About this tool
Sometimes the picture is the part you do not need. This tool strips the video track and encodes the audio to MP3 at 192 kbps — roughly 1.4 MB for every minute — a size that fits comfortably on a phone yet sounds full on headphones and speakers. Want the stream exactly as YouTube delivers it? Choose M4A. Planning to cut or mix the audio? Choose WAV.
All the work runs on our servers rather than on your device, which is why it works just as well on a tablet or phone as on a desktop. You never create an account, never install software, and the finished file is wiped from the server 15 minutes after it is produced.
How it works
-
1
Grab the link
On YouTube, use Share → Copy link, or copy the URL from the address bar of your browser.
-
2
Paste it in and hit “Get video”
The Audio tab appears with MP3 already chosen for you.
-
3
Save the file
Click Download. Conversion takes a few seconds and the MP3 lands on your device.
What you get
192 kbps quality
Clear sound for music and speech without bloated file sizes.
Other formats
M4A keeps the original stream; WAV gives you uncompressed audio for editing.
Phone, tablet or computer
Runs in any modern browser on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.
Automatic clean-up
Every converted file is deleted from our server after 15 minutes.
Questions about this tool
Why 192 kbps and not 320?
YouTube delivers audio at roughly 160 kbps at most. Encoding at 320 kbps would double the file size without adding any detail the source does not have; 192 kbps keeps everything that is there.
Can I convert several videos at once?
No — the tool handles a single link per request. For an album or a playlist, convert the tracks one by one.
Are YouTube Music links supported?
They are. Paste a music.youtube.com address and it is treated like any other video link.
Am I allowed to save YouTube audio as MP3?
That depends on the content: your own uploads, material under a permissive licence, or anything the rights holder lets you download are fine. Review your local law and YouTube’s Terms of Service for the rest.
