How to record your voice online
- Press Record and click Allow when your browser asks to use the microphone.
- Speak. The live waveform and level meter show that sound is coming in, and the timer counts your recording.
- Press Pause to take a break and Resume to continue in the same file.
- Press Stop. Play the recording back and drag the trim handles to cut silence at the start or end.
- Download it as MP3, WAV or the original WebM/M4A file.
On a computer you can also use the keyboard: R starts and stops, Space pauses and resumes, and P plays the recording.
A free voice recorder that keeps your audio private
Most online recorders send your audio to a server to convert or store it. This one doesn’t. The recording, the waveform, the trimming and the MP3 or WAV conversion all happen inside your browser tab, and the file goes straight to your downloads folder. You can check it yourself: open your browser’s network panel while you record and you won’t see any audio leaving your device.
That also means there is no account, no watermark and no daily limit. Close the tab and the recording is gone, so download it before you leave the page.
What you can do with it
- Pick your microphone: built-in mic, USB mic, headset or webcam mic.
- Noise filter, echo cancel and auto gain: switch them on for speech, or off for music and a raw, natural sound.
- Live waveform and level meter: green means a good level, orange is loud and red means the mic is clipping.
- Pause and resume without creating a second file.
- Trim the start and end on the waveform before you download.
- Three download formats: MP3 for sharing, WAV for editing, or the browser’s original WebM/M4A file.
Need only MP3? The MP3 voice recorder is set up for that. Want to hear how your mic sounds first? Run a quick mic test.
Which format should you download?
| Format | Best for | Size (voice, 1 min) |
|---|---|---|
| MP3 (128 kbps) | Sharing, email, WhatsApp, podcasts, any player | about 1 MB |
| WAV (16-bit PCM) | Editing in Audacity, GarageBand or a DAW | about 5–6 MB (mono, 44.1–48 kHz) |
| WebM / M4A (original) | Smallest file, exactly as your browser recorded it | about 0.5–1 MB |
Trimming applies to the MP3 and WAV downloads. The original WebM/M4A file is always the full, untrimmed recording. More detail is in our guide to MP3 vs WAV vs WebM.
Works on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac
The recorder runs in any current browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on a computer, Safari on iPhone and iPad (iOS 14.3 or newer), and Chrome or Samsung Internet on Android. On a phone, keep the screen on and stay on the page while you record. Phones stop a browser’s microphone when the screen locks or you switch apps. If that happens, whatever you recorded up to that point is kept.
Apps like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok open links in their own in-app browser, which often blocks the microphone. If the recorder can’t start, open the page in Safari or Chrome.
Microphone not working?
If you see “Microphone access is blocked”, your browser or system has denied permission. The recorder shows the fix for your browser right under the buttons. You’ll find every step, including Windows and macOS privacy settings, in how to allow microphone access. If the meter stays grey while you speak, choose a different microphone in the list and check that a headset mute switch isn’t on.
