How to convert a YouTube video to MP3
- Copy the video link – Open the video or song on YouTube and copy its link (Share → Copy link or the address bar).
- Paste it above – Insert the link into the box at the top of this page and press “Convert to MP3”.
- Pick an audio format – The audio formats are shown first — choose MP3 for maximum compatibility or M4A for slightly better quality per file size.
- Save the audio – The file is downloaded with the video title as its name and plays in any music or podcast app.
Just the sound — as MP3 or M4A
Sometimes you do not need the picture at all: a song, a podcast episode, a lecture or an interview. This converter extracts the audio track of the YouTube video and offers it as a direct download. MP3 plays literally everywhere; M4A (AAC) gives a little more quality at the same file size and is the format Apple devices prefer. The list always shows the best audio quality YouTube provides for that video first.
A typical song ends up as a file of only 3–10 MB, so audio downloads are fast even on a mobile connection — and a downloaded episode is ready for offline listening on a flight, in the car or at the gym.
Please use this responsibly: download audio only from videos you own or have permission to save, and support the artists and creators you love through the official channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the YouTube to MP3 converter free?
Yes. You can extract and download the audio of YouTube videos for free, without an account and without installing anything.
What audio quality will I get?
You receive the best audio stream YouTube provides for that video — commonly AAC/M4A or Opus up to about 160 kbps, and MP3 where offered. The exact bitrate is shown next to each format in the list; higher is better.
What is the difference between MP3 and M4A?
MP3 is the universal classic and plays on every device and in every app. M4A (AAC) sounds slightly better at the same bitrate and is the standard format on iPhone and iTunes/Apple Music. For normal listening you will barely hear a difference — pick MP3 if in doubt.
Can I convert a whole playlist to MP3?
No — this tool handles one video at a time. Paste each video link separately. That keeps the tool fast and simple, and the files get their correct titles.
How can I download lagu (songs) from YouTube as MP3?
Open the song on YouTube, copy its link and paste it into the box above. The audio formats appear first — pick MP3 (or M4A) and the song (lagu) is saved to your device, ready for offline listening.
Is it OK to download music from YouTube?
Only download audio that you own or have permission to save — for example your own uploads, Creative Commons music or public-domain recordings. For commercial music, please use the official services so the artists get paid.
