7FramesAI screen recorder for Chrome

The AI screen recorder that zooms in on every click

Record your screen, a tab or your camera with the free 7Frames Chrome extension. Every click zooms in on its own, and each recording becomes a video, a step-by-step guide and answers your team can search. Capture and redaction run on your device by default.

What is 7Frames?

7Frames is an AI screen recorder and screenshot tool that runs as a Chrome extension. It records a tab, an area or the whole screen with your camera and microphone, zooms in on every click automatically, and turns the recording into a shareable video, a step-by-step guide or SOP, and a developer bug report. Transcription runs in your browser, and nothing uploads until you choose to share.

The 37-second tour: capture, mark up and a guide made from a recording.

How 7Frames works: one recording, from click to fix

Follow one recording through 7Frames: a failed payment caught on screen, explained, turned into a guide and a bug report, then shared with exactly the right people.

00:00Capture

Record a tab, an area or your whole screen, with camera and mic

Choose what to capture from the toolbar: a screenshot of a region or a full page, or a recording of a tab, an area, or the screen with your camera. Draw on the screen while you record, and pause when you need to.

  • A draggable camera bubble with on-device background blur in clean, glow or soft styles
  • Draw live while recording: pen, arrow, spotlight and shapes
  • MP4 on Chrome 130 and up, and looping GIFs rendered on your device

00:06Auto-zoom

Every click zooms in on its own, with no editing

7Frames follows your cursor and turns each click into a smooth zoom, with a spotlight cursor and a click ripple, so viewers see exactly what you pressed. Studio frames and backdrops wrap the raw recording, and captions are synced word by word.

Smart Edit suggests cuts for silence and filler words. You review every cut, and the original recording stays untouched.

  • Auto-zoom, spotlight cursor and click ripple
  • Word-synced captions
  • Split-view comparison you adjust by dragging a divider

Click retry payment and the invoice clears in a second

00:12Mark up

Mark up screenshots with arrows that stay attached

Add arrows, text, shapes, numbered steps, blur, pixelate and crop. Arrows stay anchored to the text and shapes they point at, so the markup re-flows when you move or resize things.

Before anything leaves your machine, on-device redaction finds and masks emails, phone numbers, card numbers, API keys and JWTs, and bakes the mask into the exported pixels.

  • Smart anchors that stay linked
  • Blur and pixelate for anything private
  • Masks baked into the exported image

00:17Ask AI

Ask the recording a question and jump to the answer

Transcription runs Whisper in your browser, so audio never has to leave your machine. 7Frames marks the key moments as chapters, writes a summary with action items, and titles the recording for you.

Viewers can ask a shared recording a question. Answers come only from that recording's transcript, each pointing to the moment it comes from, and captions translate on demand.

  • Searchable transcript: find any word and jump to it
  • Chapters, summary and action items
  • Translation into English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Hindi

Send developers a bug report they can act on

A 7Frames bug report carries what engineering asks for: console errors with stack traces, network requests and HAR with headers and timing, a performance summary, storage and environment details, a timeline of clicks and inputs, and a screenshot of the failure.

Secrets are redacted on your device, then the report goes to Jira, GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion or Confluence.

Share one link and decide exactly who can open it

Copy a link in one click and choose one of five access modes. Set an expiry, block downloads behind a confidential watermark, and revoke the link at any time.

Viewers need no account. They watch, react and leave comments pinned to a moment, and you see views, watch progress and the most rewatched moments. A request link lets anyone record into your workspace from their browser, with no extension or account.

  • Five access modes on every link
  • Comments, @mentions and reactions at a timestamp

“Not listed” means the product's pricing page does not show the feature. Loom: loom.com/pricing, monthly prices. Awesome Screenshot: awesomescreenshot.com/pricing. 7Frames: 7frames.ai/pricing.

Is 7Frames a good Loom alternative?

Yes, if you record to explain, document or report bugs. 7Frames keeps what Loom users rely on, instant share links, transcripts, summaries and viewer analytics, and adds capture on your device, five access modes per link, developer bug reports and guides written from the recording. Paid plans start at $7 per seat a month billed yearly, where Loom Business is $18 per user a month and its AI features need the $24 Business + AI plan. Loom's free plan allows 5-minute recordings, the 7Frames free plan 4 minutes.

Is 7Frames a good Awesome Screenshot alternative?

Yes, if you want screenshots and recordings in one tool with AI on top. Like Awesome Screenshot, 7Frames captures regions and full pages, annotates them and records tabs, areas and the screen. It adds AI chapters and summaries, guides and SOPs written from a recording, bug reports with console and network data, and access control on every link. Awesome Screenshot's free plan allows 100 screenshots, the 7Frames free plan has unlimited screenshots and annotations.

Compare every plan on 7frames.ai

Is 7Frames free?

Yes. The free plan has unlimited screenshots and annotations, screen recordings up to 4 minutes, 20 AI minutes a month, developer bug reports with screenshots, cloud share links and 500 MB of storage, with no watermark and no credit card. Paid plans start at $7 per seat a month, billed yearly.

Is 7Frames a free alternative to Loom?

Yes. 7Frames has a free plan with unlimited screenshots and recordings up to 4 minutes, AI chapters and summaries included. Compared with Loom, it adds capture on your device by default, five access modes for every link, developer bug reports and guides written from a recording.

Does 7Frames upload my screen to the cloud?

No, not unless you choose to. Capture and redaction run on your device by default, and cloud is opt-in for each capture. A recording you keep local is never processed in the cloud.

Which browsers does 7Frames work in?

7Frames is a Chrome extension and works in Chrome and other Chromium browsers. Recording to MP4 needs Chrome 130 or later.

Can 7Frames record my camera and microphone?

Yes. Record a tab, an area or the whole screen with your microphone and a draggable camera bubble, with background blur done on your device in clean, glow or soft styles.

How does the AI in 7Frames work?

Transcription runs Whisper in your browser, so audio does not have to leave your machine. 7Frames then marks chapters, writes a summary and action items, translates captions and answers questions about a recording using only its transcript. AI is optional.

Can I turn a screen recording into an SOP or a how-to guide?

Yes. Generate Studio reads the clicks and screens in a recording and writes a step-by-step guide or SOP with a screenshot and the real click on every step. Export it to PDF, Notion, Confluence, Markdown or HTML, or publish it as an interactive demo.

Can developers get console and network logs with a bug report?

Yes. A 7Frames bug report includes console errors with stack traces, network requests and HAR, a performance summary, storage and environment details, the steps taken and a screenshot, and it can be pushed to Jira, GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion or Confluence.

Who can open a 7Frames share link?

You choose for each link: anyone with it, people with a password, signed-in 7Frames users, an email-domain allow-list, or named viewers checked on every open. You can also set an expiry, block downloads and revoke the link at any time.

What video quality does 7Frames record?

Up to 4K. Viewers get auto-quality playback that starts fast and never upscales.

Can I cancel 7Frames anytime?

Yes. Plans can be cancelled anytime, and your data can be exported in one click.
