How do I download a NotebookLM Audio Overview?
Short answer
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.
Free or Pro?
Free, with no daily export quota and no website account needed. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get the audio as MP3?
