When you record a browser tab, Zumie zooms in on what you click automatically, with a smooth cursor and click effects on top. No manual keyframes. Just record, tweak if you want, and export.
Chrome extension. No account needed. Free forever plan.
Automatic zoom in action — the camera follows every click and cursor movement smoothly.
The difference between a raw screen capture and a recording with automatic zoom is the difference between amateur and professional.
A full-screen recording at 1080p makes small UI elements nearly invisible — buttons become 10 pixels tall, text becomes unreadable, clicks are invisible. Automatic zoom pulls the viewer's attention to exactly where the action is.
Without auto zoom, achieving this effect means adding manual zoom keyframes in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve — a skilled editor might take 30 minutes per minute of footage. Zumie adds the zooms for you as soon as you stop recording.
The smooth zoom transitions give your recordings a produced, professional quality — like you hired a video editor. The difference between a raw screen capture and a Zumie recording is night and day.
Select tab recording and go about your task — navigate menus, click buttons, type in fields, use keyboard shortcuts. Don't think about zoom at all. Just do what you'd normally do.
While you record the tab, Zumie saves your cursor position, clicks, scrolls and key presses alongside the video. That tells it which part of the screen matters at each moment.
Zumie frames what you click and holds a steady shot while you work there, then zooms out when you scroll or jump to another part of the page. Transitions are smooth, no shaky camera.
The built-in editor opens with smart zoom pre-applied. You can adjust zoom levels, change timing, or switch to manual zoom for specific sections. Most of the time, the automatic zoom nails it on the first pass.
Automatic zoom works when recording a browser tab. For screen or window recordings — where Zumie can't track in-page interactions — you can add zoom manually in the editor. Drag zoom points to highlight specific areas, code snippets, or important details.
You get the best of both worlds: automatic zoom for tab recordings, and full manual control in the editor for everything else.
Spoiler: very few. Most screen recorders give you a flat, full-screen capture and call it a day.
