How do I convert a YouTube video to MP3?
Copy the video link, paste it into the box on this page and keep the MP3 tab open. Tap a tile, then tap Download when your file is ready.
Which MP3 qualities can I choose?
Every video offers 320, 256 and 128 kbps. 320 kbps gives the fullest sound and 128 kbps the smallest file.
