Your face in the frame
Faces hold attention. Your camera sits in a crisp circle — three sizes, four corners, draggable mid-take — composited into the video exactly as you saw it.
Free creator studio · runs entirely on your machine
Weft records your screen and your face, cuts the dead air, and hands you a post-ready MP4 — in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, or 16:9. No account, no watermark, no upload.
What’s in it
Faces hold attention. Your camera sits in a crisp circle — three sizes, four corners, draggable mid-take — composited into the video exactly as you saw it.
Trim the ums, split out the tangent, run the boring build at 2×. Tight edits are what keep people watching past the first five seconds.
Stack text callouts, drop in your logo, highlight what matters — and blur out the emails, tokens, and client names you’d rather not broadcast.
Export the same recording as 9:16 for Reels, 4:5 for the feed, 1:1, or 16:9 — cropping and panning to whatever matters in frame.
A small always-on-top window carries your camera, timer, pause, retake, and stop wherever you go. Botched the take? Restart instantly, same setup.
Not a policy — a constraint. Weft has no server to send anything to. Unreleased work, client demos, and half-finished takes never leave the room.
How it works
Pick a screen, window, or tab, check your camera and mic, and go. A 3-2-1 countdown gets you in; floating controls follow you everywhere.
Trim the ends, cut the tangents, speed through the slow bits, and layer on captions, your logo, or a blur box over anything private.
Pick your format, export an MP4 straight into your folder, and upload it anywhere — no watermark, no length cap, no “upgrade to export”.
The built-in editor
Drag the handles to trim. Split at the playhead and drop the dead air. Send the two-minute install to 2× while your voiceover stays at 1×. Then stack captions and a logo on top. The preview plays exactly what exports — and exports run on your machine’s hardware encoder, faster than real time.
No recording required
MP4, MOV, or WebM. It opens in the editor — trim it, caption it, reformat it for any platform, export it. Nothing uploads: the file is read in your browser and never leaves your machine.
Privacy
Not a frame. Not an audio sample. Not a thumbnail. Weft is a studio, not a pipeline — your video is born on your disk and stays there until you decide to post it. There is no “our servers”. There is only your folder.
FAQ
Completely. It runs in your browser on your own machine — no subscription, no watermark, no export limit, no account. There’s no server to pay for.
Anything built on a screen recording with you in it: tutorials, product demos, course lessons, code-alongs, client updates, talking-head explainers. Record it, cut the dead air, caption it, export it.
Yes — text callouts, image layers for your logo or an arrow, blur boxes to hide emails, tokens, and client names, and highlight boxes to draw the eye. Each layer has its own timing and is dragged into place on the preview.
Yes. Export to 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, 4:5 for the Instagram feed, 1:1 for square posts, or 16:9 for YouTube and LinkedIn. You choose how the recording fills the frame: crop to fill and pan to the part that matters, fit the whole frame with clean bars, or fit it over a blurred backdrop.
No. There is no backend. Recording, editing, encoding, and saving all happen locally, and finished MP4s are written straight into a folder you choose. Nothing is transmitted, so there’s nothing to leak or expire.
Chrome and Edge get the full experience — saving into your folder and the floating controls. Other browsers can still record; finished files arrive as downloads instead.
Loom uploads to its cloud and hands you share links behind an account, with limits on the free tier. Weft hands you the raw MP4 — unlimited, unwatermarked — plus an editor, but no hosting. Need hosted links? Use a cloud tool. Want the file, to post wherever you like? That’s Weft.
