How to Download a SoundCloud Track as MP3
On SoundCloud the “Download” button only appears if the artist enabled it, and offline listening needs a Go+ subscription. Skachok saves public tracks as MP3 from a link — free, with no sign-up or software. SoundCloud is the exception: on other platforms audio is part of the paid plans, but here MP3 is open on Free.
For example: https://soundcloud.com/forss/flickermood
How to download — step by step
- 1
Copy the track link
On the website, open the track and copy the address: soundcloud.com/artist/track-name. In the app, tap “…” next to the track → “Share” → “Copy link” — you get a short on.soundcloud.com/… address.
Tip: You need a link to a specific track. If you have a profile address (soundcloud.com/artist) or a playlist (…/sets/…), open the track you want from it and copy its link.

Paste the link into Skachok
Paste the link into the field on the home page and click “Find”. You see the cover, title, duration and an MP3 option (192 kbps) — available without an account and on the free plan.
Tip: On paid plans the “Audio” block shows extra formats — M4A from Lite, OGG from Pro, FLAC from Max.

Download the MP3
Click “Download” — we extract the audio, save it as MP3 and send the file to your Downloads. Without an account — 3 tracks a day, with a free account — 5, on Lite — 20, on Pro — 50, on Max — 100.
Tip: The downloaded MP3 plays in any player — move it to Apple Music, VLC or a USB stick for the car.
Why download from SoundCloud
SoundCloud is home to remixes, demos and podcasts you won't find on streaming services. But all of it lives online only, and only until the author deletes the track.
- Listen offline — on the road, on a plane, anywhere without internet.
- Save a rare remix or demo before the author deletes the track or closes the profile.
- Add the track to your own library or playlist on your phone.
- Use it in a video or podcast edit (with the author's permission).
Supported links
Any of these links will do — the full one from the browser or the short one from the app’s Share button.

Profile links (soundcloud.com/artist) don't work — you need a link to a track
On your phone and computer
On iPhone
In Safari, paste the link and tap “Download”. The MP3 is saved to Files → Downloads — open it right there or add it to any player via “Share”.
On Android
In Chrome the MP3 goes to the Downloads folder and shows up in your music player automatically.
On a computer
- Copy the address from the browser bar, paste it on skachok.com and click “Find”. The file is saved to “Downloads”.
- For 1080p and above we merge video and audio on the server — it takes from 10 seconds to a couple of minutes.
- If your player has no sound, open the file in VLC or pick another quality.
