Free Audio & Video Tools

Sixteen tools for recording, converting, compressing, transcribing, and editing sound and video, all running in your browser. That matters double here: your footage stays private, and a two-gigabyte video starts processing instantly instead of spending an hour uploading to someone's server first.

No upload queue, ever No watermarks, no size caps Whisper & TTS on device Free, no export limits

Every audio & video tool, ranked by what people reach for most

Recording and shrinking video lead the list, the on-device AI trio (transcription, subtitles, voiceovers) follows, and the cutting-and-stitching utilities round it out. Everything is powered by FFmpeg and AI models running on your own machine.

  1. 1

    Screen RecorderMost used

    Full screen, one window, or a tab, in HD, with system audio and mic mixed in.

    Tutorials, demos, bug reports, and the meeting that should have been a video: record straight from the browser with no install, no watermark, and no time limit. Capture the whole screen, a window, or a single tab, mix system audio with your microphone, and export MP4 or WebM. The subscription recorders charge monthly for this because their servers process your video; here yours does.

    Video CompressorMost used

    Shrink any video to a sendable size. No upload, no cap, no watermark.

    The phone shot four gigabytes and the form accepts one hundred megabytes. Pick a quality and resolution and FFmpeg, running in your browser, re-encodes the video into a dramatically smaller MP4. Because nothing uploads, a huge file starts compressing the second you drop it, and the result comes out clean: no watermark, no trial banner, no resolution held hostage by a pro tier.

    Video to GIFMost used

    Trim any clip into a looping GIF at the frame rate and size you choose.

    GIFs still rule chats, docs, and pull requests. Trim the exact moment, balance smoothness against file size with the frame rate and dimensions, and download instantly. The reaction GIF of your coworker, the three-second product demo, the screen capture that explains the bug better than a paragraph: all thirty seconds away.

    Audio Converter

    Batch convert MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, and FLAC, or pull the audio out of a video.

    The voice memo is M4A, the editor wants WAV, the podcast host wants MP3 at a specific bitrate. Convert one file or a whole batch between five formats with bitrate control, or hand it a video and extract just the soundtrack. Everything lands in a single ZIP, and the no-size-cap rule matters here: hour-long recordings convert as happily as ringtones.

    Audio TranscriberAI on device

    Whisper transcription in your browser: audio in, editable timestamped text out.

    Drop in the meeting recording or the interview and OpenAI's Whisper model, running on your own device, types it out. Click any timestamp to jump the audio, correct the words it misheard, and export TXT, Markdown, or subtitle files. Transcription services charge by the minute and keep a copy of your audio; this one is free and keeps nothing.

    Subtitle StudioAI on device

    Auto-caption any video with Whisper, edit and style the cues, export or burn in.

    Most social video plays on mute, so captions are not optional anymore. Whisper transcribes the video on your device, you tidy the cues and style the text, and then choose: export SRT or VTT files for platforms that take them, or burn the subtitles permanently into a new MP4 for the platforms that do not. A caption workflow that usually costs a subscription, free and private.

    Text-to-Speech StudioAI on device

    Any script becomes a natural AI voiceover: ten voices, MP3 or WAV out.

    Narration for the explainer video, audio versions of your writing, or a voice for the project that does not have a narrator. Pick from ten voices, tune the speed, and download MP3 or WAV. The voices are generated on your device with no character limits, which is the part the per-word pricing pages of TTS services would rather you not know is possible.

    Voice Recorder

    Record from your mic with a live level meter, then download the MP3.

    Voice memos, dictation, podcast takes, the pronunciation guide for your name: hit record, watch the meter confirm the mic hears you, pause and resume as needed, and play it back before downloading. Recordings are among the most personal files there are, and these never leave the device that made them.

    Mic & Webcam Test

    Test the mic, camera, and speakers before the call instead of during it.

    "Can you hear me now?" is not an opening line. Check the mic with a live level meter and waveform, record and replay a few seconds to hear what they will hear, preview the camera with its real resolution and frame rate, and confirm both speaker channels. Device pickers untangle the headset-versus-laptop mystery, and clear troubleshooting handles the permission prompts.

    White Noise Generator

    White, pink, and brown noise plus fan and ocean, synthesized live with no loops.

    Focus in a loud house, sleep in a loud world. Five sounds generated in real time by your browser's audio engine, so there is no loop seam to catch your ear at 2am and nothing streams from anywhere. A tone control warms or brightens the mix, and the sleep timer fades out gently instead of stopping cold.

