Record your voice in the browser, trim it, and save it as WAV, M4A or the original file
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Checked against sources on 15 Oct 2026.A browser voice recorder turns your microphone into an audio file without an app or an upload. Press record, pause as often as needed, play it back, trim the ends, then save the original (about 0.25 MB a minute), a WAV (about 5.8 MB a minute) or an M4A.
Choose a microphone if you have more than one, and leave Reduce background noise on for speech.
Press Start recording and allow the microphone; watch the level bar move as you speak.
Use Pause and Resume as needed, then press Stop and play the recording back.
Trim the start or end if you want, pick Original, WAV or M4A, and press Save; nothing is uploaded.
This page records your microphone into a sound file and keeps it in the page until you save it. There is no account, no time limit set by us, and nothing is sent anywhere: the browser hands the microphone to the page, the page writes the file, and it only leaves when you press Save.
MP3 is not offered: no browser includes an MP3 encoder, and the free ones carry a licence this site does not take on.
The bar under the timer shows how loud the microphone is. It turns amber near clipping and grey when almost nothing is arriving. Reduce background noise switches on the browser's own echo cancellation and noise suppression, which suits speech; turn it off for music or room sound. With more than one microphone, choose it from the list before recording.
Open Trim the start or end, play the recording, pause where it should begin or end, and press Start here or End here. The trimmed part is saved as WAV or M4A; the original is always the whole recording.
The recording lives in memory. The page asks before you leave with one that is not saved, but a closed or crashed tab loses it.
No. The browser gives the microphone to this page, the page writes the recording into its own memory, and the file only leaves when you press Save, straight to your device. No server receives any of the sound, which is also why there is no account and no time limit set by the site.
Open this page, press Start recording and choose Allow when the browser asks for the microphone. Speak and watch the level bar, then press Stop. Play the recording back, and press Save to keep it as the original file, a WAV or an M4A. A headset microphone usually sounds clearer than the laptop's own.
Choose WAV when the file is going to someone else or into an editor, because every player opens it. Choose M4A for a small file that iPhones and Macs treat as a voice memo. The original WebM or Ogg is smallest and untouched, and plays in browsers, VLC and on Android.
Not here. No browser ships an MP3 encoder, and the free encoders carry a licence this site does not accept. M4A (AAC) is smaller than MP3 at the same quality and plays on the same phones and computers; WAV is the choice when a program insists on something universal.
No fixed limit is set. The recording is held in the browser's memory until you save it, and voice in the original format takes about 15 MB an hour, so several hours are fine on most devices. The page shows the size while recording; for very long sessions, stop and save every hour or so.
Distance and the input level are the usual causes. Move to about a hand's width from the microphone, raise the input level in the system sound settings, and watch the bar sit in the middle while you speak. Turning off Reduce background noise helps music and quiet voices that the filter is cutting.
Rates and rules change; check the source before you rely on a figure.
