Which audio format should you pick?

MP3 plays on every device and is the safe default; ClipKoala always encodes it at 320kbps, the highest bitrate the format supports. M4A (AAC) sounds about the same at smaller file sizes and is the native format for Apple devices. WAV is uncompressed and large, useful when you plan to edit the audio. FLAC is lossless compression: the exact original audio at roughly half the size of WAV, ideal for archiving music.

Whichever you choose, the conversion runs on our servers and streams to your browser as soon as it is ready. Nothing is installed on your device.

Podcasts, lectures, mixes, and whole playlists

Long recordings convert fine; the progress bar keeps you posted and a notification fires if you switch tabs. To convert many videos, paste a playlist link and choose the audio format on each item, or use Save all for the best available option.

FAQ

YouTube to MP3 questions

What bitrate are the MP3 files?

320kbps, the maximum MP3 supports. There is nothing to configure; every MP3 conversion runs at top quality.

Is YouTube to MP3 conversion free?

Yes. There is no account, no limit on the number of conversions, and no length restriction beyond the time a very long video takes to process.

Is it legal to convert YouTube videos to MP3?

Converting your own uploads, Creative Commons content, or audio you have permission to use is fine. Downloading copyrighted music you do not have rights to may break the law and YouTube's terms. Respect creators' rights.

Why is FLAC better than MP3 for archiving?

FLAC keeps every bit of the original audio while MP3 discards some detail to shrink the file. If you want the best possible copy for a music library, choose FLAC; if you want compatibility and small size, choose MP3.
