PROJECT OVERVIEW Ship a clearer demo.
Focused crop
Interactive illustration · crop the recorded content while the surrounding look stays in place.
A cleaner final frame
Make the recorded content fit the moment.
Cut away browser chrome, empty edges, or anything that distracts from the click you are explaining. Your chosen crop follows the video from the first frame to the last.
Keep the look
The central recorded area changes. Your padding, wallpaper, rounded corners, and shadow remain part of the composition.

Apply when it feels right, cancel a draft, reset the selection, or remove the crop later. The original project stays editable.

Crop, clarified
Is crop available now?
Yes. Crop is available in CursorClip 2.0.0 and later. Open your recording in the editor to adjust its frame.
When can I crop a CursorClip recording?
Crop your recording after you finish recording, directly in the editor. The crop applies across the whole video.
Does cropping remove my padding or background?
No. Crop changes the recorded video content inside the frame. Your padding, wallpaper or background image, rounded corners, and shadow stay in place.
Can I change or remove a crop later?
Yes. The original recording stays in your editable project. You can change or remove the crop, or use undo and redo.
Does crop change my canvas size?
With Auto canvas, the canvas follows the cropped recording’s aspect ratio. A canvas ratio you set explicitly stays fixed. Your padding and background settings remain applied.
Which crop ratios are supported?
Choose Free, Original, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, or 4:5 when setting your crop.
Record once. Refine the frame when you are ready.
