Facebook videos to text
Our Facebook transcript generator works from the link: paste a Reel or video and get every spoken word, with timestamps.
Paste the video link, no download needed. Your first transcript needs no account, and signing up adds 30 minutes.
Only submit public videos you own or are authorized to process. Not affiliated with Facebook or Meta.

How to use the Facebook transcript generator
You don't need a Facebook login. Three steps:
- Copy a public Reel or video link. Tap Share, then Copy link, or copy the address of the video page.
- Paste it above and press Get the script.
- Take the Facebook transcript. It comes back in about 5 to 30 seconds. Copy it for ChatGPT, or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT.
Short fb.watch links work too.
Which Facebook links work
Public Facebook videos up to 10 minutes long. These links work:
- Reels: facebook.com/reel/…
- Watch videos: facebook.com/watch?v=…
- Page videos: facebook.com/PageName/videos/…
- Short links: fb.watch/…
These can't be turned into a transcript from a link, because Facebook only shows them to certain people:
- Private, friends-only and group-only videos.
- Stories.
- Streams that are still live. Wait until the replay is posted as a public video.
If a link fails for one of these reasons, no credit is used.
Facebook video to text, timestamped or plain
Every Facebook transcript has two views. The timestamped view puts the time in front of each line, so you can find a quote or a product mention fast. The plain-text view joins everything into one block for a doc, an email or a caption. You can search inside the transcript in either view.
Download as TXT, SRT or VTT
The TXT transcript is for notes and writing. SRT and VTT are subtitle files: SRT for editors like Premiere, CapCut and DaVinci Resolve, VTT for web players. Upload them with your own copy of the video and the captions line up.
Facebook transcripts in any language
We transcribe the audio with Whisper speech recognition, so it works on Facebook videos with no captions. The spoken language is detected automatically (English, Spanish, Tagalog, Arabic and many more) and the Facebook transcript comes back in that language. We don't translate it.
Who uses Facebook transcripts
- Creators and page managers turn a Reel into a caption, a post or a newsletter section.
- Marketers read how competing Facebook pages pitch a product in their videos.
- Researchers and reporters quote a public Facebook video from its transcript and keep the timestamp.
- Captions for your own videos. Add the SRT file for people who watch with the sound off.
- ChatGPT. Press Copy for ChatGPT and ask it to summarize the video.
Facebook transcript pricing
Each transcript costs one credit per minute of video, rounded up. Plans start at $5.90 a month with a monthly allowance of minutes, or you can buy a one-time credit pack that never expires.
A failed Facebook transcript never costs a credit, whether the video is private, deleted, too long or has no speech.
Tips for a cleaner Facebook transcript
Clear speech gives the best result. Loud music and people talking over each other lower accuracy. Check names and numbers before you share the transcript. If a link doesn't work, open the Facebook video while logged out: if you can't see it, we can't either.
The same box also works for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and RedNote.
