How to get the audio from a TikTok, Instagram or Facebook video
Updated · 5 min read
If a TikTok, Instagram or Facebook video is on your phone, because you made it or the app let you save it, Extractune can pull out its sound as an MP3, or separate the voice from the music, right in your browser. Here's how to save the video from each app first, the catches to know about, and what you get.
First, have the video on your phone
Extractune works with files, not links, so the video needs to be saved on your phone first. Your own posts and drafts can be saved from each app; other people's videos can only be saved where the app offers it.
Only reuse sound you have the right to: your own content, or material you're allowed to use.
How do I save a TikTok video?
Tap Share on the video, then Save video. The option only shows when the creator allows downloads; if it's missing or greyed out, the app won't save that video. A saved TikTok carries the TikTok watermark and usually ends with a short card showing the creator's name, so trim that end card off before you extract.
How do I save my own Instagram Reel?
Open the Reel from your profile, tap the three dots, and choose the option to download it or save it to your device. One catch: a Reel that uses a song from Instagram's music library can save without that song, because of music licensing. If your saved Reel is silent or only has your voice, that's why, and there's no sound for any tool to extract.
How do I save my own Facebook video?
Open the video or Reel from your profile, tap the three dots, and choose Download. The same licensing catch applies: music added from Facebook's own library may not come with the download. The saved file can also carry a Facebook watermark with your name.
Get the audio, step by step
- 1Open extractune.com/video-to-mp3 in Safari or Chrome. The converter is at the top of the page.
- 2Tap Choose a file and pick the saved video from your photos or files.
- 3The sound comes out right on your phone. When it says Ready to download, tap Download MP3 at the top; for WAV or WebM, pick it on the Convert tab first.
- 4To keep only part of the video, tap Trim and extract on the Convert tab instead: it opens the same video in the full tool with a trim, then Extract audio.

Which format to download
MP3 plays everywhere and stays small, which suits a ringtone, a voice note or listening later. WAV is the one to pick for editing, because nothing more is lost when you cut and re-export it. WebM is the smallest of the three and the quickest to save, and it plays in browsers and most modern apps.
Making a ringtone? On most Android phones you can pick an MP3 from your Downloads in the sound settings; trim it to the part you want first, since a ringtone only plays the start. On iPhone a ringtone has to go through Apple's own GarageBand app, so the MP3 alone isn't enough.
| Format | One minute of sound | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| MP3 | about 2.4MB | Listening and sharing: it plays on anything |
| WebM (Opus) | about 1.0MB | The smallest file; plays in browsers and most modern apps |
| WAV | about 5.8MB mono, 11.5MB stereo | Editing: nothing more is lost when you cut and save it again |
Keep just the moment you want
Short videos often open with a hook and end with a call to follow, or TikTok's end card. In the tool, drag the handles under the video to keep only the stretch you want before extracting; the times show as you drag. You can come back for another part of the same video with Use another file, without picking the file again.

Just the voice, or just the music
Many videos are someone talking over a song. In the tool, open the Split tab after extracting to get the voice and the music apart: keep the voiceover without the soundtrack, or the backing without the talking. Or open extractune.com/remove-background-music-from-video, which does it in one go and can save the video back with only the voice. The first split downloads a 90MB engine once, and it runs on your phone, so a minute-long video takes about a minute and a half on an average phone with a graphics chip.
Using the sound in your own edit
To reuse the sound in a video editor or a music app, download it as WAV: most editors import WAV and MP3, and WAV won't lose anything more when the editor saves its own copy. If you only need part of it, trim in Extractune first, so the file you import starts and ends exactly where you want. The file keeps the video's own name, so it's easy to find among your downloads.
A Suno song saved as a video
Suno songs often end up on your phone as a video too: shared to you, or downloaded that way. The same steps turn the video into an MP3 or WAV. Suno itself offers MP3 and video downloads, with WAV files and stems (the vocals and each instrument separately) on its paid plans, and it changed its download rules more than once during 2026, so check what your own plan includes in Suno.
Splitting the video gives you the vocals and the instrumental from the finished mix, in four parts, the same way as any song. Suno's own paid stems are made from the song itself and can come as more separate instruments. What you may do with a Suno song depends on the plan it was made on and on Suno's terms; songs made on Suno's free plan have been for non-commercial use.
If something doesn't work
This video doesn't have an audio track to extract: the saved video has no sound in it. For Instagram and Facebook that's usually the music-licensing catch above; there's nothing a tool can recover.
Couldn't read this file from your device: the video is in the cloud, like Google Photos or iCloud, and not on the phone yet. Open it there so it downloads, then pick it again.
There's no option to save the video: the app or the creator doesn't allow it. Extractune can't open a link to a video, on purpose: it only works with files you have, which keeps it on the right side of each app's rules.
The audio starts with the app's sound or ends with an end card: trim it off in the tool before you extract.
On a computer
The same steps work on a laptop or desktop: move the video over from your phone, open extractune.com/video-to-mp3 in Chrome, Edge or Safari, and drop the file onto the page. Files up to 500MB and 20 minutes work, far more than any short video needs.
Find the song, or the words
Want to know what song is playing, or what's said? extractune.com/find-song-from-video and extractune.com/video-to-text do that from the same saved video. That's the one feature that sends audio off your phone, and only when you tap Get the words: a compressed copy of the sound is transcribed, and a short clip is checked against a song database. The video itself is never uploaded.
