How to Convert YouTube to MP3
Convert to MP3
Paste the link into AIYTMP3 and select Convert to MP3. Keep the page open while the audio is processed.
Download your MP3
When the file is ready, select Download MP3. Open the saved file in your preferred audio player to listen offline.
What Is YTMP3?
YTMP3 and YT to MP3 are shorthand for converting the sound from a YouTube video into a standalone audio file. AIYTMP3 is a free online converter that takes the audio from a supported YouTube video and returns an MP3 file. MP3 is an audio-only format you can save to your phone or computer and open with a compatible media player. The converter processes one link at a time.
MP3 is useful when you only need the audio, such as a voice recording, an excerpt published as its own video, or the soundtrack from a clip you have permission to process.
Supported YouTube Links
Use a standard watch link such as youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID, a short share link such as youtu.be/VIDEO_ID, or a Shorts link such as youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID. Mobile YouTube and YouTube Music watch links also work when they identify an individual video. In the YouTube app, choose Share and then Copy link. On a desktop browser, you can also copy the address from the address bar.
Use a direct video link for a video from a playlist. A channel page, search result, playlist URL without a video ID, or live stream falls outside the supported conversion workflow.
Paste the complete URL, including https://. If the share message includes a title or other text, remove it before submitting. If the Paste button cannot access your clipboard, tap the link field and use your keyboard’s paste option.
Share links with timestamps or playlist details
YouTube sometimes adds extra information to the link you copy. A watch link can include a playlist ID, a position in the playlist, or a timestamp. AIYTMP3 uses the video ID from the link, so those extra parameters do not change which video is processed. A timestamp opens YouTube at a particular moment. The converter processes the full video’s audio.
If a Shorts link is embedded in a message or another webpage, open the Short in YouTube and copy its share link there. Both the Shorts address and the short share link work when they point directly to that video. A link to a channel’s Shorts tab identifies a collection, so choose the specific clip first.
How to Download and Find Your MP3
iPhone or iPad. Open AIYTMP3 in Safari, paste the copied YouTube link, and start the conversion. When Download MP3 appears, tap it and look in Safari’s Downloads list. To open the file later, use the Files app and check the Downloads folder in your configured download location.
Android. Open AIYTMP3 in your browser and convert the link. Tap Download MP3, then check the browser’s Downloads menu or open Downloads in your file manager. From there, open the file with your preferred audio player.
Desktop. Select Download MP3 and check your browser’s Downloads list to find the saved file. The location depends on your browser settings.
The converter uses the filename audio.mp3. If you save several clips, rename each file so you can identify it later. Before going offline, open the saved file to confirm that the transfer finished and the audio plays.
On a phone, saving the file and adding it to a music library are separate steps. You can play the MP3 directly from your file manager, or use your player’s import option if it has one. If you want the file on another device, transfer the saved MP3 itself. Sharing the original YouTube link sends the video address and does not include the converted audio.
Conversion Limits and Audio Quality
The converter accepts one video at a time and outputs a 192 kbps MP3. The source download is limited to 20 MB. Longer videos can take more time to fetch and convert. The source audio determines how much detail you hear, even when the MP3 is encoded at a higher bitrate.
If Your Conversion Fails
The link is rejected. Open the video and copy the share link again. Check that the address identifies one video and that you pasted the complete URL.
Conversion doesn’t complete. Use the link already in the box to try again, or paste a different video link.
The file is ready but you cannot find it. Check whether the transfer completed in your device’s download location. If it was interrupted and the download button is still visible, select it again.
The file downloads but will not play. Check that the transfer finished and that the saved file has an .mp3 extension. Try opening it with another compatible player. If the file is incomplete, download it again.
