How It Works

How to summarize a Facebook video

  1. Copy the video link

    On Facebook, tap Share, then Copy link. Reel, Watch, Live replay and fb.watch links all work.

  2. Paste it into PageSum

    Paste the link and pick Quick for a short overview or Key Points for a list you can act on.

  3. Read the summary

    PageSum uses the video's captions, or transcribes the audio with AI when there are none, and writes the summary.

What You Get

Built for Facebook videos

No captions needed

Most Facebook Reels have no captions. PageSum transcribes the audio with AI, so you still get a summary.

Transcript included

Copy the transcript, or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT. Free on every plan.

Full Lives on Max

A Live replay, sermon or webinar without captions is transcribed up to 90 minutes on Max, enough for most full Lives. Free covers the first 5 minutes, Pro the first 25.

Any language

Summaries in 36 languages. Get an English summary of a Thai, Spanish or Hindi video.

Ask about the video

Ask which product was mentioned or what the steps were. 1 question a day free, unlimited on Pro.

Saved and searchable

Every summary lands in your history, so the Reel you saw last week is one search away.

All 6 summary modes

PRO

Detailed, ELI5, ELI10 and One-Liner on top of Quick and Key Points.

Unlimited videos

PRO

The free plan includes 1 video a day. Pro has no daily limit.

Steps from how-to videos

When a video teaches a procedure (a recipe, a garden remedy, a repair), you also get numbered steps and a list of the materials, with the amounts the creator says.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI summarize a Facebook video?

Yes. Paste a Facebook video link into PageSum and it summarizes what is said in the video. If the video has captions, PageSum uses them; if not, it transcribes the audio with AI first.

Is the Facebook video summarizer free?

Yes. The free plan includes 1 video summary a day, in Quick or Key Points mode. No credit card is needed.

Does it work with Facebook Reels?

Yes. Public Reels work, including share links like facebook.com/share/r/…. Most Reels have no captions, so PageSum transcribes the audio.

Can I summarize a Facebook Live?

Yes, once the Live has ended and the replay is public. The free plan covers the first 5 minutes of any video. With captions, Pro covers any length. Without captions, Pro covers up to 25 minutes and Max up to 90, enough for most full Lives, sermons and webinars.

Can I get the transcript of a Facebook video?

Yes. Every video summary comes with its transcript. Copy it with one click, or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT subtitles.

Which Facebook videos don't work?

Links to videos in private groups or friends-only posts, because PageSum opens links as a logged-out visitor and never signs in to your account, and videos with only background music. If you have the video file, upload it instead (MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 50 MB) and PageSum transcribes and summarizes it the same way.

Can it turn a Facebook recipe or how-to video into written steps?

Yes. When a video walks through a procedure, such as a recipe, a homemade fertilizer or a repair, PageSum adds a Steps card above the summary: the materials or ingredients first, then numbered steps with the amounts and times that are spoken. Advice, news and motivation videos get no steps, only the summary.
