Your recordings never depend on your internet
Cloud recording tools stream your audio and video over the internet. When bandwidth dips, quality drops. Capturly records the master locally — so your files are always studio quality, with an optional encrypted cloud backup running alongside on Pro.
Cloud Recording
- Quality depends on internet speed
- Bandwidth dips cause audio dropouts
- Files uploaded to third-party servers
- Lost recordings from connection drops
Local Recording
Capturly- Full quality regardless of internet
- Zero audio dropouts or compression
- Your master copy stays on your device
- Solo recording keeps working offline
- Optional encrypted cloud backup on Pro for crash recovery

Common questions
Everything you need to know about Capturly
Every participant's master copy is recorded locally on their own device at full quality — so quality never depends on internet weather. With remote guests, you see live video previews of each other while everyone records locally. On Pro, Team, and Lifetime, an encrypted cloud backup runs alongside the local master so the recording is also safe if a machine crashes mid-session.
Pro, Team, and Lifetime users get 96 kHz / 24-bit uncompressed WAV audio on the desktop app — the same quality used in professional studios. Free and web sessions run at 48 kHz. Video is H.264 — up to 4K on Pro, Team, and Lifetime, and 1080p on Free — captured as separate per-participant tracks ready for any editor.
Solo recording works completely offline on the desktop app — perfect for on-location shoots or areas with spotty WiFi. Remote guest sessions and live cloud backup need an internet connection, but if your connection drops mid-session your local master keeps recording at full quality and the cloud backup picks up where it left off when you're back online.
Today, all plans export to MP4 (H.264 video) and WAV (PCM audio) as separate tracks — one audio file per microphone, one video file per camera. Additional export formats like ProRes and FLAC are on the roadmap but not shipping yet.
Pro, Team, and Lifetime include progressive cloud backup. While you record, an encrypted copy is streamed to your private cloud library so the recording is recoverable if your laptop crashes, restarts, or runs out of disk. Backups are TLS in transit and encrypted at rest in Google Cloud Storage. The Free plan records locally only — no cloud backup.
Recordings in your Library stay there for 30 days from the day they're saved. Multi-participant session uploads land in a 7-day transit bucket so the host can collect everyone's tracks; once you save a session to your Library, the 30-day clock starts. Download links can be re-issued at any time from the Library — there's no separate link-expiry to worry about as long as the recording is still in your Library.
Yes! Pro and Team subscribers can host sessions with up to 4 participants (you + 3 guests). Team adds a shared workspace where members can host their own Pro-quality sessions. Each participant runs Capturly and records locally at full quality.
Pro is for one host — perfect for indie podcasters who interview guests. Team is for crews, agencies, and podcast networks where multiple people need to host or produce. Team includes everything in Pro, plus a pooled 1 TB cloud transfer quota across the whole team, admin controls with roles (Admin / Editor / Viewer), an audit log, and a persistent studio room (see below). Team starts at 2 seats — from $38/mo.
A Studio is a persistent recording room with its own bookmark-able URL. Instead of generating a new invite link every time, your guests join the same room on every recording — they bookmark it once and you keep using it week after week. Studios include host management, a waiting room for guest approval, and per-studio defaults like join mode and welcome message. Available on Team — one studio per workspace.
A persistent room is designed for recurring shows where guests need a stable URL they can bookmark once and reuse for every episode. If you record one-off interviews, the free invite flow that ships with every plan is built for that. Team customers get a persistent studio as part of the same workspace that pools transfer quota and enables shared library access.
The Lifetime license gives you permanent access to the full-featured desktop app for solo recording. You get 96 kHz / 24-bit audio on desktop, up to 4K video, live cloud backup, the 30-day cloud library, 500 GB cloud transfer per month, no watermarks, and all future desktop updates. Recording with remote guests requires a Pro or Team subscription — Lifetime is solo-only by design.
Absolutely. The free Starter tier lets you record and export with a small Capturly watermark in the bottom-right corner of video exports. Pro and Team both come with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required. We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on annual subscriptions; monthly subscriptions are non-refundable but you can cancel at any time.
Capturly is purpose-built for recording — we do one thing and do it well. Your files export directly to your favorite editor like Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Descript, or any DAW. We focus on giving you the best possible source files.
Capturly ships native desktop apps for macOS 12 (Monterey) or later (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11 (64-bit) — both deliver the same studio-quality recording experience today. Native apps for iOS, Android, and Linux (Snap) are in development. Our Chrome extension for pre-call mic and camera checks is currently in testing.
