How to Download Spotify Music on Mobile (Android and iPhone)

Daniel CarterBy Daniel CarterPublished July 2, 20265 min read

Mobile is where we listen to the most music, so it makes total sense to want to save Spotify songs directly on your phone to listen offline without using data. The good news is you don't need to install any app: everything happens in the browser you already have. In this guide we explain how to download Spotify music on Android and iPhone with PullVid.

No apps, all from the browser

Forget about installing "Spotify downloader" apps from the store: you don't need them, and many are a magnet for aggressive ads or unnecessary permissions. PullVid works in Chrome (Android) or Safari (iPhone) with nothing to install. You copy the song link in the Spotify app, switch to your browser, paste it, and download. That simple, on any phone.

On Android

  1. Copy the link: in the Spotify app, tap the three dots on the song → Share → Copy Link.
  2. Open Chrome and go to PullVid; paste the link into the search field.
  3. Choose MP3 and download: the audio saves to your phone's Downloads folder.
  4. Listen to it from your player or favorite music app, now offline.

On iPhone

  1. Copy the link: in the Spotify app, tap the three dots on the song → Share → Copy Link.
  2. Open Safari and go to PullVid; paste the link.
  3. Choose MP3 and download: the file lands in the Files app, usually under Downloads.
  4. Move it to your player if you'd like, and listen offline.

Where the audio comes from

Same as on PC, on mobile Spotify's audio is protected with DRM and can't be extracted directly. What PullVid does is read the song's artist and title, find that same track on YouTube, and give you its MP3. It's the same song, for your personal use; the audio simply comes from a source that does allow downloading it. We don't download "the Spotify file" because that's not possible.

Tips for mobile

  • Use the app's Share button, don't copy text by hand: that way you're sure to grab the song's correct link.
  • Check where the files land: on Android, the Downloads folder; on iPhone, the Files app.
  • Don't install anything: if a site asks you to install an app to "speed up the download," be suspicious and close it.

Ready to listen offline

With these steps you've got your Spotify music on your phone to listen to without data, on the subway, on a flight, or wherever there's no signal. Start now from your phone: download Spotify music with PullVid. And remember: it's for personal use, so keep supporting the artists by listening to them on their platform too.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install an app to download on mobile?

No. Everything happens in the browser (Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone). You don't need to install any "Spotify downloader."

Where does the song save on Android?

In your phone's Downloads folder. From there you can play it with any music app or move it wherever you want.

And where does it land on iPhone?

In the Files app, usually under Downloads. From there you can move it to your favorite player.

Is it the same song I listen to on Spotify?

Yes. Since the original audio is encrypted with DRM, we look up that same track on YouTube by artist and title and give you its MP3. It's the same song, for personal use.

Does it work without a Spotify Premium account?

Yes. You don't need Premium, sign-up, or payment — just the song's public link.

Does it use a lot of data?

Only what the download itself uses. Once saved, you listen to the song offline without using any data.

Use our free tool — no sign-up, no limits.
