Convert YouTube Videos to MP3 in High Quality
This YouTube to MP3 converter extracts the original audio stream from a video rather than re-recording it, so the MP3 you download keeps the quality of the source. Where YouTube provides a high bitrate track, you can convert YouTube to MP3 at up to 320kbps.
If you would rather keep the audio in its native format, you can also download M4A, Opus, or WAV instead of MP3. M4A and Opus avoid a re-encode entirely, which preserves the most detail for music.
MP3 output up to 320kbps for music, podcasts, and lectures
M4A, Opus, and WAV available as alternative audio formats
Audio extracted from the source stream, not re-recorded
Works with long videos, including full albums and DJ sets
Free YouTube to MP3 — No Software Required
The converter runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no extension to add. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and you can start converting as a guest without creating an account.
There are no ads, no watermarks, and no tracking. Signing up for a free account adds 60 credits and a download history, but it is optional.
Is Converting YouTube to MP3 Legal?
Downloading audio you own, content published under a permissive licence, or material you have the copyright holder's permission to save is generally fine. Converting copyrighted music you do not have rights to is not, and it may also breach YouTube's terms of service.
Use this tool for your own recordings, royalty-free and Creative Commons audio, public domain material, or content you have explicit permission to download.
