Why is the first run slower?

This tool needs a processing engine that is downloaded once and then cached: ffmpeg.wasm: about 30 MB, fetched once from the jsDelivr CDN and cached by your browser. Only the engine is downloaded. Your file never leaves your device.

Are my files uploaded?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser tab. Files are read from your disk into memory and the result is generated locally.

Is it free? Are there limits or watermarks?

Free and open source (MIT). There are no file-size caps, daily quotas, accounts or watermarks.

Does it work offline?

Yes, once the page (and any engine it needs) has loaded, it keeps working without a connection thanks to the service worker cache.

Voice Recorder

Record your voice with live waveform and export.

Free, no uploads, no sign-up. Runs 100% in your browser.

How Voice Recorder works

Voice Recorder runs entirely in your browser. Record your voice with live waveform and export. Under the hood it uses ffmpeg.wasm (the FFmpeg media toolkit compiled to WebAssembly (single-threaded core)), MediaRecorder (the browser’s built-in audio/video recorder) and Web Audio API (decodes, mixes and analyses audio for waveforms). Your files are read into this tab’s memory, processed on your own CPU, and handed back to you as a download. Nothing is sent to a server.

Input: MP3, WAV, OGG, AAC, FLAC, M4A.

How to use Voice Recorder

Drop an audio file onto Voice Recorder (or start recording).
Adjust the options and preview playback.
Process the audio.
Download in the format you picked.

Tips

WAV is lossless but large; MP3/AAC/OGG are compact for sharing.
Engines load on first use and are cached afterwards.
