How it works
- 01
Drop the video here
Drop it on the tool at the top of this page, or tap Choose a file: any MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV you have, from your phone or computer. Its sound comes out right in your browser.
- 02
Tap Get the words
The first 20 seconds are checked for a song while the rest is transcribed. If the song starts later in the video, trim to it in the tool first.
- 03
See the song
A match shows the song, the artist, links to it, and the lyrics when they're known. No match is said plainly, with what to try next.
Works for released songs. Covers, remixes, live versions and songs buried under talking are harder to match.
What people use it for
- Name the song from a clip you saved.
- Get the lyrics of a song from a video.
- Find the track behind a reel you filmed.
- Check what was playing in the background of a video.
Questions
How do I find a song from a video?
Drop the video on this page and tap Get the words. If the song is known, you get its name, the artist, links, and the lyrics when they're available.
Why didn't it find my song?
Matching works best on the released recording. Covers, live versions, heavy remixes, humming, or a song buried under loud talking may not match. The check listens to the first 20 seconds, so if the song starts later, trim to a clear part of it in the tool and check again.
Does my video get uploaded?
No, the video never leaves your device. When you tap Get the words, the extracted audio (compressed, never the video) is sent to be transcribed, and a 20-second clip to check whether it's a known song. Extractune doesn't keep either after the request.
Is it free?
Yes, with a fair-use limit on how many songs you can check per hour, to keep it free for everyone.
