Screen Recorder

Record your screen, a window or a tab, with optional system sound and microphone — no upload, no watermark, no time limit.

Before you start

What to record

This only steers the system dialog — the final choice is still yours there.

Works when you share a browser tab. Sharing a whole screen or window often yields no audio at all.

Asks for the microphone separately. If it is mixed with system sound, both end up on one audio track.

Good to know

  • The browser shows its own indicator while sharing. No web page can hide it — that is a deliberate safety feature, not a limitation of this tool.
  • The output container depends on your browser: WebM in Chrome and Firefox, MP4 in Safari. The format actually used is shown with the result.
  • System sound capture depends on what you share and on your operating system — it is not available on macOS from a web page.
  • Recording happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there is no time limit, and no watermark is added.

About this tool

Records directly from the browser's screen capture interface. You pick what to share in the system dialog, and everything is written to a file on your own machine: nothing passes through a server, there is no recording time limit, and nothing is watermarked. Audio gets a little more attention here than in most browser recorders, because it is where they usually break. Screen sound and microphone are two separate streams, and naively combining them into one recording gives you either the wrong track or silence. When both are present they are mixed into a single audio track through the Web Audio API, so narration over a system sound actually works.

How to use it

  1. 1Choose what you want to capture. The hint only nudges the system dialog toward a whole screen, a window or a tab — you still make the final choice there.
  2. 2Decide whether to include audio. System sound depends on what you share and on your operating system; the microphone is a separate permission prompt.
  3. 3Record, and use pause if you need to step away. When you stop, check the preview and the reported number of audio tracks before downloading.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get rid of the bar that says the screen is being shared?

No, and no browser-based recorder can. That indicator is drawn by the browser itself, outside the page, precisely so that a web page cannot quietly record your screen. Any tool claiming to hide it is either not telling the truth or asking you to install something native. The bar is not included in the recording — it is only on your screen while you record.

I ticked system sound but the file has no audio.

This is a browser and operating-system limitation, not a bug here. Sharing a browser tab usually carries that tab's audio; sharing an entire screen or a window often yields no audio track at all, and on macOS system audio capture from a web page is generally unavailable. The tool reports how many audio tracks it actually received, so you find out immediately instead of after sending the file to someone. If you need reliable system audio, use the microphone and play the sound out loud, or turn on the system's own screen recording.

The file is WebM and my editor will not open it.

Chrome and Firefox record to WebM, Safari records to MP4. Which container you get is decided by the browser, and the tool takes the best one it supports rather than forcing a format that would produce a broken file. WebM plays fine in browsers and in VLC; for editors that insist on MP4 you need to transcode once, which any converter can do. The format actually used is shown next to the download button.
