Features
What Clipy actually does
The whole point is to be the path of least resistance between “I should record this” and a link in someone’s inbox.
Tab, window, or full screen
Pick exactly what you want to share — a single Chrome tab, one window, or your whole desktop. The browser handles the picker; nothing weird to learn.
Microphone + system audio
Capture your voice, the audio coming out of the tab, or both. Useful when you need to narrate a bug repro and let the page audio play through.
In-browser editing
Trim the dead space at the start, cut the awkward middle, drop the last few seconds. No timeline software, no export wait — just save and share.
Instant share link
When you stop the recording you get a link. Drop it into Slack, paste it into a Linear ticket, send it to a customer. No upload spinner.
No install, no signup
Open the URL, click record, send the clip. No Chrome extension, no native app, no email/password to remember. Useful on machines you do not own.
MP4 / WebM download
Want the file, not just a link? Download the raw recording as MP4 or WebM and edit it however you like. No watermark, ever.
Workflow
From idea to share link in four steps
01
Open Clipy
Visit clipy.online in any modern browser. Nothing to install.
02
Pick what to record
Tab, window, full screen — plus microphone and system audio toggles. Two clicks.
03
Hit record
A floating toolbar gives you pause, resume, stop, and a live timer. Get out of your own way and just talk.
04
Share the link
Trim if you need to, then copy the share URL. Paste it into Slack, your PR, your support reply.
Who uses it
Built for people who explain things for a living
Software engineers
Reproduce a bug in 30 seconds and paste the link into the ticket — narration optional. Record an async standup so your timezone is not a calendar war. Walk a junior through your code review without scheduling another meeting.

Record a lecture, walk through a notebook, capture a tool demo. No watermark on the export means students see your work, not someone else’s logo. Share via link or download the MP4 and host it wherever.

A 45-second clip showing exactly which button to click beats a 600-word email every time. Send a Clipy link in your reply ticket — the customer plays it in-browser, no plugin install, and you stop repeating yourself.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Clipy really free?
Yes. Clipy is free to use — no trial, no credit card, no paid tier hiding behind the next click. It is Codersera’s contribution to the screen-recording space.
Do I need to install anything or sign up?
No. Clipy runs entirely in your browser. Open clipy.online, click record, and you are recording. No Chrome extension, no native app, no email/password.
What can Clipy capture?
A specific browser tab, a single window, or your entire screen — plus your microphone and system audio. The browser shows you a picker; you choose.
Is there a watermark on my recordings?
No watermark, ever. The MP4 / WebM you download is exactly what you recorded.
How long can I record?
Clipy is built for long-form recordings. There is no built-in 5-minute cap like the Loom free plan. Practical limits are your machine’s memory and disk — for typical 1080p recordings, plan in 30-minute chunks if you want fast in-browser trimming.
Can I edit the recording before sharing?
Yes. After you stop, Clipy gives you a basic in-browser editor — trim the start, trim the end, cut middle sections. Save when you are happy, and the share link reflects the trimmed version.
How do shareable links work?
When you finish a recording, Clipy generates a short URL. Anyone with the link can play the video in their browser — no plugin, no signup on their end. Or you can skip the link and just download the file.
What format are the downloads?
MP4 (H.264) and WebM are both available. MP4 is the safer choice for emailing to non-technical recipients; WebM is smaller and great for embeds.
Does Clipy work on Windows, Mac, and Linux?
Yes. Anywhere you have a modern Chromium browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc) Clipy works. Firefox and Safari support varies — Chromium is the smoothest path today.
Is Clipy private? Where do my recordings go?
Recordings stay in your browser session by default. If you generate a share link, the file is uploaded so the link can serve it. If you only download the file, nothing is uploaded. There are no ads and your recordings are not analyzed.
How does Clipy compare to Loom?
Clipy is simpler and free with no signup; Loom has a polished cloud library, viewer analytics, and team features behind a paid plan. If you want a fast, no-account way to capture and share, Clipy. If you want a managed video library with comments, transcripts, and SSO, Loom.
Is Clipy a good QuickTime / OBS replacement?
For quick clips and async sharing, Clipy is faster than both. For studio-grade multi-source recording (multiple cameras, scene switching, custom overlays), OBS is still the right tool — it is a different category.
