TEXT to WEBM File (FREE)
You must be logged in to use this feature.
HOW IT WORKS
IMPORTANT: Permission Instructions (Required)
When you click Convert to Audio, your browser will display a sharing prompt.
To proceed, you must:
- Select “This Tab” (or “Chrome Tab”).
- Check the box labeled “Share tab audio.”
- Click Share.
If tab audio is not shared, the audio cannot be recorded or downloaded.
This permission is required by modern browsers for privacy and security reasons.

Audio Format
- The downloaded file is in WEBM audio format that you can convert to any audio format using any free online audio converter that will convert the WEBM file to an MP3 audio file format. Click Here to visit a good free WEBM to MP3 free file converter website that I use a lot to convert my audio files for free.
- WEBM is a modern, high-quality, widely supported audio format
- Plays natively on:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
- Android
- Most modern media players and browsers but you can convert it to MP3 if you wish.
MP3 is not available in this tool because it requires server-side audio processing and we do not have the additional funds to spend on more servers 🙂 so you will have to convert it using a free WEBM to MP3 file converter if you want to convert your audio WEBM file you created using our website.
Privacy & Security
- No text is sent to external services
- No audio is uploaded or stored
- No accounts or payments required
- All processing happens locally in your browser
- Permissions can be revoked at any time in browser settings
Troubleshooting
I don’t see the permission popup
- Make sure you are using Chrome or Edge
- Make sure the page is loaded over HTTPS
- Refresh the page and try again
Audio plays but does not download
- Ensure “Share tab audio” was checked when prompted
- Re-generate the audio if needed
Why This Permission Is Required
Modern browsers do not allow silent recording of audio for privacy protection.
The permission prompt ensures users are always aware when audio capture is happening.
