Online Audio Recorder - Record Voice & Export WAV

This is a free browser-based audio recording tool that lets you record voice, music, or any audio directly from your microphone. It exports recordings in WAV format (16-bit PCM), ensuring lossless, high-quality audio suitable for professional use, podcasts, voice-overs, and music demos. No software installation is required — everything runs in your browser.

Simply click the red microphone button (or press the Space key) to start recording. Grant microphone permission when prompted by your browser. You can pause and resume during recording. Click the stop button when finished. Your recording will appear in the list below, ready for playback or download as a WAV file.

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed, lossless audio format. Unlike MP3 or AAC, WAV preserves 100% of the original audio quality with no compression artifacts. This makes it ideal for: professional audio editing, archiving, transcription, music production, and any scenario where audio fidelity matters. Files are larger than compressed formats but retain studio-quality sound.

Yes! This audio recorder is fully responsive and works on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and other modern mobile browsers. On mobile, you may need to use HTTPS for microphone access. The interface adapts to smaller screens with touch-friendly buttons. Note: some older mobile browsers may have limited MediaRecorder support.

All recordings are stored locally in your browser's memory during the current session. They are never uploaded to any server — your privacy is fully protected. Once you close or refresh the page, recordings will be cleared. Please download your WAV files before leaving the page to save them permanently.

For best results: (1) Use a quality external microphone rather than built-in laptop mics. (2) Record in a quiet environment with minimal background noise. (3) Keep the microphone at an appropriate distance (6-12 inches for vocals). (4) Use headphones to prevent echo. (5) Check the volume indicator bars — aim for mid to high green/yellow levels without hitting red (which indicates clipping).

Absolutely! Click the pause button (or press Space) to temporarily halt recording. Click resume to continue. All audio segments are seamlessly merged into a single WAV file when you stop. This is perfect for taking breaks, gathering thoughts, or handling interruptions during longer recording sessions.

The recording uses your system's default sample rate (typically 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, depending on your audio hardware and browser). Exported WAV files use 16-bit PCM encoding with the same sample rate as the original recording. This provides CD-quality audio suitable for professional applications.
