Is there a recording limit?

We don't impose hard limits, but long recordings generate very large files that may strain your browser's memory.

Yes, you can include your microphone. Some systems also support recording system audio alongside the screen capture.

Can I record my full desktop or just a browser tab?

When you click Start Recording, your browser will ask what to share: the entire screen, a specific app window, or a single browser tab. You choose which one to capture.

What format is the screen recording saved in?

Recordings are saved as WebM, which is broadly supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can convert WebM to MP4 using the Video Converter tool if you need wider compatibility.

Can I record my screen with audio on a Mac?

On macOS, browsers can capture microphone audio alongside screen recording. Capturing system (desktop) audio requires a virtual audio driver like BlackHole, as macOS does not natively expose system audio to browser APIs.

Is the screen recording stored on any server?

No. The Screen Recorder uses the browser's MediaRecorder API combined with getDisplayMedia to capture your screen entirely within the browser's sandbox. The resulting video is saved directly to your device as a WebM file when you click stop or download — no data passes through any server. This means recordings can be arbitrarily large without any upload limit. If you need MP4 format, use the GIF to MP4 or Video Converter tool to convert the WebM file after downloading.

Local processing

Our local file, text and chart tools process content on your device using JavaScript, browser APIs and, where needed, WebAssembly. Our usage events do not include filenames, file contents, input text, chart values, raw errors, emails or license references. Network lookup tools (such as DNS, WHOIS, IP and speed tests) contact external services for their stated purpose. Loading the website, fonts, libraries and models also makes network requests. WebAssembly itself does not prevent network access.
