Secured by NortonYTMP3 2.0 / FREE ONLINE YOUTUBE CONVERTER
YTMP3 2.0 is a free online YouTube to MP3 converter and MP4 downloader. Paste a YouTube link, press MP3 for the audio or MP4 for the video, and the file is saved straight to your device. There is no account to create, no app or extension to install, and no ads between you and the download — a YouTube to MP3 downloader that does one job and gets out of the way.
01 / THREE STEPS
Converting a YouTube video to MP3 takes about as long as copying the link. The same three steps give you an MP4 — only the button changes.
Open the video on YouTube and choose Share → Copy link, or copy the address from your browser's address bar. Standard watch links, short youtu.be links, Shorts and YouTube Music links all work.
Paste the link into the box at the top of this page. Press MP3 to keep only the audio, or MP4 to keep the video. Hitting Enter starts an MP3 conversion straight away.
The status line shows the conversion moving from checking to extracting to converting, and the video title appears as soon as it is known. When it finishes, the download starts automatically in your browser.
02 / AUDIO OR VIDEO
Most YouTube converters stop at audio. YTMP3 2.0 downloads YouTube videos as MP4 too, from the same link and the same input box, with no ads, no sign-up and no software to install. Whether you call it a YouTube MP4 converter or a YT to MP4 downloader, the job is the same: start with what you want to keep, not with the biggest number.
An MP3 holds only the audio track, so it is small, plays on every phone, laptop, car stereo and music app, and is the right choice for music you are allowed to keep, podcasts, interviews and lectures where the spoken word is what matters.
Output: MP3 audio up to 320 kbps, depending on the source.
What 320 kbps actually meansAn MP4 keeps video and audio together in a container that plays natively on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS and most TVs. Use it for tutorials, presentations, demos and performances where the visuals carry the meaning.
Output: MP4 video up to 1080p, when the source offers it.
Download a YouTube video as MP4Both formats come from the same link, so you can download the MP3 and the MP4 of one video without pasting it twice. Quality is bounded by the original upload: a 480p video will not become 1080p, and a thin audio track will not become studio-grade at 320 kbps.
03 / QUALITY, EXPLAINED
People who search for "YouTube to MP3 320" want the highest MP3 quality there is. Bitrate is how much audio data is stored per second. 320 kbps is the highest MP3 setting: it keeps the most detail and produces the largest file. 128 kbps is roughly half the size and still fine for casual listening on earbuds, and speech such as podcasts and audiobooks stays clear at lower rates.
MP3 is a lossy format. Converting a YouTube video to MP3 at 320 kbps preserves what is in the source; it cannot add detail that was never uploaded. For music you care about, pick the best-quality upload you can find — that matters more than the bitrate label.
Audio codecs and bitrates explained by MDN| Bitrate | File size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 128 kbps | 3.8 MB | Casual listening, small files |
| 192 kbps | 5.8 MB | Everyday music on earbuds |
| 256 kbps | 7.7 MB | Good headphones |
| 320 kbps | 9.6 MB | Music you care about |
Calculated as bitrate × 240 seconds ÷ 8, in decimal megabytes. ID3 tags and variable bitrate change the real figure slightly. The table is a format reference; the bitrate you receive depends on the source video's audio.
04 / WHY YTMP3 2.0
Plenty of YouTube to MP3 sites hide the real button under fake ones. YTMP3 2.0 is built the other way round: one input, two buttons, one genuine download.
Every conversion is free. There is no account, no email address and no subscription — you never enter anything except a YouTube link.
No advertising, no redirect chains and no countdown timers. The MP3 and MP4 buttons on this page are the only buttons.
The converter runs in the browser you already have. No desktop app, no phone app, no browser extension to keep updated.
The conversion runs on our conversion service, not on your device. A typical song is ready in seconds, and the file goes straight to your browser's download list.
No account means no history tied to you. We set no tracking cookies and keep only anonymous, aggregated technical metrics — see the privacy policy.
Audio and video downloads live in the same box. Paste once, then take the MP3, the MP4, or both.
05 / SUPPORTED LINKS
Any address that points to a single video: standard youtube.com/watch?v=… links, short youtu.be share links, YouTube Shorts, YouTube Music tracks on music.youtube.com, mobile m.youtube.com links and embed links. The converter reads the 11-character video ID and ignores extras such as timestamps and playlist tags — so it doubles as a YouTube Music downloader for tracks you are allowed to keep.
