SongByLink

SongByLink is a browser-based song identifier that takes a public video link from TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, or X (Twitter) and returns the song title, artist, cover art, and streaming links. It runs entirely online with no app or second device required.

What is SongByLink?

SongByLink is an online song identification tool that accepts a public video URL as input and outputs the matched song's title, artist, album art, and listening links for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Deezer. It works in the browser on any device, requires no installation, and is operated by SongByLink. Short links such as vm.tiktok.com and youtu.be are also accepted.

How does SongByLink work?

SongByLink extracts the audio track from the linked video, takes a clean 15-second sample, and runs it through audio fingerprinting against a database of over 70 million songs. Results typically appear within 10–20 seconds. Because it fingerprints the original audio stream rather than recording through a microphone, moderately sped-up, slowed, or pitched versions can still match back to the real song.
