How to download SoundCloud tracks as MP3

SoundCloud's offline mode needs a paid plan and keeps the files locked inside the app. This guide shows how to save a normal MP3 you can play anywhere, tagged with the title and artist and bundled with the cover art.

Updated · 3 steps · about a minute

  1. Copy the track link

    Tap Share on the track and choose Copy link. Both soundcloud.com/artist/track links and on.soundcloud.com short links from the app work.

  2. Paste it into ClipKoala

    Paste the link on the SoundCloud downloader page. The track appears with its artwork, title, and artist.

  3. Download the MP3

    Click Download MP3. The file saves in the best quality the uploader made available, named after the track, and the cover art is available as a separate download.

  • Support artists you love: buy the track or follow them when you can
