Record audio online, free and private

recorder.video works as a simple microphone recorder: pick a mic, press Record and talk. Each take is saved in your browser as you go; then you trim it and download the audio. Nothing is uploaded, you don’t need an account, and the tool doesn’t limit how long you can record.

Use it for voice memos, voiceovers, podcast drafts, interview answers, language practice or catching an idea before it goes. You can say no to camera access; the recorder still works with just the microphone.

How to record audio online

  1. Switch to audio only

    Allow microphone access, then turn the Camera off (or press C) so only the mic is live. If nothing is live yet, choose Audio, “Record microphone audio only”.

  2. Check your microphone

    Open the mic menu to pick a microphone and set noise suppression, echo cancellation and auto gain. The level meter on the mic button moves as you speak.

  3. Record, trim and download

    Press Record (or R), pause with P, and stop when you’re done. Trim the ends, then open the scene’s menu and choose Audio only to download the file.

What you can download

Each recording is a scene in the Scenes list. Open its menu to choose a download:

  • Audio only: an M4A (AAC) file when your browser records MP4, as recent Chrome, Edge and Safari do, otherwise WebM (Opus). Your trim is applied.
  • Everything combined: a video of your recording with an animated waveform, handy for sharing a voice clip where only video is accepted. Choose Audio under Layout, then pick one of 12 styles from the Waveform button.
  • Source tracks ZIP: the original microphone track, untouched.

There’s no MP3 or WAV export. M4A plays in most apps and editors. If a site insists on MP3, convert the file with an audio converter after downloading.

Clean sound without extra software

The mic menu exposes your browser’s built-in voice processing. Noise suppression reduces steady background noise like fans, echo cancellation removes sound picked up from your speakers, and auto gain evens out your level. All three are on by default, which suits speech. Turn them off when recording music or an instrument, so the browser doesn’t treat it as noise.

For the best voice recording, use a USB or headset microphone, wear headphones, and keep a steady distance from the mic. Watch the level meter: it should move clearly when you speak.

Recordings stay on your device

Audio is saved to your browser’s storage in chunks while you record, so a crash or a closed tab doesn’t lose the take: the scene is recovered when you come back. Nothing is sent to a server. Settings shows how much space your recordings use, and deleting scenes you’ve downloaded (and clearing old entries from recent exports) frees it again.

Need video as well? Try the webcam recorder or the full online screen recorder.

Recording questions

Is this online voice recorder free?

Yes. It’s free with no account, no watermark and no time limit set by the tool. Recording happens in your browser.

Can I record audio without turning on my camera?

Yes. Deny camera access or turn the Camera off (C), and only your microphone is recorded. If no source is live, choose Audio, “Record microphone audio only”.

What audio format will I get?

Audio only downloads are M4A (AAC) when your browser records MP4, as recent Chrome, Edge and Safari do, otherwise WebM (Opus). There is no MP3 or WAV export.

Is my recording uploaded anywhere?

No. Capture, trimming and downloads all happen in your browser, and recordings are stored in your browser’s storage until you delete them.

How long can I record?

The tool sets no limit. Recordings are stored in your browser, so the practical limit is the free disk space your browser allows this site, which you can check in Settings.

Can I record audio on my phone?

Yes. Mobile browsers let websites use the microphone, so you can record your voice on a phone or tablet and download the audio.

Can I record the sound from another tab or my computer?

Yes, as a screen recording. Click Screen, share a browser tab with its audio (or, on Windows and ChromeOS, an entire screen with system audio), then download Audio only to keep just the sound.

Can it turn my recording into text?

Yes. Transcribe a recording on your device with an AI speech model that detects about 99 languages. Your audio is never uploaded. Edit the transcript, then download it as an .srt or .vtt caption file. The model (about 75 MB) downloads once, the first time you use it. Automatic transcripts can make mistakes, especially with background noise, so read it through.
