Audio RecorderLocal
Record audio from your microphone, then preview and download as WebM or WAV.

Recording tips

  • Use headphones to avoid feedback from your speakers.
  • Record in a quiet room for the best results.
  • Keep the microphone about 15–30 cm from your mouth.
  • Watch the level meter — green is good, red means you're too loud.

After recording, clean it up with the silence remover or trim it with the audio cutter.

⎆Your audio never leaves your browser. Recording and encoding happen locally on your device.
How to use Audio Recorder

  1. Grant mic permission

    Click record and allow microphone access when your browser asks.

  2. Watch the VU meter

    Speak at your target level. Aim for peaks around -6 dB to avoid clipping.

  3. Pause or stop

    Pause and resume as needed; stop when finished.

  4. Preview

    Play back the take in the built-in player.

  5. Export

    Download as WebM (native) or re-encoded WAV for universal compatibility.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the WebM file smaller than the WAV?
WebM uses Opus compression. WAV is uncompressed PCM, which is about 10× larger for the same audio.
Can I record a browser tab?
Not from this tool — it only records the mic. For tab audio you need a dedicated screen-recording workflow.
What if I deny permission by accident?
Open your browser site settings and re-enable microphone access, then reload the page.
