Convert YouTube to MP3

Step 1: Open YouTube and find the video you want to convert. Copy the URL from the address bar or tap Share and copy the link.

Step 2: Go to the YTMP3 converter at the top of the homepage. Paste the YouTube link into the input box. You can also use the Paste button to automatically insert the link from your clipboard.

Step 3: Make sure the MP3 format is selected. Then choose your bitrate. For music, pick 320kbps for the best sound quality. For podcasts or voice content, 128kbps or 192kbps saves storage space.

Step 4: Click the Convert button. The tool fetches the video info and extracts the audio track. This usually takes 2 to 5 seconds depending on the video length.

Step 5: Once the conversion is done, click Download. The MP3 file saves to your device. On iPhone, check the Files app. On Android, look in the Downloads folder.

When you convert YouTube to MP3, the audio quality depends on the bitrate you choose. YTMP3 offers five bitrates: 320, 256, 192, 128, and 64 kbps.

320kbps gives you the best quality. It is the maximum the MP3 format supports. At this bitrate, the audio sounds identical to the original YouTube source for almost everyone. File size is about 8 MB per minute of audio.

192kbps is a good middle ground for podcasts and voice content. The file is about 5 MB per minute and the quality is perfectly fine for spoken word.

128kbps is the minimum we recommend for music. At this bitrate, you may notice a slight loss in high frequencies, but the file is smaller at about 3 MB per minute.

For the best experience, always pick the highest quality available. Free download YouTube to MP3 at 320kbps when storage is not a concern.
