Checked against HowdyGo’s own pages on 30 October 2026

The short answer

HowdyGo’s free generator is a quick way to get a basic scrolling video: paste a URL, choose vertical, square or horizontal, and download an MP4, WebM or GIF. Website Scroll Video is built for when the video has to look finished: you control the length, the easing, the frame rate and the resolution up to 4K, add pauses and hover effects, remove cookie banners, capture scroll animations and frame the page on a background.

What HowdyGo is

HowdyGo’s main product is an interactive demo platform: you capture a flow through your app and turn it into a clickable tour that prospects step through, with lead capture and analytics, sold to marketing and sales teams after a 14-day trial. The scrolling website video generator is one of its free tools.

The free tool opens the page you give it remotely, so there is nothing to install, and offers three choices: the shape (vertical, square or horizontal), the format (GIF, WebM or MP4), and the URL. Its page does not list a resolution, frame rate, duration or speed control.

Where they differ

Both tools take a URL and give you a video without a screen recorder. The difference is how much of the video you get to decide.

Length and pace. In Website Scroll Video you set the duration, from 2 to 90 seconds, and the scroll speed follows it. You choose the curve too: Smooth, Glide, Linear or Pulse.
Quality. Up to 4K at 60 fps, or any exact pixel size. The page is read at double density, so text stays sharp at every size.
Choreography. Up to 6 pauses on the sections that matter, a cursor that travels to buttons and cards so their hover effects play, and holds at the start and end.
Clean-up. Cookie banners, chat launchers and newsletter modals are removed before capture, and anything else can be hidden by CSS selector.
Presentation. A Safari or Chrome frame, padding, rounded corners, a shadow, and a colour, gradient, preset or your own image behind it.

Price

HowdyGo’s scrolling video tool is free. Website Scroll Video gives every new account 51 free credits with no card, enough for a couple of short 1080p exports, then sells credit packs ($5 for 100, $12 for 400 and $19 for 900) that never expire. There is no subscription, every feature works from the first export, and no video is watermarked.

If HowdyGo’s output is all you need, it costs nothing and that is hard to beat. If you find yourself wanting one more setting, that is where the paid tool earns its keep. How credits work has the exact cost of each setting.
