How to turn a Facebook video into an MP3
Copy the video or reel link
Tap Share and Copy link under the video, or on the right edge of a reel. fb.watch links sent through Messenger or WhatsApp work as they arrive.
Paste it outside Facebook's browser
Paste it in a browser you opened yourself, not Facebook's in-app browser. On this page the MP3 row comes first, with the MP4 below it.
Convert and save the MP3
We fetch the audio, convert it and send the MP3; a long video takes a few seconds before the download starts. The file is facebook_ plus the id or code in your link.

Facebook keeps sound and picture apart
Most Facebook videos are served in two separate streams: one with the picture and one with the sound, an AAC track, usually around 128 kbps. That is how the player switches quality without cutting the audio. For an MP3 we only need the second stream, so we fetch the audio on its own and convert it once to MP3 at the same rate.
Because the picture usually isn't downloaded, long talks and live replays convert quickly. A minute of audio is about one megabyte; the 30 minute limit gives an MP3 of roughly 29 MB.
What makes a good Facebook MP3
Talks and panels streamed by pages, sermons, radio shows, podcast episodes posted as video and live music sets: content where the picture adds little and a small audio file is easier to keep. Reels work too, but their audio is usually a short licensed clip, and some are muted in certain countries.
The MP3 covers the whole video from start to end. It carries no tags, so rename it or add a title in your music app.
Facebook reel to MP3 and fb.watch links
Every link shape Facebook hands out works here: /videos/ and /watch?v= for normal videos, /reel/ and /share/r/ for reels, /share/v/ from the app's Share button, and fb.watch short links. They all lead to the video, and the MP3 is named facebook_ plus the id or code in the link you pasted.
Videos only friends can see, videos in private groups and stories can't be reached, because Facebook serves them only to signed-in accounts.
320 kbps, reels and silent Facebook MP3s
Can I get the MP3 at 320 kbps, or as WAV?
No, and no site can give you better sound than Facebook serves. Facebook usually streams the audio as AAC at around 128 kbps, so a 320 kbps MP3 or a WAV is the same sound in a much bigger file. We convert once, at 128 kbps.
Can I convert a Facebook reel to MP3?
Yes. Paste the reel link and take the MP3 row. You get the reel's own audio, which is often a few seconds of a licensed song cut to fit, not the full track.
Does a long live replay work?
Up to 30 minutes. A full service, a conference or a two-hour stream is refused before anything is converted; look for a shorter clip of it on the same page.
Why is the MP3 silent or missing?
Facebook mutes some videos and reels when the music isn't licensed in your region, and a muted video has no sound to extract. If the video plays without sound on Facebook, the MP3 can't fix that.
Why does the result come back empty?
The video isn't public: friends only, a private group or a private profile. Our server opens Facebook signed out, so it sees only what a stranger sees.
Can I play the MP3 on my phone?
Yes. On iPhone, Safari saves it to Files, in Downloads, and Files plays it. On Android, Chrome puts it in the Download folder, where any music player finds it. Galleries don't list audio files.
Is it legal to convert Facebook videos to MP3?
Keeping the audio of a public video for your own listening is generally fine. The rights stay with the publisher and the music's owner, so ask before using it in anything you publish or monetize.
