Online voice recorder

Free online voice recorder

Record audio right in your browser — pause and resume as you go, play it back, and download the file. No install, no sign-up, and nothing leaves your device.

Ready to record

Your audio stays in this browser. Download your recording to keep it before closing or refreshing this page.

Record, pause, download

Press record and the tool captures audio from your microphone using the browser's built-in MediaRecorder. Pause when you need to think and resume without starting over. When you stop, you get an inline player to review the take and a one-click download so you can save it as an audio file and use it anywhere — voice notes, memos, audition clips, language practice, or a quick message.

Good for

Quick voice memos and reminders
Practising a talk, pitch, or pronunciation
Recording feedback or audio messages to send
Capturing an idea before it slips away

Download your recording before leaving

Frequently asked questions

Is this voice recorder free?

Yes. Recording, playback, and download are free, with no account required. There is no fixed time limit, but long recordings depend on available memory and browser stability.

What audio format does it download?

It saves in the format your browser records natively — usually WebM (Opus), and M4A/MP4 in some browsers like Safari. The download's file extension matches automatically.

Is my audio uploaded to a server?

No. The entire recording is captured and saved in your browser. Nothing is sent to us or any third party.

Can I pause and resume a recording?

Yes. Use Pause to stop temporarily and Resume to continue the same recording; the timer reflects only the recorded time.

Where is my recording after I reload?

Download your recording before refreshing or closing the page to keep a copy. Recordings stay in the current page and are cleared when it closes.

Which browsers are supported?

The latest Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari support in-browser recording. The page must be served over HTTPS to use the microphone.
