Free Song Identifier for Video Links

Each identification uses 1 credit whether or not a match is found. Credits are refunded automatically if our service fails.
How to Identify a Song from a Video Link
No app or second device required: paste a public video link and identify the song in three clear steps.
Paste a Video Link
Copy the URL of any video from TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, or X. Open the video, tap the share button, and copy the link. That's all we need.
AI Analyzes the Audio
Our AI extracts the audio track from the video, takes a clean 15-second sample, and runs it through audio fingerprinting against a database of over 70 million songs.
Get the Song & Streaming Links
Within 10–20 seconds you'll see the song title, artist, and album art — plus direct links to listen on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Deezer.
A Clearer Way to Identify Music from Video Links
SongByLink analyzes the audio stream in the link itself, rather than relying on microphone recording.

One Pack, 10 Identifications

No App Required
Unlike Shazam or SoundHound, nothing to download or install. SongByLink works entirely in your browser on any device.
5 Platforms, One Tool
TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and X — all supported in one place, including short links like vm.tiktok.com.
Works on Sped-Up & Slowed Remixes
Because we fingerprint the original audio stream, moderately sped-up, slowed, or pitched versions still match back to the real song.
Transparent Charging
1 credit per identification, match or not. If our service fails — extraction error or system error — the credit is refunded automatically.
Why a Song May Not Be Recognized
Our recognition is highly accurate for published music worldwide, but no identifier is perfect. The most common reasons a track can't be matched:
Original or Unpublished Audio
If the creator recorded their own music or voiceover, or the track was never officially released, there is no matching record in the database.
Extreme Remixes or Speed Changes
Songs that are heavily remixed, drastically sped up or slowed down, or layered under loud effects may differ too much from the original recording.
Very Short or Noisy Clips
If the music plays only briefly, or talking and crowd noise drown it out, the audio sample may not be clean enough for a confident match.
Obscure or Regional Tracks
The database covers 70+ million songs across all major genres and languages, but some very niche or regional tracks may not be indexed yet.
