Good to know before you convert
Shorts and YouTube Music too
Links from YouTube Shorts and YouTube Music turn into MP3 files the same way as normal video links. Short youtu.be links work too.
One video per link
When a link belongs to a playlist, only the video in the link is converted, not the whole list. To save more tracks, paste their links one after another.
Your file's name
The MP3 is named after the video title, so it is easy to find in your music app or your Downloads folder. You can rename it later like any other file.
What you can save as MP3
MP3 is the easiest format for listening on the go: it plays in almost every music app, car stereo and media player. People use Y2Mate to keep audio such as:
- Lessons, lectures and language practice
- Podcasts, interviews and talks
- Your own uploads and recordings
- Music and audio you have permission to save
- Sounds for offline listening on a trip or a flight
YouTube to MP3 FAQ
How do I convert a YouTube video to MP3?
Copy the video link, paste it into the box on this page and wait a moment for the details. The MP3 tab opens by itself. Tap 320 kbps or another bitrate, then tap Download when the MP3 is ready.
Which MP3 bitrate should I choose?
If you are not sure, take 320 kbps, the first row. 256 and 128 kbps are listed too if you prefer a smaller file. The size beside a bitrate is the size of the file you will get.
Can I convert YouTube Shorts and music links?
Yes. Paste a link to a Short, a normal video or a YouTube Music track and the MP3 tab works the same way. Only public videos can be converted.
How fast is it?
Very fast. Reading a video usually takes a second or two, and most MP3 files are ready a few seconds after you tap a bitrate. Only very long recordings take a little longer.
Where is the MP3 saved on my phone?
On Android the file goes to the Downloads folder, which you can open in the Files app. On iPhone, Safari saves it in the Files app under Downloads. Your music app may list it as well.
Is there a length or size limit?
Each file can be up to 2 GB, which is far more than even a long MP3 needs. Long videos make bigger files, and for most videos the size is shown beside each bitrate before you download.
