About Screen Recorder

This screen recorder captures your whole screen, a single window or one browser tab, using the browser's own screen-sharing prompt. You choose what to share, press Start, and a 3-2-1 countdown (which you can turn off) gives you a moment to get ready. Press Stop and the recording appears in a list with its length and file size, ready to preview, download as a WebM video or delete.

Before recording you can pick 720p (the default), 1080p or Maximum, which uses the size of the shared surface. You can add microphone audio, and you can overlay your webcam in one of the four corners at a size you set, which is handy for tutorials and walkthroughs. A saved recording can also be exported as an animated GIF for places that will not take video.

Why this runs on your device

A screen recording can show anything open on your machine: email, dashboards, private chats. Here the picture and sound go from the browser's capture API into a file held in the page's memory, and the tool contains no upload step. Nothing is kept once you close or reload the tab, so download what you want to keep first.

How to use Screen Recorder
  1. Choose the quality, and switch on microphone audio or the webcam overlay if you want them.
  2. Press Start recording, then pick a screen, window or tab in the browser's share dialog.
  3. Press Stop when you are done and preview the recording in the list.
  4. Download the WebM file, or export a GIF, before closing the page.
Limitations and trade-offs
  • There is no pause button and no trimming. Recording runs from Start to Stop, so plan the take or cut it afterwards in a video editor.
  • Recordings live only in memory for the current visit. Reloading or closing the tab discards them, and long high-resolution recordings use a lot of RAM.
  • The download is always named .webm. Browsers that can only record MP4 will still produce a playable file, but its container may not match the extension, so rename it if your player complains.
  • GIF export replays the recording and samples it at 8 frames per second, scaled to at most 480 px wide, with no sound. It is meant for short clips and gets slow and large on long ones.
  • What can be captured, including tab or system audio, depends on your browser and operating system. Desktop browsers support screen capture; most phone browsers do not.