    Video Slicer

    Cut a long video into the segments you actually need, same format out.

    The two usable minutes inside the hour-long recording: mark the segments, cut, and download each piece in the original format. Lecture highlights, the good take from the third attempt, the clip worth posting from the full event: extracted without re-encoding your way through a desktop editor.

    Remove Audio from Video

    Strip the soundtrack in seconds with zero quality loss. The video is copied, not re-encoded.

    Mute the clip before it goes anywhere: the background conversation, the wind, the commentary that seemed funnier at the time. The audio track is removed while the video stream is copied bit-for-bit, so it takes seconds even for big files and the picture quality is untouched. MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, and more.

    Audio Overlay on Video

    Lay music, a voiceover, or an effect onto any video, aligned on a real timeline.

    The montage needs music; the demo needs narration. Drag the audio clip along a shared timeline, line it up against the audio waveform and video thumbnails so the beat drops where the scene changes, and export. Paired with the Text-to-Speech Studio, it turns a silent screen recording into a narrated walkthrough without a video editor in sight.

    Video Merger

    Stitch multiple clips into one video and download the combined file.

    Three phone clips from the recital, the intro plus the main recording, the before and the after: put them in order and merge them into a single file. Simple by design, private by architecture, and free of the watermark that cloud editors stamp on free merges.

    Audio Slicer

    Cut MP3s into segments, with a preview before every download.

    The best thirty seconds of the song, the single question from the hour-long interview, the ringtone-to-be: set the in and out points, preview the cut until it is right, and download the segment. The audio equivalent of cropping a photo, and about as fast.

    Audio Merger

    Stitch audio files together with trims, fades, and crossfades, out to WAV.

    The podcast intro, the interview, and the outro become one file. Trim each segment, add fade-ins and fade-outs, crossfade between pieces so the joins disappear, preview the whole sequence, and export WAV. A surprising amount of real audio production for a browser tab.

Chain them together

The tools hand off to each other, and a few sequences replace entire editing subscriptions.

🎬 Publish the tutorial

Record the walkthrough in HD, let Whisper caption it (because most viewers watch on mute), and compress the result until it uploads everywhere without complaint.

🎙️ The narrated walkthrough

Mute the raw recording, generate a clean AI voiceover from your script, and lay it onto the timeline against the waveform. A silent screen capture becomes a produced video.

🎧 The podcast pipeline

Record the takes, cut the keepers out of the rambles, and stitch them together with crossfades so the edits disappear. An episode, assembled entirely in the browser.

✂️ Cut the highlight

Slice the shareable moment out of the hour-long recording, then loop it as a GIF for the chat or compress it for the feed. The whole event, reduced to the part people will actually watch.

Questions people ask before trusting a video site

Do my videos and recordings get uploaded?
No, and with video that matters twice. Beyond privacy, a 2 GB video would spend an hour uploading before an online service even started working. Here processing begins the second you drop the file, because the work happens on your machine, and the family video or meeting recording never leaves it.
How can video tools work in a browser without a server?
FFmpeg, the engine professional video software is built on, compiled to WebAssembly and running in your browser. It downloads once when a tool first loads; after that your own processor does the converting, compressing, and merging locally.
Is there a watermark or file size cap?
No watermark on anything, no size caps anywhere. Upload-based editors watermark free exports and cap sizes because your footage costs them server money. Here your machine does the work, so there is nothing to meter.
How do transcription and text-to-speech stay private?
OpenAI's Whisper model (behind the transcriber and Subtitle Studio) and the text-to-speech voices download to your device and run there. Your meeting audio and scripts never leave your machine, and the tools work offline after the one-time model download.
What formats are supported?
The common ones and then some: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and AVI on the video side; MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, and FLAC for audio. The audio converter also extracts the soundtrack from any video, and subtitles export as SRT or VTT.
Are these tools really free?
Yes. All 16 are free with no sign-up, no export limits, and no pro tier holding back the quality settings. The site offers an optional premium plan for cross-device features on some other tools, and that is the entire business model.
How is this different from Kapwing, Veed, or Clipchamp?
Those are cloud editors: your footage uploads to their servers, free exports carry watermarks, and the useful settings sit behind subscriptions. These tools process locally, export clean, and cost nothing, because there is no server bill to recover.
Do the tools work offline?
Mostly, yes. Once a tool's page has loaded (including the FFmpeg engine or AI model where one is needed), processing runs entirely on your device, so it keeps working without a connection.
