Kliper vs ShareX: capture the screen and edit the video in Kliper
Choose Kliper for screen recordings that need clip editing, captions, zooms and editable projects. See the practical differences from ShareX.
Kliper takes a screen capture through to an edited video. Record a walkthrough, combine another take, cut a mistake, add captions and save an MP4 without leaving its recording and editing workflow.
If a support answer needs more than a screenshot, Kliper gives you a timeline for the explanation: clips, timed text, sound and zooms that you can change before sharing.
Why choose Kliper when the result is a video
A saved recording is often only the start. In Studio, trim the source, insert another video and arrange your clips. Add a title and move it directly on the picture. Set text entrance or exit effects, or use a typewriter effect when it suits the explanation.
Use a privacy layer to cover a detail for the time it appears. Generate local captions after setup, correct the transcript, and export a new copy. The project keeps these changes editable for another version.
Keep captures and editing work together
Kliper also captures screens, windows and regions as screenshots. Its local library lets you find captures by names, tags, notes and bookmarks, and organize them with collections or favorites.
For video work, save a .kliper project and collect its media before moving it. New full-screen recordings with pointer data can generate editable zooms and click highlights. On Windows, separate captured microphone and computer sound can be adjusted in Studio.
Where the workflows differ
| Task | Kliper | ShareX |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | Windows and Apple Silicon Mac. | Windows. [1] |
| Capture workflow | Screenshots plus recording and a multi-clip editing timeline. | Screen/GIF capture and configurable after-capture tasks. [1] |
| Editing focus | Timed clips, captions, text, privacy layers and audio. | Screenshot annotation tools and local video playback. [2] [3] |
ShareX is free and open source, and can save captures locally. Kliper's focus here is the video work after capture: arranging clips, correcting captions and preserving an editable project.
