Screen recorder
Record your screen, a window or a browser tab — with optional microphone narration — then play the capture back and save it as a video file. Recording runs entirely in your browser with no upload, no account and no time limit.
Open Screen recorder →What is the Screen recorder?
A free, private screen recorder that runs entirely in your browser — no extension, no install, no upload. Record your whole screen, a single window or one browser tab, optionally adding microphone narration (and system audio where your browser offers it). Pause and resume while you record, preview the capture immediately, and download it as a video file. Everything is captured on your device with the browser's built-in APIs, so nothing ever leaves your machine.
How to use Screen recorder
- Choose narration — Tick Include microphone narration if you want to talk over the recording.
- Start and pick what to share — Click Start recording. Your browser shows a picker — choose the screen, window or tab to capture, and tick its share-audio option if you also want system sound.
- Record, pause, resume — The timer runs while you capture. Use Pause and Resume for breaks; the result is one continuous video.
- Stop and save — Click Stop (or end sharing from the browser's bar). Preview the video below, then save it with the Download button in the toolbar at the top. Reset discards the take so you can start fresh.
Frequently asked questions
Is the recording uploaded anywhere?
No. The capture is assembled in your browser's memory and saved straight to your device. There is no server involved.
Can I record system sound?
Where the browser supports it — Chrome and Edge offer a 'share audio' toggle in the picker when you select a tab (and on some systems, the entire screen). Firefox and Safari currently capture video only, plus your microphone if enabled.
What format is the file?
WebM in most browsers (VP8/VP9 video with Opus audio). If you need MP4, convert the download with the Convert video to MP4 tool — also right here in your browser.
Why did recording stop by itself?
Ending the share from the browser's own 'stop sharing' bar stops the recorder too — that's expected. The capture up to that point is kept and shown below.
Tips
- Record a single tab rather than the whole screen when you can — it keeps notifications and other windows out of the capture.
- Tab capture in Chrome and Edge also offers the most reliable system-audio option.
- Pause during quiet stretches instead of stopping — you avoid stitching files together afterwards.
