Paste YouTube link

Convert in three steps

  1. Copy the YouTube link. In the YouTube app tap Share, then Copy link. On desktop, copy the address from the bar. Shorts, regular videos, and youtu.be short links all work.
  2. Paste it above and hit Convert. Choose 128 or 320 kbps, then convert. Most videos take a few seconds.
  3. Download the MP3. Click the download button and save the file. Play it anywhere.

Honest quality: what the numbers mean

The converter offers 128 and 320 kbps. Here is what we will not do: pretend every file is true 320 kbps regardless of source. The MP3 bitrate follows the source video, and YouTube audio streams typically range from 128 to 256kbps depending on the video. Picking 320 kbps gives you the best the source allows; it cannot invent detail YouTube discarded. Our 320kbps page explains the setting, and our bitrate guides dig into how the bitrates compare once that hub is live.
