Screen Recorder

Record your screen, a window, or a browser tab, play it back, and download it. Nothing leaves the page.

Recorder

Press Record and your browser will ask which screen, window, or browser tab to share. Nothing is captured until you pick one, and the recording stays on this page until you download it.

Adds your voice to the recording. System and tab sound are separate: they record only when your browser offers an audio option in the share prompt, most reliably for a browser tab.

Recorded in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and closing the tab discards the recording.

How to record your screen online

  1. Press Record

    Click Record, turning on Include microphone first if you want to narrate over the recording.

  2. Pick what to share

    Choose a screen, window, or browser tab in the prompt your browser shows, and tick its audio option if you want tab or system sound and your browser offers it.

  3. Stop the recording

    Click Stop on the page, or end the share from your browser's own controls; both finish the recording the same way.

  4. Download the file

    Play the recording back on the page, check the duration and size, then click Download to save it as a video file named with the date and time.

Why use this tool

Record a screen, window, or tab

Capture the whole screen, one application window, or a single browser tab. You choose in your browser's own share prompt, so nothing is captured by surprise.

Optional microphone

Turn on Include microphone to narrate as you record. Your voice is mixed into the same video file.

Nothing to install

No app, no extension, no download. The recorder is the browser you already have, which makes it usable on locked-down machines.

No time limit

Record as long as you like; the only ceiling is your device memory. Long walkthroughs are fine on a desktop.

No watermark

The video is yours, with no branding stamped on it and no cap on the number of recordings.

Nothing leaves your device

The recording is captured and kept inside the browser tab. It is never uploaded, and closing the tab discards it for good.

About this tool

This tool records your screen directly in the browser. Press Record, pick a screen, window, or browser tab in the prompt your browser shows, and a timer counts while the capture runs. Turn on Include microphone to narrate as you go. When you stop, from the page or from the browser's own sharing bar, the recording plays back immediately with its duration and size shown, ready to download.

It suits quick bug reports, how-to walkthroughs, and capturing a call or demo on a machine where you cannot install software. There is no account, no extension, and no watermark, so the whole loop from pressing Record to holding a file takes seconds. Two honest caveats. First, system and tab sound depend on the browser: sound is captured only when the share prompt offers an audio option, which most browsers show for a browser tab and only some for the whole screen. Second, the output format depends on the browser: most save WebM, while Safari saves MP4. If an editor or platform refuses WebM, run the file through convert to MP4. Expect to record on a desktop; most phone browsers do not offer screen capture at all.

The recording exists only in the page memory until you download it. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored on any server, and closing the tab discards the take permanently. Once you have the file, you can trim the dead start, shrink it for sharing, or record narration separately with the voice recorder.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my recording stored?
Nowhere, until you download it. The recording lives only in the page memory while the tab is open. Nothing is uploaded or saved to any server, and closing or reloading the tab discards it permanently.
What format is the recording in?
It depends on the browser. Most browsers, including Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, save WebM video; Safari saves MP4. The file is named with the honest extension and the format is shown next to the result. If something refuses WebM, run the download through convert to MP4.
Can I record system or tab audio?
Sometimes, and the tool is honest about it: computer sound is captured only when your browser offers an audio option in the share prompt. Most browsers offer it when you share a browser tab, some when you share the whole screen, and a few not at all. Your own voice is separate; turn on Include microphone to mix it in.
Is there a time limit on recordings?
No fixed limit. The recording grows in memory as you go, so the practical ceiling is your device RAM. Walkthroughs of many minutes are normally fine on a desktop; for very long sessions it is safer to record in parts.
Does this work on a phone?
Mostly no. Screen capture from a web page is a desktop browser feature, and most mobile browsers do not offer it. On a phone, use the screen recorder built into iOS or Android instead, and use this tool on a computer.
Can anyone else see my recording?
No. The video is captured and kept inside your browser tab and never touches a network, so nobody, including this site, can access it. The only copy that survives the tab is the file you choose to download.
