Extract Audio from a Video Link, Get an MP3
Paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and most other public video links (Twitch, Loom, Dropbox, Google Drive, Pinterest, X, Threads, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili) through a generic importer, or upload a video file, and ScreenApp pulls the audio track out as its own MP3. Nothing to install: it runs in your browser and the MP3 lands in your ScreenApp library, which needs a free account (Yes, free (no card)).
Most people use it for music. They paste a music video, a lyric video or a TV theme and keep the song. The next biggest use is short sounds: a meme, a notification sound or a sound effect from a TikTok or a YouTube Short, kept as a ringtone.
What you get:
- A stereo MP3 at about 190 kbps (variable bitrate), taken straight from the video’s audio track
- A transcript of the audio, so a song comes with its words as text and a talk with every line searchable
- Import from a link or upload a MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, FLV, TS, MTS, M2TS, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, VOB, OGV, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, M2V, F4V, MXF file
- Free videos up to 45 minutes long, 3 imports or uploads on the free plan
- no watermark on any recording or export
How to Extract Audio from a Video
- Paste the link or upload the file: Copy the video’s URL from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook and paste it above, or upload a file from your device.
- Sign in and let it process: ScreenApp downloads the video, keeps only the sound and saves it as an MP3 in your library. It transcribes the audio at the same time.
- Play or download the MP3: Play it in your library for free. Downloading the MP3 file to your device needs a paid plan; see download access.
Already have a video in your ScreenApp library? Ask the AI chat to “extract the audio” and it saves an MP3 copy next to the video, which stays untouched.
The MP3 sounds like the source. A song ripped from an official music video sounds like the video; audio recorded from across a room still sounds that way after extraction.
Which Links Work
Public videos from YouTube (including Shorts and YouTube Music), TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and most other video sites import directly. Paste the video’s own link, not a search page or a profile page.
Some links cannot be imported:
- Spotify and other DRM-protected streaming services: the audio is encrypted, so no extractor can read it
- Private videos, and videos that need a login to watch
- A video with no sound: ScreenApp tells you it has no audio track
Who Extracts Audio from Videos
Music fans are the largest group. They paste an official music video, a lyric video or a live performance and keep the song as an MP3, often Latin pop and reggaeton, film soundtracks and TV themes.
People making ringtones and notification sounds take a meme, a catchphrase or a sound effect from a TikTok, a Short or an Instagram Reel. Most of these are under a minute.
People saving AI-made songs extract tracks that were posted as videos, to play them anywhere.
Listeners who want sound without the screen save sleep sounds, rain and ambient mixes, spiritual music and audiobooks posted as videos, often hours long, so they can play them with the screen off.
