About the Webcam Recorder

This page records your camera, and your microphone if you want sound, into a video file you save to your own device. The recording is made and held inside the page, so nothing is uploaded, there is no watermark, and no length limit is set by us.

MP4 or WebM

The page asks the browser which formats it can write and offers each one. MP4 plays on almost every phone, editor and messaging app; Safari writes it, and so do Chrome and Edge from version 126. WebM is smaller for the same picture and plays in browsers, VLC and most editors, but not in some phone galleries; Firefox writes only WebM. MP4 is chosen when it is available.

Size and quality

Choose 720p or 1080p before recording. The camera's own limits decide what it really sends, so the page shows the actual size under the picture, along with roughly how many megabytes a minute will take: about 19 MB at 720p with sound and about 38 MB at 1080p. Laptop cameras sold as 1080p often send only 720p to a browser.

Countdown, mirror and photos

A 3, 5 or 10 second countdown gives you time to sit back before recording starts. Mirror flips only the preview, so it behaves like a mirror; the saved video and photos are the way everyone else sees you, with text reading the right way round. Take a photo saves a still from the live picture as JPG or PNG at the camera's full size.

Pause, preview and save

Pause and resume as often as you like; the timer stops while paused. Stop shows the recording in a player so you can watch it before saving. Until you save, the recording lives in memory, and the page asks before you leave with one that is not saved.

Frequently asked questions

Is my webcam video uploaded anywhere?

No. The browser gives the camera to this page, the page writes the video into its own memory, and the file only leaves when you press Save, straight to your device. No server receives any frame or any sound, which is also why there is no watermark, no account and no length limit set by the site.

How do I record a video of myself with my laptop camera?

Open this page, press Start camera and allow the camera and microphone. Choose 720p or 1080p, press Record, and start talking when the countdown ends. Press Stop and preview, watch it back, then press Save. Facing a window gives a sharper picture than a lamp behind you.

Why is my webcam recording WebM instead of MP4?

The page asks the browser which formats it can write and offers MP4 whenever the answer is yes. Safari can, and Chrome and Edge can from version 126. Firefox writes only WebM, and so does an older Chrome, so updating the browser or switching to one of those gives MP4.

Why is my recording mirrored, or not mirrored?

Mirror affects only the live preview, so moving your hand to the left looks natural. The saved video and photos are never mirrored: they show you as other people see you, with writing on a shirt or a sign the right way round. Untick Mirror to preview exactly what will be saved.

How large is a webcam recording?

About 19 MB a minute at 720p with sound and about 38 MB a minute at 1080p, because the page asks the browser for 2.5 and 5 megabits a second. Browsers stay close to those figures rather than exactly on them. The size so far is shown on the picture while recording.

Can I record my webcam on a phone?

Yes, in Chrome on Android and Safari on iPhone and iPad, which both let pages use the camera. The front camera is used first; choose another from the Camera list after starting. Keep the screen on and the page open while recording, because a phone may pause the camera in the background.
