Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online audio recorder.

clip is decoded and ready to download as WAV.

your own device.

Recording cannot start until you allow it.
No. Browsers cannot encode MP3, so the page decodes the recording and writes an uncompressed
WAV file instead.
There is no built-in time limit. The practical limit is the amount of memory available in
your browser tab.
Yes. The recorder works in mobile browsers that support microphone capture, which covers most
modern phones.
