Bandicam is a lightweight screen recorder for Windows that can capture anything on your PC screen as a high-quality video. It also allows you to record a certain area on a PC screen, or capture a game that uses the DirectX/OpenGL/Vulkan graphics technologies.

Bandicam will help you carry out a game capture with high compression ratio, while preserving the video quality of the original work, and provide performance far superior to other screen capture software that provide similar functions.

Bandicam compresses the video while recording and uses fewer CPU/GPU/RAM resources. It also fully supports the hardware accelerated h.264 encoder of Nvidia NVENC/CUDA, Intel Quick Sync video, and AMD VCE which allow videos to be recorded with high speed, high compression ratio, and excellent quality. As a result, there is less lag, and you can save your HDD and CPU.

Bandicam displays the FPS number in the corner of the screen while it is active in the 'Game Recording' mode. It also can record video at resolutions of up to 3840x2160 in high quality (2160P UHD video can be made), allowing your webcam stream to be simultaneously recorded and merged with the game / screen recording (Picture-in-Picture, Video-in-Video).

In addition, Bandicam supports mouse click effects and a real-time drawing function that allows users to draw lines, boxes, or highlights while recording their computer screen.

You can upload the recorded file to YouTube without converting because the recorded file size is 20% to 95% smaller than files created by other software.

Furthermore, Bandicam can simply remove the background of a webcam and make a Chroma Key video in real-time while recording. With the Chroma Key and webcam overlay function being used in conjunction with microphone recording, Bandicam has become the ideal screen recorder for making video tutorials or Let's Play videos.
