If your question isn't answered here, you can email support.
Will my videos be uploaded to Cursorful's servers?
No, unless you explicitly opt in to cloud features (coming soon), videos never leave your machine. Videos are rendered locally inside your browser and are saved directly to your computer.
Do you support Firefox?
Unfortunately Firefox is not supported due to missing features in their browser and extension architecture.
What triggers the automatic zoom?
Auto zoom is triggered when two or more clicks happen within a 3 second time window. The follow-cursor zoom is maintained as long as clicks keep happening.
The reason for the two-click requirement instead of one is to avoid a lot of zooming in and out that is overwhelming and makes people with motion sickness nauseous.
You can add, remove and adjust zooms using the editor after the recording is complete.
Does Cursorful record the entire desktop or just the browser?
Cursorful records the entire desktop and then automatically crops the recording to your browser. If you Alt-Tab to another application, Cursorful will continue recording whatever is on your screen.
However, when another application is in focus, follow-cursor and automatic zooms will not work because browser extensions are not allowed to listen to mouse events that happen outside the browser viewport. You can still add fixed zooms using the editor after the recording is complete.
Cursorful desktop applications that can record any application with follow-cursor and automatic zooms are coming Q2 2025.
Do you offer a student discount?
No, sorry. The Cursorful Pro license on offer right now is a lifetime deal that already includes a massive $40 early bird discount.
Given the significant costs required to support future cloud features like link sharing and cloud rendering, we're unable to offer additional discounts at this time.
The Cursorful Pro license includes lifetime access to all offline features and 1-year of access to cloud features (starts from day of first cloud feature release).
