About Screen Recorder
What this page solves
Screen Recorder solves the privacy and friction problem of typical online tools — it never uploads, never asks for a signup, and runs in your browser.
Screen Recorder is a free in-browser video utility that lets you record your screen using the screen capture api using modern browser APIs. It is built for content creators, social media managers, developers, and educators who need fast video edits without uploading files to a server or paying for a desktop app. Every operation runs locally — your videos never leave your device, even when extracting frames, generating GIFs, or recording your screen. Nothing you load into Screen Recorder is uploaded: the file or text is read with the browser's own FileReader and processed in page memory, so the work finishes even if your connection drops mid-task. For content creators, Screen Recorder is faster than firing up a full NLE for everyday operations: trim, convert, extract frames, generate thumbnails. Screen Recorder loads as a small bundle and is interactive within a second on mid-range phones, so it is practical to use it from a phone while away from a desk. Screen Recorder is part of our Video Tools collection, which covers conversion, trimming, recording, and metadata inspection. If you also need a complementary utility, try our Video to GIF. It is free, requires no signup, and works in any modern browser that supports the relevant video APIs.

Frequently asked questions
How to use Screen Recorder?
1) Open the tool. 2) Enter or upload your input. 3) Get your result instantly. Everything happens locally — nothing is uploaded.
When should I use Screen Recorder?
Use Screen Recorder whenever you need a fast, private, browser-based way to record your screen using the screen capture api.
Is Screen Recorder safe?
Yes. Screen Recorder runs 100% in your browser. Inputs are never uploaded, stored, or logged — safe for confidential content.
Will quality be affected by Screen Recorder?
Where re-encoding is required, you can control codec and bitrate. Frame-extract and metadata operations are lossless.
What formats does Screen Recorder support?
Screen Recorder supports MP4 and WebM universally; MOV and AVI depending on browser codec support
Is Screen Recorder free?
Yes — Screen Recorder is completely free, with no registration, no watermarks, and no usage limits.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Screen Recorder processes video entirely in your browser. Files never leave your device.
Will large videos slow down my browser?
Video processing is memory-intensive. Screen Recorder works best with files under a few hundred megabytes; very large files may take longer or require more RAM.
What video formats are supported?
MP4 and WebM are universally supported. Others depend on the codecs available in your browser.
Will Screen Recorder preserve the original video quality?
Operations that don't re-encode (trimming, metadata reads, frame extraction) are lossless. Operations that re-encode (format conversion, GIF export) introduce the encoder's normal trade-offs — the UI shows the result so you can decide whether to accept it.
