FBX review
A low-cost Windows recorder with replay, editing, streaming, and a paid watermark-free tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FBX is Windows desktop software for recording and streaming gameplay. It suits players and creators who want manual recording, quick clips, screenshots, webcam overlays, audio capture, editing, and YouTube sharing in one application. Recording can be started, stopped, or paused manually, while fullscreen and game capture modes cover different recording setups. The software also supports live streaming and hardware-accelerated encoding through compatible NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel graphics hardware.
Its pricing keeps the core workflow accessible. The Free plan includes recording, editing, customization, and export/sharing, along with features such as markers, GIFs, captions, stickers, and effects. The trade-off is an FBX video watermark. Pro Annual Subscription costs $19 per year and removes the watermark. Pro Lifetime License costs $49 as a one-time payment, removes the watermark, and includes all future updates. For creators who publish regularly, the lifetime option avoids recurring billing; occasional users can start with the Free plan if the watermark is acceptable.
Quick clips are the standout feature: FBX can save the preceding few seconds of gameplay, which is useful for capturing moments without recording an entire session. The editor adds clips, GIF creation, captions, stickers, and effects before MP4 export or YouTube upload. FBX is a sensible pick for Windows users who want a low-cost recorder with basic editing and replay. It is less suitable for anyone who needs watermark-free exports on the Free plan, support beyond Windows, or a wider set of listed platform integrations.
