SongFinderByLink
Identify songs from social media video links without a microphone or app
A free browser-based tool that identifies songs from public social media video links by analyzing audio and comparing acoustic fingerprints.
About this launch
SongFinderByLink helps users identify songs playing in social media videos by pasting a link from TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook, or X. The service extracts audio samples from the public video and compares them with a commercial recognition provider's reference fingerprints to return track metadata, artist information, artwork, and streaming links.
Unlike microphone-based apps like Shazam, SongFinderByLink works directly from URLs without requiring a second device or room recording. Users start with 3 free identifications on sign-up, then purchase credits as needed—each identification costs 1 credit whether or not a match is found. Credits never expire and there is no subscription.
The service handles moderate edits and remixes that preserve acoustic structure, but may not identify heavily edited audio, very short clips, creator-only recordings, or obscure tracks not in the recognition provider's database.

Shopper questions
How does SongFinderByLink find a song from a link?
The service accepts a public video URL, extracts short audio samples from the video, and sends those samples to a recognition provider that compares them with acoustic fingerprints in its reference catalogue. When a reliable match is found, it returns the track title, artist, artwork, and available streaming links.
How much does it cost?
Users receive 3 free identifications when they sign up. After that, a single $1.90 pack provides 10 identifications. There is no subscription—credits never expire and users pay only when they need more.
Which platforms are supported?
SongFinderByLink works with TikTok (including short links like vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com), YouTube and YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook videos and Reels, and X (Twitter) videos.
What happens if the song isn't recognized?
An identification consumes 1 credit whether or not a match is found because the full analysis runs. However, if the service itself fails—for example if the video cannot be downloaded—the credit is refunded automatically.
How is this different from Shazam?
Shazam uses microphone-based recognition that analyzes sound played into your device. SongFinderByLink instead requests audio directly from a public video URL, so it does not require a second device or room recording. Both approaches may still return no match for short, noisy, or heavily edited audio.
