Pagecorder is an API that records your web page as video, including screen and audio. It's performance-oriented and supports 60 FPS at 4K. Just add two JavaScript calls to your page to signal the start and end of the recording, post the link (or a self-contained ZIP bundle) to the API, and voilà! Use it for social video from HTML templates, animated dashboards, product demos, or CSS/Canvas/WebGL motion graphics. Recordings are billed per second. Failed jobs are free.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Philippe, and I built Pagecorder because turning web content into video has always been unnecessarily painful. Existing tools like Puppeteer don't support recording video and audio in a simple, hardware-accelerated way.
Pagecorder takes a different approach: run your page in a real browser with GPU rendering, capture screen + audio natively at 60 FPS, deliver an MP4. The entire integration is two JavaScript calls on your page and one API request.
A few design decisions I'm proud of:
- ZIP archive mode: bundle your HTML + assets, host the ZIP, and get fully reproducible recordings with no network jitter or CDN flakiness.
- Every job returns dropped frames, HTTP errors, and console logs for debugging. No black-box failures.
- 5 minutes free per month for testing, then per-second billing.
- Supports any resolution up to 4K. Even weird ones like 1234×2345. Go wild!
Some things people are using it for: generating social media video from HTML templates, recording animated dashboards, automating product demos, rendering CSS/Canvas/WebGL motion graphics as MP4.
Fun fact: Pagecorder was actually built to record YouTube content, and that's still its #1 use case in production today. The pipeline is fully scriptable: generate your video as an HTML page (CSS, Canvas, or WebGL), add two JavaScript calls, POST to the API, get back an MP4 ready to upload. 60 FPS with audio, any resolution up to 4K, including the 1080×1920 vertical format YouTube Shorts wants.
The entire render-to-MP4 step becomes one API call. No video editor, no ffmpeg, no headless browser juggling.
What would you build with it? Happy to dig into into the technical details (browser setup, GPU pipeline, why ZIP archives beat live URLs) and answer any questions in the comments.

The ZIP archive mode is the detail that tells me you've actually run this in production. Network jitter and CDN flakiness are exactly how "it worked in testing" becomes "why is frame 47 blank." Reproducible recordings are underrated.
The per-second billing with free failed jobs is also the right call. Nothing kills API adoption faster than paying for broken renders while you're still figuring out the integration.
Honest question: at 60 FPS 4K, what does latency look like on a typical job? That's the number that'll determine whether this fits into a real-time pipeline or stays a batch process.

Who hunted Pagecorder?
Pagecorder was hunted by Philippe Schommers. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
