TikTok & Reels Song Finder
Paste a TikTok or Instagram Reel link. AI listens to the video, finds every song in it, and saves them as a playlist in Spotify or Apple Music.
PlaylistAI is an iOS app that finds the songs in TikToks and Reels from just the link. It reads the caption, the attached sound, and the audio itself, so it works on edits, mashups, and slideshows that play several songs, not only videos that use one official sound. You get a real playlist in your library, not just a song name to type into Spotify.

How it works
1. Copy the link
In TikTok or Instagram, tap Share and copy the link to the video, or tap Share → PlaylistAI to skip the copy step entirely.
2. Paste it in PlaylistAI
Open the “TikToks & Reels” option and paste the link. Short vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com links work too.
3. Get the playlist
AI identifies each song, matches it on Spotify or Apple Music, and saves the playlist to your library. It usually takes a minute or two, and you can leave the screen while it works.
What you can make
Every song, not just the sound
Videos that switch between tracks, DJ edits, and “songs that feel like…” compilations come back as a full list, up to 80 songs.
TikTok and Instagram Reels
Paste links from tiktok.com, vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com, instagram.com, or instagr.am. Both video posts and TikTok photo slideshows work.
Straight to Spotify or Apple Music
The songs are saved as a playlist in your Spotify or Apple Music library, ready to play. No copying song names by hand.
Share sheet shortcut
Tap Share on any TikTok or Reel and choose PlaylistAI. The playlist is built without leaving the app you are in.
Works with free Spotify
You do not need Spotify Premium. Any Spotify or Apple Music account can save the playlist.
More ways to build playlists
The same app turns text prompts, festival posters, and your top tracks into playlists for Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Deezer.
How to find a song from a TikTok
Most TikTok song finders only read the “original sound” attached to a video, which fails the moment a creator uses a mashup, a sped-up edit, or a slideshow that cycles through several tracks. PlaylistAI takes the link, downloads the post, and combines three sources of evidence: the caption and any song tags the creator added, the attached sound, and the audio itself. AI merges them into a clean title and artist list, then searches Spotify or Apple Music for each track. If you just want the one song, it is the first item in your new playlist; if the video plays ten songs, you get all ten.
Finding the song in an Instagram Reel
Instagram does not link Reel audio to Spotify or Apple Music, and Shazam often misses Reels that layer a voiceover over the music. PlaylistAI treats a Reel exactly like a TikTok: paste the instagram.com link, or share the Reel to PlaylistAI from Instagram’s share sheet, and the songs are identified and saved as a playlist. Reels that are re-uploaded TikToks, trend edits, and “add these to your playlist” carousels all work the same way.
TikTok song finder vs Shazam
Shazam identifies a single song from live audio, so you have to play the video out loud and catch it before the track changes. A link-based TikTok song finder never needs the microphone: it works from the post itself, keeps going when the video switches songs, and saves the result somewhere useful. PlaylistAI is built for the second case, when a video introduces you to several songs at once and you want to keep them.
Limits to know about
PlaylistAI is an iOS and iPadOS app, so the song finder runs on iPhone and iPad, not on Android or in a web browser. Playlists from TikToks and Reels can be saved to Spotify or Apple Music (the app’s other features also support Amazon Music and Deezer). Songs that are not in the Spotify or Apple Music catalog, such as unreleased tracks or creator-only sounds, are skipped, and the app tells you how many songs were matched. Analysis is rate-limited to a handful of videos per hour per account to keep the free tier sustainable.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a song from a TikTok?
Copy the TikTok link (Share → Copy link), open PlaylistAI, choose “TikToks & Reels”, and paste it. AI identifies every song in the video and saves them as a playlist in your Spotify or Apple Music library. You can also tap Share → PlaylistAI directly inside TikTok.
Can it find the song in an Instagram Reel?
Yes. Paste any instagram.com Reel link, or share the Reel to PlaylistAI from Instagram’s share sheet. Reels are handled exactly like TikToks.
Does it find songs from a TikTok link only, without the audio?
You only provide the link. PlaylistAI fetches the post, reads the caption and attached sound, and listens to the audio server-side, so you never have to play the video out loud or hold your phone up to a speaker.
Does it work for videos with multiple songs?
Yes, that is what it is built for. Edits, mashups, and slideshows that play several tracks come back as a full playlist of up to 80 songs.
Is the TikTok song finder free?
PlaylistAI is free to download and includes free playlist credits. PlaylistAI Pro is $29.99 per year with a 7-day free trial and removes the limit. You do not need Spotify Premium.
Which music services can it save to?
Playlists made from TikToks and Reels save to Spotify or Apple Music. PlaylistAI’s prompt, festival-poster, and top-tracks playlists also work with Amazon Music and Deezer.
Is there an Android or web version?
No. PlaylistAI is an iOS and iPadOS app. The TikTok and Reels song finder runs on iPhone and iPad only.
What if a song is not found?
Songs that are not on Spotify or Apple Music, such as unreleased tracks, remixes that only exist on TikTok, or original creator sounds, are skipped. The app shows how many songs were matched and saved.
How long does it take?
Usually a minute or two, depending on the length of the video. You can leave the screen; the finished playlist appears in your Listen tab and in your music app.
