Is Voice Recorder free?

Yes. Every VersaTools tool is completely free — no account, no watermark, and no sign-up required.

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

No. Recording and encoding happen entirely in your browser, and the file is saved directly to your device. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server.

What audio format do I get?

It depends on your browser: most save WebM (Opus), some produce OGG, and Safari typically exports M4A. The download button shows the exact extension before you save.

Why isn't my microphone working?

You need to grant microphone permission in the browser prompt. If it was blocked, re-enable it in your browser's site settings and click Start recording again. You can also pick a specific device from the dropdown.

Is there a time limit on recordings?

There's no fixed limit because nothing is uploaded — length is bounded only by your device's available memory. Longer recordings simply use more memory before you save them.

How to use Voice Recorder

Choose your microphone
In the Microphone panel, select an input device from the dropdown, or keep System default microphone. Device names fill in once you've allowed microphone access.
Start recording
Click Start recording and allow microphone access when prompted. A live waveform draws your voice in real time so you can confirm the mic is picking you up.

A red badge and timer show recording is active. Use Pause to hold and Resume to continue in the same file, or click Stop when you're finished.
