Open the Audio Overview in the Studio panel, open its menu and choose Download. NotebookLM saves the audio file to your computer, one overview at a time. NotebookLM Ultra Exporter lists Audio Overviews across all notebooks for download, and with Pro publishes them to a private podcast feed.

## What to know

- The download keeps the format NotebookLM provides; the extension does not convert it to MP3.
- The overview must have finished generating.
- There is no built-in transcript download.

> Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I get the audio as MP3?

Use an audio converter on the downloaded file if a device needs MP3. Most players handle the original format.
