A free online voice recorder that saves MP3

Voice Recorder records your voice through your computer's or phone's microphone and saves it as MP3 or WAV. There's no time limit, nothing to install and no account. Pause and carry on as often as you need.

When you stop, silence at the start and end can be trimmed off automatically. The recording is made in your browser and never uploaded.

Voice recorder in short

Allow your browser to use the microphone, then select Start recording, and Stop when you're done, then trim the silence if you like and download as MP3. It's free, there's no sign-up, and it runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

Good to know

  • The recording stays on your device; it isn't uploaded.
  • Silence at the start and end can be trimmed automatically before you save.
  • The first time you use an audio or video tool, your browser downloads our 31 MB processing engine. It's kept for next time, so later runs start straight away.
  • This tool runs in your browser. Very large files depend on your device's memory.

Voice recorder: common questions

How do I record my voice online and save it as MP3?
Select Start recording, allow the microphone, select Stop, choose MP3 and download.
Why can't it hear my microphone?
Check the browser hasn't blocked the microphone for this site (the icon in the address bar) and that the right input is selected in your computer's sound settings.
Is my recording uploaded?
No. It's recorded and saved by your browser on your device.
Is Voice recorder free?
Yes. Voice recorder is free, works without an account, adds no watermark and has no time limit.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Voice recorder runs in your web browser, so the file is read on your own device and never sent to ConvertFile.
Does Voice recorder work on Mac, Windows, Android and iPhone?
Yes. It runs in any modern web browser, with nothing to install. Very large files work best on a desktop or laptop, because in-browser tools use your device's memory.
