How to convert a YouTube video to MP3
yotomp3.com is a browser-based YouTube to MP3 converter: nothing to install, no extension to add and no account to create. The whole thing takes three steps and normally finishes in a few seconds.
- Copy the YouTube link. A full watch URL
(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…), a shortyoutu.belink, a Shorts link, or just the 11-character video code all work. - Paste it into the box at the top of this page and press Download MP3. The video thumbnail appears so you can check you picked the right track before the audio is extracted.
- Save the MP3. The file is encoded at 192 kbps and the download starts on its own. If your browser blocks automatic downloads, use the link shown in the status message.
What you get with every conversion
- 192 kbps MP3. Audio is taken from the best stream YouTube offers for that video and encoded at a constant 192 kbps — the sweet spot between file size and sound quality for music.
- Cover art included. The video thumbnail is embedded in the MP3, so the track shows artwork in iTunes, Apple Music, Windows Media Player, VLC, your car stereo and your phone.
- Nothing is stored. No content is kept on our servers — the converter hands you the file and moves on.
- No registration and no ads. There is no sign-up wall, no email harvesting and no pop-ups. The site is kept ad-free by voluntary Ko-fi donations.
- Works on every device. Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, iPhone and iPad — anything with a modern browser.

Frequently asked questions
Is yotomp3.com free to use?
Yes. The converter is free and ad-free, and no account or sign-up is required. Each visitor can make up to 10 conversions per day. If you need more, support the site on Ko-fi — once you reach the daily limit the site shows you exactly how to claim unlimited access.
What audio quality do the MP3 files have?
Every file is encoded as a 192 kbps MP3 from the best audio stream YouTube provides for that video. The video thumbnail is embedded as cover art, so the track shows artwork in your music player.
Do I need to install software or a browser extension?
No. Everything runs in your browser, and the conversion itself happens on our server. There is no app to download, no extension to add and no desktop converter to keep updated.
Which YouTube links are supported?
Full watch URLs, youtu.be short links, YouTube Shorts links, youtube-nocookie.com
links, and the bare 11-character video code. Links from music.youtube.com are not supported — open
the same track on regular YouTube instead.
Is there a limit on video length?
Yes, 23 minutes. Longer videos are rejected so that a single conversion cannot tie up the server for everyone else.
Can I convert a whole YouTube playlist at once?
No. Playlist downloading is deliberately switched off, so one conversion produces one MP3. If you paste a playlist link, only the single video it points to is converted.
Do you store the videos or MP3 files I convert?
No. We do not keep a copy of your audio, and no content is stored on our servers.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Any modern mobile browser works. On Android the MP3 lands in your Downloads folder; on iPhone and iPad, Safari saves it into the Files app, from where you can move it into your music library.
Why did my conversion fail?
The usual causes are a video longer than 23 minutes, a private, deleted or region-blocked video, a mistyped video
code, a music.youtube.com link, or having already used your 10 free daily conversions. The status
message under the form tells you which one applies.
Is converting YouTube videos to MP3 legal?
It depends on the content and on where you live. See copyright and fair use below.
Copyright, fair use and privacy
Converting YouTube videos should only be done for content you have permission to use, content in the public domain, or use that falls under fair use or fair dealing in your country. That typically covers your own uploads, Creative Commons material, and personal archiving where local law allows it. It does not cover redistributing commercial music. Always respect copyright law and the rights of content creators.
yotomp3.com does not host, index or store any audio or video. It is a conversion tool: the audio is fetched at the moment you request it, converted, handed to you, and discarded. Rights holders who believe a specific use of this tool infringes their rights can reach us through our Ko-fi page.
Privacy
No account is needed, so we never ask for your name, email address or payment details, and no content is stored on our servers. We keep basic request logs — IP address, country and the submitted link — to enforce the daily conversion limit and to spot abuse, plus privacy-friendly, self-hosted analytics for visitor counts.
