How it works

Three steps. That's it.

From a link in your browser bar to an audio file on your device. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.

  1. 1

    Copy the video link

    Open the video on YouTube and copy its link. In the app, tap Share, then Copy link. In a browser, copy the address from the address bar. Single videos, Shorts, live replays and YouTube Music tracks all work.

  2. 2

    Paste it and pick a format

    Paste the link into the box, then choose MP3, M4A, OPUS, WAV or FLAC. For MP3 you can also pick 128, 192 or 320 kbps. 192 kbps is a good default.

  3. 3

    Convert and download

    Press Convert. A status page shows the download and conversion progress, and a Download button appears when your file is ready. Save it right away: files are deleted after 30 minutes.

Formats

Five formats. One for every job.

Small and universal, Apple-friendly, space-saving or lossless for editing. Pick what suits where the audio is going.

MP3

Plays everywhere

The universal choice. Encoded at a constant 128, 192 or 320 kbps, and plays on every phone, car stereo, laptop and smart speaker.

Best for
Music libraries, podcasts, sharing
File size
About 1–2.4 MB per minute

WAV

Lossless

Uncompressed

Uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio at the source's sample rate. Large files, but every editor and DAW opens them instantly.

Best for
Video editing, DAWs, sampling
File size
About 10–12 MB per minute

M4A

Apple-friendly AAC

AAC audio in an MP4 container, at about 128 kbps. It usually sounds a little better than MP3 at the same size and plays natively on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Best for
Apple devices and the Music app
File size
About 1 MB per minute

OPUS

Original YouTube audio

A modern, very efficient codec. YouTube usually delivers audio as Opus, so this option typically saves the original stream as-is, with no re-encoding. Some older players can't open it.

Best for
Keeping the source audio, speech, saving space
File size
About 1 MB per minute

FLAC

Lossless

Lossless, with tags

Lossless like WAV, in a format built for archiving that supports tags. It keeps the full precision of the decoded audio, so files are often about as large as WAV.

Best for
Archiving, lossless music players
File size
About 6–13 MB per minute

How long do you keep my files?

Converted files and their job details are deleted automatically about 30 minutes after you start the conversion, so download yours straight away.

Can I convert any video I find?

Only convert videos you own, that are in the public domain or under a license such as Creative Commons that allows it, or that you have the rights holder's permission to use.
