One recording up to 512 MB and 2 hours on desktop, or 192 MB and 1 hour on mobile. Short recordings work best; browser memory may impose lower limits. Editing prepares automatically after selection. Files and captions stay on your device; no account or payment is required. [Read the privacy policy](https://xfiles.tech/privacy).