Playlist, channel and search-page addresses are not video addresses — open the video you want and copy its own link instead. Private and members-only videos cannot be fetched, region-locked or age-restricted uploads may fail as well, and a live stream can only be converted once it has ended and the recording is published.
YouTube's guide to sharing a video link06 / ANY DEVICE
Converting YouTube to MP3 on iPhone or Android works exactly like it does on a laptop. Because YTMP3 2.0 is a website rather than an app, it behaves the same in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge. The only difference between devices is where the browser puts the finished file.
Convert in Safari, then tap the Downloads arrow next to the address bar. Files are also listed in the Files app under Downloads, from where you can play the MP3 or MP4 or hand it to another app.
Find downloads on iPhoneIn Chrome, open the menu and choose Downloads, or look in the Files app's Downloads folder. MP3s show up in most music players automatically once the transfer is complete.
Chrome's download guideThe file lands in your browser's Downloads folder unless you chose a different location. Use the browser's download list and "Show in folder" to jump straight to it.
Help with a missing download07 / WHAT PEOPLE CONVERT
A YouTube to MP3 converter is really an offline button for content that only lives on YouTube.
Creators pull the audio from their own videos to reuse in podcasts, reels and drafts without digging out the original project — a 20-minute vlog becomes a 320 kbps MP3 of about 48 MB, ready to trim in any editor.
Long conversations published only on YouTube become MP3s for the commute, where a screen is not needed and data is limited. A two-hour interview is a single file that plays in any podcast app or car stereo.
Students save permitted course recordings as MP3 for revision, or as MP4 when the slides and demonstrations matter — a coding walkthrough or a whiteboard derivation is worth keeping at 1080p, a spoken lecture is not.
Tracks released under open licences or with the creator's permission travel to offline players, old MP3 devices and flights without Wi-Fi. Check the video description: creators who allow downloads usually say so there.
08 / TROUBLESHOOTING
Most failed conversions come down to the link or the network. Work through the step where the problem shows up.
Back to the converterCopy the full address again and remove any surrounding quotes or punctuation. Open it on YouTube to confirm it plays a single video rather than a playlist, channel or search page.
Re-copy the link from the video you want. When several uploads share a title, the address — not the title — decides which one is converted.
Download links are valid for a short time only. Wait until the progress bar fills and the status line says the file is ready; if nothing happens after that, paste the link again and retry. Very long videos take proportionally longer.
Check the browser's download list and your free storage. On mobile, keep the tab in the foreground until the download begins; some browsers pause background transfers.
A strict content or script blocker can stop the request to our conversion service. Allow this site, reload, and try again. A red "Conversion failed — Code: stage.code" message means the service replied with an error at that stage (1 = authorising, 2 = initialising, 3 = converting, 4 = progress); retrying usually clears it. Private and members-only videos cannot be converted, and region-locked or age-restricted uploads may fail as well.
09 / SAFETY & COPYRIGHT
Yes — YTMP3 2.0 is safe to use: it never asks you to install software, create an account or enter personal details, which removes the usual ways converter sites cause harm, and every download is a plain MP3 or MP4 file delivered over HTTPS. If a page ever asks you to install a "codec", "player" or extension to get your file, you are not on YTMP3 2.0.
Converting a YouTube video is fine when you own the content, hold a licence, or the creator permits downloads (Creative Commons releases, for example). Downloading copyrighted music or videos without permission may breach copyright law and YouTube's Terms of Service. Rights holders can request removal through our DMCA page; see also the terms of use.

Yes. Paste the same link and press MP4 instead. The video is saved with its audio at up to 1080p, depending on what the original upload offers.
The MP3 is encoded at the best bitrate the source audio supports, up to 320 kbps. MP3 is lossy at every bitrate, including 320 kbps; see the bitrate and file-size guide.
Yes — in Safari, Chrome and any other mobile browser, with no app to install. The device guide shows where each system puts the finished file.
No. Everything happens in the browser. If any site asks you to install something to "unlock" a download, close it.

No. YTMP3 2.0 converts one video per link. Open each video in the playlist and paste its link separately.
A typical three- to five-minute song is ready in a few seconds. Longer recordings take longer because there is more audio or video to process; the status line shows where the conversion is.
It depends on the content: your own videos, licensed material and downloads the creator permits are fine; copying copyrighted music without permission is not. See safety and copyright.
Links are used only to process your request, and files go straight to your browser rather than into a library on this site. We keep anonymous, aggregated metrics such as which format was chosen and whether a conversion succeeded.
