Easily capture your screen, application windows, or specific browser tabs with our professional Screen Recorder. This tool supports high-quality video recording, optional webcam overlay, and audio capture from your microphone or system. Perfect for tutorials, presentations, and game captures, it processes everything locally for maximum privacy. Once finished, you can preview and download your recording in standard formats like WebM or MP4.

How screen recording works in your browser

This tool uses the MediaStream Recording API built into modern browsers — the same underlying technology behind apps like Loom and Google Meet's recording feature. When you click record, your browser asks permission to share your screen, then encodes the video directly on your device using the VP9 or H.264 codec, depending on what your browser supports. No footage is ever sent to a server: capture, encoding, and download all happen locally in your browser tab.

 How to record your screen

1. Click "Start Recording" and choose what to share — your entire screen, a specific application window, or a single browser tab
2. Turn on your webcam overlay or microphone if you want them included in the recording
3. Do whatever you need to demonstrate — the recorder runs in the background
4. Click "Stop," then preview the result before downloading
5. Download as WebM (smaller file size, ideal for web use) or MP4 (broader compatibility with editing software and older devices)

Technical details and limits

• Maximum resolution matches your display or shared window — up to 4K on supported hardware
• Recording length is limited only by your device's available memory, since video is buffered locally rather than streamed
• Audio capture supports both microphone input and system audio (where your browser allows it — Chrome and Edge support tab audio capture; Safari currently does not)
• Output uses the WebM container with VP9 video by default; MP4 export is available for compatibility with tools like Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve

 Why this approach is more private than most alternatives
Desktop screen recorders typically require installation and run with system-level permissions, and many cloud-based recording tools upload your footage to their servers for processing. This tool does neither — it runs entirely within your browser's sandbox, using your device's own processing power, and nothing leaves your computer unless you explicitly click download. We don't receive, store, or have access to your recordings at any point.

Common questions

Is this screen recorder really free, with no watermark or time limit?
Yes. There's no account required, no watermark added to your video, and no artificial time cap beyond what your device's memory allows.

Why is there no audio when I record a browser tab?
Tab audio capture depends on your browser. Chrome and Edge support it directly; Firefox and Safari have more limited support for capturing a tab's internal audio, though microphone recording works in all of them.

Can I edit the recording after downloading it?
The tool itself doesn't include editing — it's built for fast, no-friction capture. For trimming or edits afterward, you can use our Video Trimmer or Video Compressor tools.

Does this work on mobile devices?
Screen recording via browser APIs is currently a desktop-browser feature. Most mobile operating systems (iOS and Android) have their own built-in screen recording you'll need to use instead.
