Facebook is the most popular social media platform in the world, and its video streaming platform is gaining popularity as well.
While scrolling through your Facebook feed, you may come across a video that has catchy audio.
Facebook, by default, does not allow you to download its video. However, there are third-party sites that can extract the videos from Facebook.
But, what if you only want to extract audio from a Facebook video? You can do that with the help of audio converter software.
Well, again, we turn towards third-party sites that can help you extract audio from any video on the internet, including Facebook.
In this article, we show you the five ways to extract audio from Facebook videos, but in order to do so, you will need to first know how to get the URL from Facebook.
Get a Facebook video URL
- On the video that you want to download, click the three dots menu.
- Select Copy link.
- Now the video URL is on your clipboard. If you have multiple videos to download, copy all the URLs and save it to a Notepad file.
Now let’s take a look at the online services and offline apps that can help you extract audio from a Facebook video.
How can I download audio from Facebook videos?
Save From – Web integration tool
Save from is a good and accessible solution because it lets you download Facebook videos directly from your browser, without requiring you to install software to your PC.
Yes, it is a video downloader, but you can always extract audio from the videos using the best MP4 to MP3 converters.
It is very easy to use, as you will see in the instructions below. The platform lets you download MP4 and WEBM, and you can select the mpx quality for each video (up to 1080).
- Open Save From on your web browser.
- Enter the copied Facebook video URL.
- The downloader will process the video link and show the available download options.
- Click the Download MP4 button to download the video.
Save From can be safely used on any major browser. It is also available as a Google Chrome extension.
As you download directly from the browser, the video files will go to your designated download folder, or you will have to pick it up on the spot if that’s how your browser is set up.
Another nifty feature provided by Savefrom.net is the web integration tool. It lets you create a download button for a video of your choice and place it on your website. The integration script works with YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and VK.com.

Just as in the case of Savefrom, Getfvid files will be saved in the location you picked in your browser settings.
