Why people switch
What BaseShot does differently.
Screenshots that explain too.
Annotate screenshots with arrows, step counters, spotlight, and redaction, and share them from the same library as your videos.
Edit before you share.
A desktop editor adds automatic zoom, cursor effects, noise reduction, and captions, and exports MP4 or GIF up to 4K.
Where Loom still shines
- It has a browser extension and mobile apps, so you can record without installing a desktop app.
- It includes AI features such as automatic titles and summaries on higher plans.
- It is widely used, so many recipients already know how it works.
