Penreel — Draw While Recording

Draw, blur and caption right on your video while you film — what you see is what you get, no editing. Includes shape masks, privacy blur brushes and segmented recording.

Penreel puts a pen inside your camera.

While you film, you can draw straight onto the shot — everything you draw, write or stick is burned into the video in real time. What you see is exactly what you get, with no editing app required.

▸ Draw while you record — 6 brushes Pen, marker, pencil and more, with adjustable size, color and opacity, plus a neon glow effect. Made a wrong stroke? Tap the floating undo button to remove just the last one — every other stroke stays intact.

▸ Privacy brushes: mosaic & blur Not a static sticker — paint mosaic or blur straight onto the live camera feed, exactly where your finger moves. Hide passersby, license plates, IDs or kids' faces, with strength from a soft touch to a full block.

▸ Segmented recording — no editing Pause anytime mid-recording, change the scene, then resume. Clips are automatically stitched into one continuous video, with the paused gaps removed, and exported as a single MP4.

▸ Shape masks Circle, rounded rectangle, star, heart and triangle — the inside stays clear while the outside is covered with a color of your choice, for spotlight or vintage viewfinder effects.

▸ Text, stickers & emoji Up to 6 independent text items, each with its own font, size, color and position. Separate slots for photo stickers and emoji, both freely scaled and placed.

▸ Info overlay (HUD) Optionally show date, time, a recording timer, GPS speed and altitude — great for sports and travel.

▸ Cinematic LUT color Built-in LUT filters, plus your own .cube files, applied live as you record.

Made for short-video creators, vloggers, tutorials, and family or travel memories. What you see is what your video becomes — saving you a whole round of post-production.
