About Facebook to Transcript

This tool converts public Facebook videos, Reels, and Watch posts into text transcripts using AI or existing captions. Users paste a public video URL or upload an audio/video file up to 80MB, and the service generates a transcript in TXT, SRT, or VTT format. The AI method processes up to 30 minutes of audio with auto-detected language support across 40+ languages. An alternative “Extract” option retrieves pre-existing captions when available, which is faster but limited to videos that already have them. The tool operates without requiring sign-up and stores no user data, though heavy AI use is rate-limited to maintain availability. Transcripts can be copied, downloaded, or summarized for key takeaways.

Frequently asked questions about Facebook to Transcript

How do I get a transcript of a Facebook video?

Copy the share link from a public Facebook video, Reel, or Watch post. Paste it into the input field on the website, select a language, and choose between the Extract (captions) or AI (audio) method. The transcript can then be copied or downloaded in TXT, SRT, or VTT format.

Does this work with Facebook Reels?

Yes. Open the Reel, use the Copy link option, and paste the link into the tool. Public Reels, Watch videos, /videos/ posts, and fb.watch short links are all supported.

What is the difference between Extract and AI?

The Extract method retrieves pre-existing captions generated by Facebook, which is faster when available. The AI method downloads and transcribes up to 30 minutes of audio from the video, offering a transcript even when captions are missing.

Can I transcribe a private Facebook video?

No. Only public videos with a shareable URL are supported. Private posts, login walls, friends-only content, and Messenger chats cannot be transcribed. For private content, use Facebook’s Download Your Information tool.

Is this Facebook video transcript tool free?

Yes. The tool is free to use without requiring sign-up or payment. However, heavy AI usage is rate-limited to maintain server availability and performance.

Which file formats can I download?

The tool generates transcripts in three formats: plain text (TXT) for documents, SRT for video editors, and VTT for web players. All formats are derived from the same timestamped transcript.
