About Tab Audio Recorder
Tab Audio Recorder records audio from the current browser tab and saves it
locally as a WebM/Opus file, or exports it as MP3.
It is designed for lectures, livestreams, online courses, webinars, and
knowledge videos where you want to keep a local audio recording while continuing
to listen normally.
Features:
- Record the current tab's audio with one click
- Pause and resume recording
- Continue recording after closing the popup
- Export recordings manually when ready
- Save as WebM/Opus, or export as MP3
- Light, dark, and follow-system themes
- Interface in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese
- In-popup settings for language, theme, and export format
- Use keyboard shortcuts for recording and pause/resume
- Keep tab audio audible while recording
- Capture only the selected tab, not microphone audio or system-wide audio
- No uploads, no analytics, no tracking, no external network requests
Limitations:
- Muted tabs cannot be recorded
- DRM-protected media may not be capturable
- Browser internal pages such as chrome:// pages cannot be recorded
- Long recordings stay in browser memory until exported; converting a very long
recording to MP3 is memory-intensive (WebM/Opus stays available if it fails)
Privacy:
Tab Audio Recorder processes recordings locally in the browser, including MP3
conversion. It does not upload recordings, collect personal data, use analytics,
or contact external servers.
