Preview your webcam and record video directly in your browser — no installs, no uploads, nothing leaves your device.
This free online tool records video from your webcam using your browser's built-in camera APIs. Nothing is installed, and nothing is uploaded — your recording stays on your device until you choose to download it.
Is this webcam recorder really free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, watermarks, or usage limits.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Recording works entirely in your browser using the getUserMedia and MediaRecorder APIs — nothing to install.
Why does the page ask for camera and microphone permission?
Your browser requires explicit permission before any website can access your camera or microphone. This is a browser security feature, not something this tool controls.
Is my camera feed sent to a server?
No. Your video is captured and stored only in your browser's memory. It's never sent to a server — the only way it leaves your device is if you click Download or Send To.
What format is my recording saved in?
Most browsers record in WebM. You can convert it to MP4 for wider compatibility before downloading.
Why does my camera say it's in use?
Only one application can access a camera at a time. If another app, browser tab, or video call is already using it, this tool can't get a stream until you close that other use and try again.
Your video is captured and processed entirely in your browser. It's never uploaded to a server — it only leaves your device if you download it or send it to another tool. Your camera light turns off as soon as you stop recording.
