Text to Speech Download: Save Your AI Audio Files Fish Audio

Every generation here is a file you can download and use anywhere: how downloads work on desktop and mobile, what to do with the audio, and where it fits a credit pack from $9.

Some tools make audio feel rented: previews you can hear but not keep. Here it is the opposite — every generation is a file, and the file is the point. You generate speech, download it, and use it wherever the work happens: an editor, a course platform, a podcast pipeline.

This guide covers how downloads work, what to do with the files, and what it costs.

What does download mean here?

The product is file-based from the first step:

  • A generation is a file. When the speech is generated, the audio is yours to download and keep — see the browser workspace for how the flow works end to end.
  • No app, no lock-in. Downloads happen in the browser on desktop and mobile; there is nothing to install and no project format to export from.
  • The script stays behind. The workspace keeps your scripts and voices, which is what makes a lost file a small problem instead of a re-record.

How do downloads work on desktop and mobile?

Desktop is the comfortable place for long scripts: generate, review the take, download the file into your project folder like any other asset. Mobile covers the on-the-go cases — a short-form narration written in a notes app and generated between shoots. The file leaves through the same browser download either way: on desktop it lands in your downloads folder; on mobile the browser offers its usual save or share options.

Two habits keep a project tidy:

  • Name files by project and take, not by date.
  • Keep the script next to the audio, so a fix later is a re-generation of one paragraph.

What do people do with the files?

The same download feeds every downstream workflow on this site:

What happens when a file needs a change?

Regenerate the paragraph, not the project. Because the script and the voice are both saved, a fix costs the characters you re-render — one credit per 1,000 characters — and the new download replaces the old file by name. That is the whole maintenance story: keep scripts, regenerate lines, re-download.

What does it cost?

You pay for generation, not for saving:

  • One credit covers about 1,000 characters — roughly 10 minutes of finished audio is about 9 credits.
  • A month of daily 30 second videos is about 14 credits.
  • The $9 Starter pack holds 1,000 credits, so a normal project sits far inside one pack.

Packs are one-time purchases, credits stay valid for 12 months, and there is no subscription to cancel. Monetized work and client deliverables add the $29 Creator pack for commercial usage rights — the commercial use guide covers what each pack includes.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an app to download the audio?

No. The workspace runs in a modern browser, and the finished generation downloads to your device like any other browser download. Nothing to install, nothing to keep updated.

Where do the downloaded files go?

Wherever your browser puts downloads — usually the Downloads folder on desktop, or the share sheet on mobile. Each generation is a file you can move into any editor, app or archive.

What if I lose a file months later?

Regenerate it. The workspace keeps your scripts, and the same voice re-renders the same text for the same character cost — one credit per 1,000 characters.

Does downloading cost extra?

No. You pay for generation, not for saving: a download is simply how the finished audio leaves the workspace. Credits are spent when the speech is generated, and the $9 Starter pack holds 1,000 credits.

Can I use downloaded audio commercially?

Commercial usage rights start with the $29 Creator pack. The download does not change what the license allows — the pack you generate with does.
