Free Tab Audio & Sound Recorder

Record any tab's audio as MP4 or WAV, writing automatically to disk every second. A single file, your choice of folder, no cloud.

🎙️ Free Tab Audio & Sound Recorder — Capture Any Tab's Sound, Your Way Record the audio playing in any browser tab — a video, a livestream, a webinar, a podcast, music from a page, a browser-based call — and save it as a single MP4 or WAV file, written straight to your disk. Completely free, no sign-up, no cloud, no watching your progress disappear if something crashes. 🆕 What's New in v2.3.4 (Sep 23, 2026) Fixed a critical bug where long recordings (2+ hours) could take a long time to finish saving after Stop.

You choose the folder on your own disk, and that's where it stays, permanently. 🔹 Zero Learning Curve – No settings page to configure. Click, pick a format and a save location, and you're recording. 🔹 Built for Real Use Cases – Save lecture audio, webinars, streamed podcasts, browser-call interviews, or music from a page — anything your tab is playing. 🔄 HOW IT WORKS 1️⃣ Open the tab whose sound you want to capture 2️⃣ Click the Free Tab Audio & Sound Recorder icon 3️⃣ Pick MP4 or WAV, then choose a save location (just once) 4️⃣ Let it run — the file keeps growing automatically, second by second 5️⃣ Click "Stop" — you're left with one finished audio file, ready to play 🌍 WHO IS THIS FOR? Everyone who requires local audio records with a simple click, without the fear of loosing data, it saves in real time. ❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 🛠️ Does it record my microphone? No — only the audio already playing inside the browser tab, never your mic or your voice. 💾 What file formats can I save? MP4/AAC (small, plays everywhere) or WAV (uncompressed, ideal for editing) — pick whichever fits your needs before you start. 🎬 Can I get MP3 directly? Not yet — no browser can natively encode MP3 without extra heavy libraries. You can convert the saved file to MP3 in one command with free tools like ffmpeg if you need to. 🔒 Is my recording sent anywhere? Never. There's no server behind this extension. The audio is written straight to the folder you choose, on your own device. 📁 Do I get one file or several? One single file, from the moment you press Start to the moment you press Stop. 💰 Is it really free? Yes — fully free, with no ads, no premium tier, and no usage limits. 🚀 Ready to capture your tab's sound the simple way?
