Do I need to install any extension or app?

No. The Screen Recorder uses built-in browser APIs (getDisplayMedia + MediaRecorder). No extension, no download required.

Is the recording uploaded anywhere?

No. The recording is stored in your browser's memory and downloaded to your local drive. Nothing is ever sent to a server.

Why WebM and not MP4 by default?

WebM is the only format browsers can record to natively. If you need MP4 (for broader compatibility), click the 'Convert to MP4' button after recording.

Does it record audio?

Yes — system/tab audio is captured by default where your browser allows it. Enable the Microphone option to also capture your external mic.

What is Screen Recorder?

The Pix2Doc Screen Recorder captures your screen, a specific application window, or a browser tab directly in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox—no browser extension required. It uses the browser's built-in 'MediaRecorder' and 'getDisplayMedia' APIs, which means the recording is captured and stored entirely in your browser's memory. System audio is captured automatically where supported. You can optionally include your microphone as well. Recordings are saved as WebM files and can optionally be converted to MP4 using FFmpeg WASM (loaded on demand).

Common Use Cases

Recording a software tutorial or walkthrough to share with a team
Capturing a bug reproduction for a developer
Recording an online meeting or video call for later reference
Creating demo videos without installing OBS or screen recording software
