YouTube to MP3 converter
Paste a YouTube link and save the audio as an MP3 file, with the title and cover art already filled in. No sign-up and nothing to install.
How it works
Copy the video link
In the YouTube app, tap Share, then Copy link. On a computer, copy the address from the browser bar.
Paste it and pick a format
Paste the link above, then choose MP3 and the quality you want.
Download the file
When the file is ready, press Download. It saves to your device's Downloads folder.
Which MP3 quality should you choose?
YouTube streams audio at roughly 128–160 kbps. Converting to a higher bitrate can't add detail that isn't in the source, but it does stop the conversion itself from losing more. That's why 320 kbps is the default: it's the closest you can get to what YouTube plays.
Pick a lower bitrate when file size matters more than fidelity — for podcasts, lectures or a phone that's short on space. If you want the audio exactly as YouTube stores it, choose M4A instead: it's copied without re-encoding.
| Bitrate | Per minute | A 4-minute song | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 128 kbps | ~1 MB | ~3.8 MB | Speech, podcasts |
| 192 kbps | ~1.4 MB | ~5.8 MB | Everyday listening |
| 256 kbps | ~1.9 MB | ~7.7 MB | Music on good headphones |
| 320 kbps | ~2.4 MB | ~9.6 MB | Keeping the most detail |
What you get
Title and cover art included
MP3 files get the video's title, channel name and thumbnail written into their tags, so they look right in your music app.
No account, nothing to install
It runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers. You don't need to sign up or install an app.
An original-quality option
Choose M4A to get the audio exactly as YouTube stores it, copied without re-encoding.
Popular videos are ready fast
If a video was converted recently, the same file is reused and your download starts right away.
Files are deleted after 24 hours
Converted files are removed automatically. We don't ask for your name or email.
Clear errors, not dead ends
If a video can't be converted, the converter tells you why — for example, that it's private or a live stream.

Questions and answers
Is this YouTube to MP3 converter free?
Yes. There's no account to create and no daily limit.
Which bitrate should I choose?
320 kbps keeps the most detail and is the default. 192 kbps is a good balance for everyday listening, and 128 kbps is enough for speech. The table above shows the file sizes.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in any modern browser. On iPhone, downloaded files go to the Files app, in the Downloads folder. On Android, they go to your Downloads folder.
Is there a length limit?
You can convert videos up to 3 hours long. Longer videos, and live streams while they're still live, aren't supported.
Why does my MP3 have a picture?
The video's thumbnail is embedded as cover art, and the title and channel name are saved as tags. Music apps use them to show the track properly.
Do you keep the files I convert?
Converted files are deleted automatically after 24 hours. We don't ask for your name, email or any account details.
Can I convert a whole playlist?
Not yet. Paste the link of one video at a time. If a link contains a playlist, only the video it points to is converted.
What am I allowed to download?
Only videos you own or have permission to use — for example your own uploads, or videos published under a Creative Commons license.
