To get a Facebook video transcript, paste the video or Reel link below and select Get transcript. The speech is transcribed with AI and every line keeps its time in the video. Copy the text or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT. It works for public videos up to 3 minutes, or 10 minutes on Pro.
How to get a Facebook video transcript in 3 steps
- Open the video or Reel on facebook.com and copy its address (it contains /reel/, /videos/ or watch/?v=).
- Paste the link above and select Get transcript.
- Copy the text, or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT.
Which links work
Reel links (facebook.com/reel/…) and video links (facebook.com/watch/?v=… and facebook.com/…/videos/…) work. Short fb.watch links and links to a whole post do not yet: open the video and copy its full address instead.
What you can do with the text
Quote a talk or a recorded live video, paste the text into ChatGPT or Claude, or translate the SRT for subtitles in another language.
