Recording Basics

Why browser recording is enough for most jobs

You don't need a studio to capture a good idea. The microphone in your laptop or phone, plus a quiet room, is enough for voice notes, song sketches, and quick reminders.

Browser recording uses the Web Audio API to capture directly from your microphone, keeping everything on your device. There's no upload, no account, and no export limit - just record and save.

For the cleanest result, keep the mic a consistent distance away, avoid touching the device while recording, and record a short test first to check the level before the real take.

Frequently asked questions

How does this audio recorder work?

It uses your browser's microphone access to capture audio, then lets you save it as the original WebM, MP3, or WAV.

Is my recording uploaded anywhere?

No. Recording happens entirely on your device, and the audio never leaves your browser.

What formats can I save as?

The original WebM recording, or converted MP3 and WAV files.

Is there a recording length limit?

No hard limit. You can record for as long as you need, though longer recordings use more memory.

Why is my microphone not working?

Make sure you've granted microphone permission in your browser, and that no other app is using the mic.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It works in any modern browser with a microphone, with nothing to download.
