Why Teams Love Explainr
Stop stitching together screenshots and writing long emails. Show exactly what you mean, in minutes.
Quick & Easy Annotation
Record your SaaS product walkthrough and annotate it in one flow. Callouts, highlights, labels — point at buttons, menus, or workflows so users instantly understand what to do.
Perfect for product tutorials, onboarding guides, and knowledge base videos your support team will thank you for.
Smooth Video Feedback
Drop timestamped comments directly onto a video and attach a quick voice note explaining the issue. Your team sees exactly where to look and hears exactly what you mean — no more vague tickets.
Great for design reviews, QA feedback, and async collaboration across time zones.
Quick Multi-Format Export
Hit export and get a finished video in MP4 or WebM at 1080p or 720p — annotations baked in, audio mixed, ready to upload. Renders faster than realtime so you're not stuck waiting.
Upload straight to YouTube, embed in your docs, or share with clients — no post-processing needed.
Built-in Voice Recording
Record narration while browsing, or add voiceover segments after the fact — each one precisely synced to the video. No need for a separate audio tool; just press V and talk.
Noise suppression and echo cancellation built-in, plus automatic AI transcription of every voice note.
Edit Your Timeline Your Way
A multi-track timeline puts you in full control. Drag annotation blocks to move them in time, resize their duration with edge handles, and rearrange voiceover segments — all with instant visual feedback. Overlapping items automatically stack so nothing gets hidden.
Think of it like a lightweight video NLE focused on one thing: making your explanations clear.
