ZD Screen Recorder SDK Q & A

Why opt for ZD Screen Recorder SDK instead of building from scratch?

While basic screen recording features might be manageable for a senior programmer, creating a practical, lag-free, and efficient solution presents significant challenges, such as high CPU usage, frame drops, and audio/video sync issues. Our SDK, developed over more than a decade and comprising over 50,000 lines of C++ code, ensures you save time and resources. It enables you to implement high-quality screen recording features quickly and easily.

Is it possible to use your SDK to create and globally sell my own branded screen recording software, both online and offline?

Yes, with a commercial license for ZD Screen Recorder SDK, you are free to create and globally sell your own branded screen recording software. The market for screen recording technology offers numerous opportunities. While we can’t cater to every scenario, we encourage developers to use our SDK to develop diverse applications and tap into these profitable markets.

Are there any royalty fees for software sales developed using your SDK?

No, there are no royalty fees. Software developed with the commercially licensed ZD Screen Recorder SDK is completely royalty-free.

What distinguishes the free version of the SDK from the paid version?
