Turn YouTube videos into MP3 files

Many YouTube videos are really about the sound: songs, live sets, podcasts, talks and lessons. The MP4Juice YouTube to MP3 converter keeps only the audio and gives you a small MP3 file you can play anywhere, even with the screen off and no internet.

Paste the link, keep the suggested 320 kbps or pick 256, 192 or 128 kbps, and save. There is no app to install and no account to create. It works the same way in a phone browser and on a computer.

YouTube to MP3: questions

How do I convert a YouTube video to MP3?

Copy the video link and paste it into the box at the top of this page. When the options appear, keep MP3 320 kbps or choose 256, 192 or 128 kbps. Tap it, and the audio opens in a new tab, ready to save to your device.

Can I convert long videos like mixes or podcasts?

Yes. Hour-long mixes, podcasts and recorded talks work fine. Audio files are much smaller than video, so even very long recordings are quick to save and don't take much space on your phone.

Where do MP3 files go on my phone?

On Android, press and hold an MP3 option and choose Download link; the file goes to your Downloads folder. On iPhone and iPad, choose Download Linked File in Safari, and you will find it in the Files app under Downloads.

Can I get the sound from a Short or a music video?

Yes. Any public YouTube link works, including Shorts, music videos, lyric videos and live recordings. Paste the link, stay on the MP3 tab and save the audio the same way as for any other video.

Do I need an app?

No. MP4Juice works in the browser you already have, on Android phones, iPhones, tablets and computers. There is nothing to download except the MP3 file itself, and no account to create.

Is it legal to convert YouTube to MP3?

Use MP4Juice for personal use only. Save audio only when you own it, when the creator allows it or when the content is free to use. Please respect copyright and YouTube's terms of service.
