How to use the converter with YouTube?
1 - Different ways to copy the YouTube video or playlist URL
▼
On desktop (Windows / macOS)
- Address bar: open the video, click in the address bar and copy the URL (Ctrl/Cmd + C).
- Share button: below the video, Share then Copy link.
- Right-click: on a thumbnail or a link, Copy link address.
- Playlist: open the playlist then copy the URL containing the list= parameter.
- At a specific time (optional): in Share, tick Start at, or add &t=90s to the URL.
On mobile (Android / iPhone)
- In the YouTube app: Share button then Copy link.
- From the browser: open the video, tap the address bar then Copy.
- For a playlist: open the playlist, then Share then Copy link.
Tip: check that the URL starts with https://www.youtube.com/ or https://youtu.be/.
2 - Paste the URL into the YouTube MP3 converter
▼
Paste your video or playlist link into the field above. MP3 is already selected on this page.
- The paste button reads your clipboard and extracts the URL automatically, even if text surrounds it.
- Make sure MP3 is selected, then click Convert.
- For a podcast, mix or talk, MP3 faithfully preserves the original audio stream.
3 - Convert and download
▼
After starting, a progress bar tracks analysis, download and conversion. At 100%, the file downloads and the View my conversion button appears.
- Quality: MP3 up to 320 kbps, with proper metadata embedded (title, artist, album, cover art).
- Fast: optimized conversion, no software or plugin to install.
- History: your files stay available for 2 hours in your history (30 minutes for files over 500 MB), from any page of the site and even after closing the browser.
- The X button on a card immediately removes the file from our servers.
Troubleshooting (if the download does not start)
- Check that the URL is not truncated (the v= or list= parameter must be present).
- Temporarily disable the pop-up blocker if a button does not respond.
- Try another browser if needed.
The tool is a YouTube MP3 converter for personal use. Only download content you own the rights to or have permission for.
What you need to know
- Conversion to 320 kbps MP3, the format's maximum bitrate, from the best audio stream available on YouTube, with proper metadata embedded automatically: title, artist, album, cover art.
- Shorts are supported like any video: paste the link, the audio is extracted the same way.
- Playlists convert video by video for now: paste each link individually (full playlist conversion is coming soon).
- Private, deleted or age-restricted videos are not accessible: an explicit error message tells you the exact cause.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to convert a YouTube video to MP3?
▼
Converting for personal use is permitted in many countries. Respect copyright and do not redistribute the files.
What audio quality do I get?
▼
SaveThat extracts the best audio stream available on YouTube (often Opus around 160 kbps) and converts it to MP3. MP3 can go up to 320 kbps, but a file can't hold more information than its source, so we show the real source bitrate rather than an inflated number. That's honest quality, not an artificial 320.
Can I convert an entire YouTube playlist to MP3?
▼
Yes. Paste the URL of a playlist and all tracks will be processed and available for download.
Are metadata (title, artist, cover art) included?
▼
Yes. SaveThat automatically retrieves metadata from YouTube and embeds it in the MP3 file.
Are files stored on your servers?
▼
No. Files are automatically deleted after a few hours. No personal data is kept.
