Method 1: Using Third-Party Online Tools

One of the easiest ways to save audio from Facebook Reels is by using online tools. These websites are designed to extract audio from video URLs, and they're super user-friendly. Keep in mind that while these tools are convenient, it's essential to use them responsibly and respect copyright laws.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Find the Reel: First, head over to Facebook and find the Reel with the audio you want to save. This might involve a bit of scrolling, but patience is key. Facebook is also teeming with many reels that can be inspiring and also educational.
2. Copy the Reel Link: Once you've found the Reel, click on the three dots (usually located in the top right or bottom right corner of the Reel). A menu will pop up. Select "Copy Link". This copies the Reel's URL to your clipboard. If you are doing this on a PC, simply copy the link from the address bar.
3. Choose an Online Tool: Now, open a new tab in your browser and search for "Facebook Reel audio downloader" or "online video to audio converter". You'll find a bunch of options, such as YTMP3, SaveTheVideo, or KeepVid. Pick one that looks trustworthy and easy to use. Make sure that the website that you choose is secure, with an SSL certificate.
4. Paste the Link: On the online tool's website, you'll usually see a field where you can paste the video URL. Paste the link you copied from Facebook into this field. Be sure to check that you have pasted the correct link.
5. Convert and Download: Click the "Convert" or "Download" button. The website will process the video and extract the audio. You'll usually have a choice of audio formats (like MP3). Select your preferred format and click the "Download" button again. It is recommended to use MP3 format to save space.
6. Save the Audio: Your browser will prompt you to save the audio file to your computer or device. Choose a location and rename the file if you want. Click "Save," and you're done! Saving the audio to the correct folder will ensure that you can locate it easily.

Note: Always be cautious when using online tools. Some websites may contain ads or malware. Use a reputable tool and have an antivirus program running on your device. Some of these websites may also contain redirects, so be sure to check them.

Method 2: Using Mobile Apps

If you're primarily using your phone, there are several mobile apps that can help you save audio from Facebook Reels directly to your device. These apps are usually available on both the App Store (for iOS) and the Google Play Store (for Android).

Here's how to do it:

1. Find an App: Head to your app store and search for "Facebook video downloader" or "video to MP3 converter." Some popular options include Snaptube, Video Downloader for Facebook, and FB Video Downloader. Read the reviews and choose an app with good ratings and a clean interface. Choose an app that is within the storage limit of your mobile phone.
2. Install and Open the App: Once you've found an app, download and install it on your device. Open the app and grant it any necessary permissions (like access to your storage). Be sure to read the terms and conditions before you agree to it. You should also check what permissions the app requires, and ensure that you are comfortable with these permissions.
3. Browse or Paste the Link: Some apps have a built-in browser that lets you browse Facebook directly within the app. Others require you to copy the Reel link from the Facebook app and paste it into the downloader app. If the app has a built-in browser, log in to your Facebook account and find the Reel you want. If not, follow the steps in Method 1 to copy the Reel link.
4. Download the Audio: Once you've found the Reel, the app should give you an option to download the audio. This might be a button labeled "Download Audio," "Extract MP3," or something similar. Tap the button and choose your desired audio format (usually MP3). Downloading to the correct folder will ensure that you can find it easily.
5. Save the Audio: The app will download the audio file to your device. You can usually find it in your device's "Downloads" folder or in a folder created by the app. The download times may depend on your internet speed and also the file size.

Note: Just like with online tools, be careful when choosing a mobile app. Some apps may contain malware or excessive ads. Stick to reputable apps with good reviews and be mindful of the permissions you grant.

Method 3: Using Screen Recording (Workaround)

If the above methods aren't working for you, or if you prefer a more direct approach, you can use screen recording to capture the audio. This method involves recording the Reel while it's playing and then extracting the audio from the recording. This method is a little clunkier, but it can be a lifesaver if other options fail.

Here's how to do it:

1. Enable Screen Recording: Most smartphones have a built-in screen recording feature. On iOS, you can find it in the Control Center. On Android, it's usually in the Quick Settings panel. If you don't see it, you may need to add it in your device's settings. Some devices may also require you to download a screen recorder from the app store. Common screen recorders include AZ Screen Recorder and DU Recorder.
2. Prepare to Record: Open the Facebook app and find the Reel with the audio you want to save. Make sure your device's volume is turned up, and close any other apps that might interfere with the recording.
3. Start Recording: Start the screen recording and immediately play the Reel. Let the Reel play through to the end, or until you've captured all the audio you need. Ensure that there are no other background noises when you are recording.
4. Stop Recording: Once you're done, stop the screen recording. The recording will be saved as a video file in your device's gallery or camera roll.
5. Extract the Audio: Now, you need to extract the audio from the video file. You can use a video to audio converter app or online tool for this. Follow the steps in Method 1 or Method 2 to convert the video to an MP3 file. There are many free video editing tools that you can use.
6. Save the Audio: Save the audio file to your device. You now have the audio from the Facebook Reel!

Note: This method captures everything on your screen, so make sure you don't have any sensitive information visible during the recording. Also, the audio quality may not be as good as with other methods, but it's a decent workaround.

Respect Copyright and Usage Rights

Before you start saving audio from Facebook Reels, it's super important to understand copyright and usage rights. Just because you can download the audio doesn't mean you can use it however you want. Content creators put a lot of effort into their work, and it's essential to respect their rights.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Personal Use is Usually Okay: If you're using the audio for personal enjoyment (like creating a ringtone or adding it to your personal videos), you're usually in the clear. For example, you can use this audio for your personal videos, such as birthday celebrations, weddings, etc.
• Commercial Use Requires Permission: If you plan to use the audio for commercial purposes (like in a business video or advertisement), you need to get permission from the copyright holder. This might involve contacting the creator of the Reel or the music label that owns the song.
• Attribution is Appreciated: Even if you're using the audio for personal use, it's always a good idea to give credit to the creator. This shows respect for their work and helps them gain recognition. For example, you can add the username of the content creator.
• Be Mindful of Remixing and Mashups: If you're creating remixes or mashups, be sure to comply with copyright laws. This might involve obtaining licenses or permissions from the copyright holders of the original songs. Some mashups may also have content that is not suitable for all ages.
