How to convert a YouTube video to MP3
- Copy the link. In the YouTube app tap Share, then Copy link. On a computer, copy the address bar.
- Paste it above. Conversion starts on its own. MP3 at 192 kbps is the default; pick 128 or 320 first if you want.
- Tap Download. The file saves with the song’s title, artist and cover art already written into it.
MP3 or M4A?
YouTube stores its audio as AAC. M4A is that same audio, copied as it is: nothing is re-encoded, so nothing is lost, and it is usually the faster of the two. MP3 is a new encode of that audio, made for the players and cars that only understand MP3.
| Format | What happens to the sound | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| M4A | Copied unchanged | You listen on a phone, a Mac or in a music app |
| MP3 | Re-encoded at the bitrate you choose | The device or app only plays MP3 |
Which MP3 bitrate should I choose?
192 kbps is the default because it keeps everything the source has. YouTube’s own audio tops out around 128–160 kbps, so 320 kbps cannot add detail that was never there; it makes a bigger file that some DJ software and car stereos prefer. 128 kbps is the smallest file and fine for speech, podcasts and lectures.
Questions
Is ezmp3 free?
Yes. There are no ads, no pop-ups, no account and no paid tier.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in the browser. On iPhone, Safari saves the file to Files › Downloads. On Android, it goes to your Downloads folder.
Will the file show the song name and cover?
Yes. ezmp3 writes the video’s title, the channel as artist, and the thumbnail as cover art into every file.
What is the longest video I can convert?
90 minutes. Live streams and playlists can’t be converted; paste one video at a time.
How long is my file kept?
Six hours. After that it is deleted from our server and the download link stops working.
Is it legal to convert YouTube videos?
It depends on the video and where you live. Convert only what you have the right to keep: your own uploads, music under a free licence, or content the owner allows you to download.
