Is this YouTube to MP3 converter really free?

Unlike many converters that hide behind paywalls or start free then charge you later, this tool was built for speed, access, and simplicity.

You can learn more in this post on how to download YouTube playlists to MP3 the right way.
How do I convert a YouTube video to MP3?
We prioritize quality in every conversion. Depending on the original YouTube upload, our tool can provide MP3s up to 320kbps. That means you get crisp, clear audio that’s suitable for listening on headphones, speakers, or using clips in content. Keep in mind that some YouTube videos are already compressed, so the quality depends on the source. But our engine makes sure you’re always getting the best possible audio from the video file. If you're looking for an offline version with even more control over bitrate, check out our desktop MP3 converter.
Can I use this converter on my phone or tablet?
Yes, this tool works seamlessly on all modern mobile browsers. Whether you're using iOS, Android, or any mobile browser like Safari or Chrome, you can paste the video link and download your MP3 file in seconds. You don’t need to install anything or grant special permissions. This makes it ideal for creators, students, or anyone who wants to grab audio on the go.

Is converting YouTube to MP3 legal?
It depends on your location and how you use the converted files. In most countries, converting YouTube to MP3 for personal use falls into a legal gray area. For example, downloading videos with copyrighted music for personal listening is typically tolerated, but redistributing or monetizing those files is not. Some regions enforce copyright laws more strictly than others.

Why do other YouTube to MP3 converters stop working?
There are a few reasons. First, YouTube regularly updates its code and API, which can break the backend of many online tools. Second, some sites get overwhelmed with traffic and shut down. Others get blocked by browsers or antivirus software because they’re loaded with popups or malware. If you’ve tried tools in the past that failed mid-conversion or redirected you to sketchy pages, you’re not alone. We explain the main causes in our blog post on why YouTube to MP3 tools stop working.
Is this tool safe to use on my device?
Yes, this tool is designed to be clean and secure. It runs in your browser, doesn’t install anything on your device, and doesn’t trigger antivirus warnings. You won’t find any fake buttons, forced software bundles, or suspicious redirects here. We built it to be safe enough for anyone to use, including students and professionals who need audio for projects.
Can I convert YouTube playlists or multiple videos at once?
The online version of this tool is built for single video downloads — quick, clean, and simple. If you're trying to convert an entire playlist or download multiple videos back to back, that’s where our desktop version shines. It supports batch downloads, faster processing, and even lets you queue up entire playlists for MP3 conversion. Ideal for podcast editors, researchers, or music collectors.
