Does my recording get uploaded anywhere?

No. Recording uses the browser's built-in MediaRecorder API entirely on your device. The audio is never sent to any server — it stays in browser memory until you download it.

What format are recordings saved in?

Recordings are saved as WebM (Opus codec) by default, which is what the MediaRecorder API produces in Chrome and Firefox. On browsers where WebM is not available, the tool falls back to the next supported format. You can also convert the recording to WAV by clicking "Convert to WAV" after stopping.

How do I allow microphone access?

Click the Record button. Your browser will show a permission prompt asking for microphone access. Click Allow. If you previously denied access, you will need to reset it in your browser's site settings (click the lock icon in the address bar).

Is there a recording time limit?

There is no hard time limit in the tool itself. Practical limits are your device's available RAM (each minute of audio takes roughly 1–2 MB in WebM format) and your browser's memory limits.

Can I record on iPhone?

Yes. Safari on iOS 14.5+ supports MediaRecorder for audio. Make sure you are on a recent iOS version. The download button will save the file to your Files app.

Why does the recording appear choppy when I play it back?

This can happen if the page is in a background tab during recording, which some browsers throttle. Keep the recorder tab active while recording for best results.

Can I trim the recording after capturing it?

Yes. Download the recording, then open it in the Audio Trimmer tool on this site to cut out unwanted sections at the start or end.

What sample rate is used?

The MediaRecorder API uses the default input sample rate negotiated with your microphone, typically 44 100 Hz or 48 000 Hz. This is sufficient for voice and music recordings.
