Screen Recorder

Record a tab, window or your whole screen to WebM, with optional system or mic audio.

Record Your Screen Without Installing Anything

Screen recorders are a category where "free" usually means a watermark, a five-minute limit, an account, or an upload to someone else’s storage. All four are unnecessary: the browser has had native screen capture and media recording for years.

This recorder uses those APIs directly. Your browser asks what you want to share and shows its own recording indicator throughout — controls we cannot override, which is exactly as it should be. The video is assembled on your device and saved locally, with no watermark and no time limit beyond your disk space.

Key features

  • Screen, window or tab — the browser’s own picker decides what is shared, and you can stop it at any time from there.
  • Optional audio — capture system or tab audio, or your microphone for narration.
  • No watermark, no limit — the output is your recording and nothing else.
  • Quality settings — three bitrate presets, because a screencast of text needs far less data than one of video.
  • Preview before saving — the recording plays back in the page before you download it.
100% client-side — no data leaves your machine

This tool runs entirely inside your browser using native Web APIs. Your files and text are never uploaded to a server, never logged and never shared with third parties.

How to use: Screen Recorder

  1. Choose your audio
    None, system audio, or microphone for voiceover. Pick before starting, as it becomes part of the stream.
  2. Start and pick a source
    Your browser opens its picker so you can choose a screen, window or tab. Recording begins as soon as you confirm.
  3. Stop when finished
    Use the stop button here, or your browser’s own "Stop sharing" control — both end the recording cleanly.
  4. Review and download
    Watch it back in the preview, then save the WebM to your device.

Frequently asked questions

Why WebM rather than MP4?

WebM with VP8 or VP9 is what browsers can record natively. Some can produce MP4; the tool picks the best available format automatically. WebM plays in every modern browser and every major editor imports it.

Does this work on iPhone or iPad?

No. Screen capture via getDisplayMedia is not available on iOS at all. Use the system screen recorder in Control Centre instead.

Can I record a video call?

You can capture the window, and system audio if your browser allows it. Whether you may record other participants is a legal and ethical question that varies by jurisdiction — in many places all parties must consent.

Is the recording uploaded?

No. Chunks are collected in memory and assembled into a file on your device. There is no upload and no server.

Why is my file so large?

Screen recording at high bitrate produces a lot of data. Use the standard quality preset for text and slides, which look identical at a fraction of the size.
