Online Screen Recorder

Record your full screen, one window or a single browser tab — with optional microphone narration — and save the video straight to your device. No install, no signup, no watermark, and the recording never leaves your computer.

100% local — the video is created on your device, never uploaded

Want tab or system sound too? Tick "Also share tab audio" in the share dialog that opens next.

Ready when you are — you'll choose screen, window or tab in the next step.

Capture, encoding and saving all happen in your browser via the MediaRecorder API — no server ever sees a single frame.

How to Record Your Screen (3 Steps)

  1. Click "Start recording". Your browser opens a share dialog — choose the entire screen, a window, or a single tab. Tick "share audio" there if you want tab/system sound.
  2. Do your thing. A live preview and a REC timer run on this page. You can pause and resume any time; switching tabs won't stop the capture.
  3. Click "Stop & finish". The video appears for playback — press Download and it saves locally, watermark-free.

What You Can Capture

Desktop Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera and Safari 16+ are supported. Mobile browsers don't expose screen capture — use your phone's built-in recorder (iPhone: Control Centre → Screen Recording; Android: Quick Settings → Screen Record).

Tips for Clean Recordings

Close notification sources before you start — a popup mid-demo is the #1 retake cause. Record a tab, not the screen, when your subject lives in the browser: text is sharper and nothing private can wander into frame. Speak while pointing — mic narration compresses far better than trying to edit-in a voiceover later. When the file is done and you need a smaller version or a still, pair this tool with our Image Compressor for thumbnails, or animate a route intro with the Travel Map Animator.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I record my screen without installing software?
Open this page in a desktop browser, click "Start recording" and pick screen, window or tab. The browser's built-in capture API records; stopping saves the file straight to Downloads. Nothing is installed or uploaded.
Can I record my screen with audio?
Yes — enable "Microphone" here for narration, and tick "share tab/system audio" in the browser dialog for internal sound. Chrome/Edge support tab audio everywhere and system audio on Windows.
Is the recording uploaded to a server?
No — capture, encoding and saving all happen locally via the MediaRecorder API. No upload, no server length limits, no watermark.
What format is the recording saved in?
The best your browser supports — usually WebM (VP9/VP8), MP4 (H.264) on Safari and newer Chrome. WebM plays in modern browsers and VLC and uploads fine to YouTube.
Why doesn't screen recording work on my phone?
Mobile browsers don't expose the screen-capture API. Use the built-in recorder: iPhone — Control Centre → Screen Recording; Android — Quick Settings → Screen Record.
