FastCapture - Capture, record and annotate your screen - fast.

FastCapture is a free Chrome extension for screen recording, screenshots and annotation. Record your tab, desktop or camera and export as MP4 or GIF. Capture full pages or regions, annotate with drawing tools, blur sensitive content, and share instantly. Everything is processed locally - no external servers. Pro features include unlimited recording, MP4/GIF export, custom FPS, and advanced annotation tools.

Hi everyone! I built FastCapture because I was tired of switching between separate tools for screen recording, screenshots, and annotation. Most existing extensions either upload your data to external servers, require subscriptions for basic features, or are just too bloated. FastCapture keeps everything local in your browser - no accounts needed for the free tier, no data leaving your machine. You can record your tab, full screen or webcam, capture screenshots of any region or full page, and annotate directly on the page with drawing tools, arrows, text, blur and more. I spent a lot of time making the annotation system feel native and responsive - it's built on a custom fork of tldraw v1. The side panel mode lets you keep your annotation toolbar out of the recording frame, which was a challenge to get right with Chrome's extension APIs. Would love to hear your feedback - what features would you find most useful?
