Record any tab. Get a narrated how-to video.
The Explaino Chrome extension is an AI screen recorder for people who explain software. Record a task once; Explaino writes the script, adds the voiceover, zooms in on every click and drafts the written guide.
Quick answer
The Explaino Chrome extension records any browser tab with your microphone, then Explaino Studio turns the recording into a narrated how-to video with smart zoom on clicks, captions and an AI voiceover, plus a step-by-step article with screenshots. It is free to install, and the voiceover can be translated into 70+ languages.

What you get from one recording
AI voiceover
Your rough narration becomes a clean script read by a natural AI voice, or keep your own voice.
Smart zoom on clicks
Every click and typed field is tracked, so the video zooms in on the right spot without keyframes.
Captions
Captions are generated from the script and stay in sync with the voiceover.
Step-by-step article
The same recording becomes a written guide with a screenshot for each step, ready for your help center.
70+ languages
Translate the voiceover and captions into 70+ languages from the same recording.
AI website walkthrough
Give Explaino a website and a goal, and its AI agent can click through the flow and record the narrated walkthrough for you.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Explaino Chrome extension free?
Yes. The extension is free to install and works with the free Explaino plan. Paid plans add AI voiceover, branded exports and translation into 70+ languages; see the pricing page for current limits.
What can the extension record?
It records a Chrome tab together with your microphone. To record other apps or your whole desktop on Windows or macOS, use the Explaino desktop app.
Do I have to narrate while I record?
No. You can talk through the steps or record silently. Explaino writes the script from your narration and on-screen actions, and you can edit it before the AI voiceover is generated.
How is Explaino different from Loom?
Loom shares a recording as it was captured. Explaino edits it for you: it rewrites the narration into a script, replaces it with an AI voiceover, zooms in on clicks, adds captions and also produces a written step-by-step guide from the same recording.
What data does the extension access?
Only the tab you choose to record and the page events needed for the edit (clicks, typed fields, scrolls) while a recording is running. Recordings are processed on VocalLabs infrastructure; see the privacy policy and the VocalLabs Trust Vault for security documentation.
