🎉 Direct File Upload is Now Live. Try it!

Direct File Upload is now available, no URL required. If your video or audio is sitting on your device, you can upload it directly and get an accurate AI-powered transcript in seconds.

We first teased Direct File Upload as a "Coming Soon" feature — today it is fully live on FacebookToTranscript.com.

No video URL? No problem. Drag and drop — or browse and select — any audio or video file from your device and get a full AI-powered transcript in under two minutes. Free, no account required.

📁 Supported File Formats

Direct File Upload supports all major audio and video formats:


Maximum file size: 150 MB. A warning is shown for files above 100 MB.

⚙️ How It Works

The upload uses a secure three-step pipeline so your file is handled safely and efficiently:


🕐 Long Recording Support — Time Segments

For files longer than 15 minutes, you can select a 15-minute time segment to transcribe exactly the portion you need — no need to process an entire hour-long recording at once. Segments are available from 0–15 minutes up to 225–240 minutes.

🌍 Multi-Language Transcription

Select any of 90+ supported languages before uploading, or leave it on Auto to let Whisper detect the language automatically.

📄 Download Formats

Once transcription is complete, download your transcript in three formats:


🔒 Privacy First

Uploaded files are automatically deleted within 2 hours. No data is stored beyond your session, and no login is required at any point.
