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

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. Without captions, PageSum summarizes the start of the replay: the first 3 minutes on the free plan, the first 10 minutes on Pro.
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?
Videos in private groups, friends-only posts, and videos with only background music. PageSum needs a public link and someone talking.
