The YTMP4 YouTube to MP3 converter saves the audio of any public YouTube video. Paste the link above, open the Audio tab and choose MP3 (192 kbps, plays on everything) or M4A, YouTube’s original sound track without any re-encoding. It’s ideal for songs, naats, nasheeds, lectures, audiobooks and podcasts you want to hear offline.
MP3 or M4A: which one?
| Format | Quality | Size (4 minutes) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP3 192 kbps | Very good | about 6 MB | Any phone, car stereo, old MP3 players |
| M4A (AAC, original) | Original YouTube audio | about 4 MB | iPhone, Android, best quality per MB |
YouTube streams most music at about 128 kbps AAC. Converting that to a “320 kbps MP3” only makes the file bigger; it can’t add detail that isn’t there. That’s why YTMP4 offers an honest 192 kbps MP3 and the untouched original, instead of fake bitrate labels.
How to convert YouTube to MP3
- In YouTube tap Share › Copy link under the video.
- Paste the link into the YTMP4 box and press Convert.
- Switch to the Audio tab.
- Press Download next to MP3 or M4A.
On iPhone, audio files open in Files › Downloads and keep playing with the screen locked. On Android they appear in your music player’s Download folder.
Good uses for YouTube to MP3
- Music and naats to listen to offline on trips.
- Lectures and study videos where you only need the voice.
- Podcasts that are published on YouTube as video.
- Your own uploads, when you need the soundtrack for editing.
Works with every YouTube link
Normal links, youtu.be share links, Shorts, mobile links and videos inside playlists all work. To keep the video too, use the YouTube to MP4 converter on the same link.
