These pitfalls catch many users
If the download doesn't work, it's almost always one of these three causes.
Can't find the download button
The "MP3 Download" button only appears in the header of the podcast detail page — not in the dashboard list. Searching the list will not show it.
First click the podcast in the list to open its detail view. The button is in the top right corner.
Podcast still generating
As long as the status reads "Processing", the audio file is not ready yet — the download is only available after completion.
Wait until the status switches to "Ready". Generation takes between 30 seconds and 5 minutes depending on length.
Free plan: publication delay
On the free plan, podcasts are released with a short delay. During the waiting period the download is blocked.
You can see the release time in the detail view. A paid plan unlocks downloads immediately.
3 steps to your MP3 download
Go through these in order — after step 3, the MP3 file is on your device.
Sign in and open the dashboard
Log into learncastai.com with your credentials. You'll land directly in the dashboard with the list of your podcasts.
If you don't have an account yet, you can register for free and create your first podcast right away.
Open the finished podcast
Click the desired podcast title in the list. You'll reach the detail view with the player, script and actions.
Make sure the status reads "Ready". If it shows "Processing", you need to wait a moment until the audio file has been generated.
Click "MP3 Download"
In the top right of the detail page you'll find the "MP3 Download" button. One click starts the download — the file lands in your default download folder.
The filename matches the podcast title as a slug, e.g. "my-learning-podcast.mp3". For children's podcasts, a confirmation dialog appears first asking you to confirm you are an adult.
What you should know about the download
Six helpful facts that answer most questions in advance.
MP3 plays everywhere

Upload problems LearnCastAI — fix errors when uploading files

The most common upload errors and their solutions
The most common upload problems LearnCastAI encounters include: First, an unsupported file format — check that your document is in PDF, DOCX, or TXT format; other formats may not be processed. Second, a file that is too large — the maximum upload limit is currently 50 MB; larger files must be split.

Fourth, connection drops — especially on mobile connections; switch to a stable Wi-Fi and try again.
Preventive measures for smooth uploads
To avoid upload problems LearnCastAI encounters from the start, we recommend the following best practices: always save documents as PDF/A or PDF 1.4 for maximum compatibility. Remove password protection and usage rights from PDFs before uploading. Keep documents under 30 MB for fast and reliable uploads. Use a modern browser in the latest version. Disable browser extensions that may block upload dialogs, such as certain ad blockers or script blockers.
