Our verdict on FastCapture
FastCapture is a browser extension for recording browser tabs, desktop screens, windows, regions, or webcam-only video. It suits browser users who need quick capture and annotation tools without moving to a separate recording workflow. Recordings can combine a movable webcam overlay with microphone, tab, or system audio, while screenshots can cover visible areas, full scrolling pages, regions, or all open tabs. It works with Chrome and Chromium-based browsers including Edge, Brave, and Opera.
The Free plan costs $0 and includes screen recording, WebM export, webcam overlay, microphone and tab audio, and screenshots. It also supports capture controls such as pause, resume, discard, and configurable recording frame rates. The Pro plan adds MP4 and GIF export, unlimited recording duration, 60 FPS recording, extended capture history, and additional annotation tools. Annotation options include drawing, text, arrows, shapes, blur, and a laser pointer. The published plans make FastCapture suitable for basic recording and screenshot work, with Pro aimed at users who need longer or more flexible exports and expanded capture history.
FastCapture keeps capture history and preferences locally in the browser, and it can share captures through Gmail. Its export options cover WebM, MP4, and GIF for recordings, plus PNG, JPG, WebP, or PDF for screenshots. The main fit is browser-centered capture across tabs, windows, regions, and pages. Choose it if those workflows, local browser storage, and Gmail sharing meet your needs. Choose an alternative if you require broader listed integrations, a delivery model beyond a browser extension, or desktop audio capture that does not depend on the operating system.
