Windows Graphics Capture — the frames never pass through the app, so recordings stay smooth and in sync even on 120 Hz and 144 Hz displays.

✂️ Non-destructive editor

Trim, split and move clips; add backgrounds (gradients, colours, images, transparent), padding, rounded corners and shadows; overlay text, shapes, images and a resizable webcam bubble; change the output aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square and more). Nothing is re-encoded until you export.

⌨️ Keyboard-first editing

44 shortcuts for playback, editing and tools — press ? in the editor or use Help → Keyboard Shortcuts. Full list →
