Save and transcribe public Facebook media, right from your browser
Global Media Tools is a free set of utilities for working with publicly accessible Facebook videos, images, and stories, plus a transcription tool that turns speech into text, SRT, or VTT subtitles — in dozens of languages.
Only use these tools on content you own or have permission to download. Private, restricted, or authentication-protected content is never supported — see our privacy and terms pages for details.

Transcription languages
Transcription quality and language coverage depend on your browser's speech-recognition engine and, for uploaded files, the connected speech-to-text provider. Commonly supported languages include English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Hindi, Marathi, Arabic, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, with automatic language detection where the underlying engine supports it.
Built for a worldwide audience
Global Media Tools is used from Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia/Oceania. The interface, tool logic, and legal pages are written to work the same way everywhere; translated versions of key pages are added only once they've been properly localized, not machine-generated in bulk.
