Frequently Asked Questions
What format is the recording?

No time limit. Recording continues until you click Stop.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, mobile browsers support microphone recording. You may need to grant microphone permission.
My online audio recorder says microphone access denied, how do I fix it?
If the recorder shows 'microphone access denied,' first ensure your browser has permission. In browser settings (usually under Privacy and Security > Site Settings), find the recorder's URL and allow microphone access. Also, check your operating system's privacy settings to ensure your browser is allowed to use the microphone. Restarting your browser might also help.
Do I need to download any software or an app to use this free online audio recorder?
No, you do not need to download or install any software or app. This is a completely browser-based free online audio recorder. You can start recording directly from your microphone with real-time waveform visualization. Just open the website in your browser, grant microphone access, and begin your audio recording instantly, then download your file when finished.
How do I use the waveform visualization?
The real-time waveform visualization shows you the audio levels as you speak. You'll see the wave bounce with your voice. It's a handy way to check if your microphone is picking up sound and to avoid clipping. Aim for a wave that fills about half the screen; too low means faint audio, too high risks distortion. You'll see it appear immediately once you start recording.
Can I pause and resume a recording, or do I have to start over?
Yes, you can pause and resume as much as you want. Hit the pause button to stop capturing audio temporarily, then press resume to continue on the same recording. This is great for trimming out silence or interruptions. When you're done, click stop and download a single file. No stitching needed.
