Paste a YouTube link and YTmp3 converts it in seconds — MP4 video up to 4K Ultra HD, or MP3 audio at up to 320kbps. It is free, needs no account and no software, and runs in any browser on phone or desktop.
Video is offered at 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K and 8K. That list is the full menu the converter can request, not a reading of your particular video — so choosing a resolution the creator never uploaded will fail, and stepping down one usually works. Audio comes as MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, WEBM, FLAC or WAV. MP3 bitrate is not fixed: it follows the audio YouTube stores for that video, so it can reach 320kbps but never exceeds what the source held. For the truest copy, pick M4A — the original stream, saved without re-encoding.
YTmp3.space is a free YouTube to MP3 and MP4 converter that works in any browser, with nothing to install. Paste a link and it returns MP3 audio at up to 320kbps, the original M4A stream untouched, or MP4 video from 360p up to 4K Ultra HD — no registration, no software, no ads.
Whether you are a music lover building an offline playlist, a content creator saving reference videos, or simply someone who wants YouTube videos available without internet — YTmp3 is built for you. The interface is plain and works the same on desktop, mobile and tablet.
MP3 downloads come out at up to 320kbps, and M4A gives you the original audio exactly as YouTube stores it, with no second round of compression. Video runs from 360p up to 4K Ultra HD. Every conversion happens over secure HTTPS — fast, private and completely free.
No account needed. No hidden charges. Paste a link and start.
YTmp3 converts YouTube to MP3 for anyone who wants the audio without paying for it. Paste any YouTube link and the audio is extracted and delivered as a downloadable MP3 in seconds — up to 320kbps, depending on what the original upload contains.
Download three different videos as MP3 and you may see 128kbps on one, 192kbps on another and 320kbps on a third. That is not a fault, and it is worth understanding — because almost every other converter hides it behind a flat "320kbps" badge.
The reason is that YouTube does not store one audio file per video. It stores several, and which ones exist depends entirely on the upload:
A converter can only work from what is actually there. Feed it a 256kbps source and a 320kbps MP3 is a fair result. Feed it a 128kbps source and the encoder can still write a 320kbps file — but it will only be a bigger container around the same audio. The detail YouTube discarded at upload cannot be put back by any tool, at any bitrate, ever.
So when a site promises "320kbps guaranteed on every video", it is promising something YouTube itself does not provide. What it actually does is pad every file up to 320kbps so the number in your file properties looks right. You get a file two and a half times larger and not one extra second of audio detail.
Choose MP3 when compatibility matters — car stereos, older MP3 players, DJ software, anything with a USB port. MP3 plays on literally everything, and at up to 320kbps it is more than enough for listening on phone speakers, earbuds or in the car.
Choose M4A when you want the best audio the video actually has. M4A is the original stream copied straight out of YouTube with no re-encoding at all. It skips the conversion step entirely, so nothing is lost a second time. The bitrate number will often look smaller than a 320kbps MP3 — and the file will still sound the same or better, because it has not been through a lossy encoder twice.
Choose FLAC or WAV only if you are feeding the file into editing software. They are lossless containers, but lossless around a lossy source adds size, not quality.
Neither option can exceed the quality of the original upload — no converter can add detail that was never recorded. We would rather tell you that than sell you a number.
YTmp3 gives you full control over video quality when downloading YouTube content as MP4. Whether you need a compact 360p file for mobile or a full 4K video for your home screen, our platform delivers every resolution instantly.
Available MP4 resolution options:
Worth being straight about how that list works: it is the full menu this converter can request, not a reading of what your particular video contains. So 8K appears in the list next to a video that was uploaded in 720p. Picking a resolution the upload never had will fail, because the video does not exist at that size — and no tool on the internet can hand you a real 1080p version of a 720p upload. If a resolution fails, step down one.
1080p and 4K are free here, with no premium tier holding them back. For file sizes, why 1080p takes a few seconds longer, and what to do when 1080p is missing, see our full guide to downloading YouTube videos in 1080p.
YTmp3 works from any browser and any device. There is nothing to install, no app to download and no settings to configure — you open the page, paste a link and the file comes back. The conversion itself happens on a server, not on your device, which is why an old phone converts a 4K video just as fast as a new laptop does.
YTmp3 works seamlessly on:
Our responsive design automatically adapts to any screen size — giving you a smooth, consistent experience whether you are on a 4-inch phone screen or a 32-inch monitor.
Shorts work exactly like ordinary videos here: copy the Shorts URL, paste it, pick MP4, download. Most Shorts are 1080p vertical, and that is what comes back.
One clarification, because other sites make a feature of it: YouTube Shorts do not carry a watermark in the first place. TikTok burns a logo into its videos; YouTube does not. So there is nothing to remove, and a tool advertising watermark-free Shorts is selling you work that nobody has to do.
Y2Mate, yt1s, ytmp3 and this site all do the same job and all pull from the same YouTube streams, so claims about one being faster than another are mostly noise. What can be stated plainly is what this site does and does not do:
If playlist downloads are what you need, another tool is the better choice and there is no point pretending otherwise.
Open YouTube and find the video or Short you want to download. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar, or tap the Share button inside the YouTube app and copy the link. A playlist URL will not work — the converter takes one video at a time.
Go to YTmp3.space and paste the YouTube URL into the input box. Choose your preferred output format and quality:
Select MP3 if you only need the audio track. Choose MP4 if you want the full video with visuals.
Click the Download button after selecting your format. YTmp3 will process your request in seconds. Once ready, the file saves directly to your device with no redirects and no misleading pop-ups.
One conversion runs at a time. Starting a second replaces the first, so let a download finish before pasting the next link.
Video downloads are delivered as MP4 — the one container that plays on every phone, TV, browser and editing program without a codec pack. This is the full list, and there is nothing on it that the converter cannot actually produce.
Audio formats available on YTmp3:
Video formats available on YTmp3:
Above 720p, YouTube stores the picture and the sound as two separate files, and they have to be joined before the video is playable. That joining is done by the conversion service your link is passed to — it is not performed on this site — which is why a 4K conversion takes a few seconds longer than a 360p one. It is also the step that fails when any tool hands you a silent 1080p file. If that happens, try the conversion again or step down to 720p, where the audio is already inside the single file.
Here is the accurate version, including the parts that are not entirely in our hands.
None of that is unusual for a converter. It is simply true, and it seemed better said than left out.
YTmp3 gives you immediate access to every feature without creating an account. There is no download counter and no daily cap applied here — throughput depends on the conversion service, not on a quota we set.
With no sign-up there is no profile to fill, no email to verify and no history tied to you on this site.
YTmp3 eliminates every unnecessary step between you and your download. No account creation, no email verification, no login screen — just paste, select, and download.
Conversion happens on a server rather than on your device, which is why an old phone and a new laptop take about the same time on the same video.
Speed depends on the conversion service and on how busy it is, so we would rather not quote a number we cannot hold to.
YTmp3's interface is fully responsive and built for today's mobile-first world. Our YouTube downloader automatically adapts to any screen size without sacrificing usability, speed, or access to any features.
Every element of YTmp3 is designed for smooth touch-screen interaction on mobile devices:
YTmp3's mobile experience is identical to desktop — full features, full quality, full speed — no compromise.
YTmp3 provides a complete range of resolution and quality options so you can always choose the right setting for your device, storage, and viewing preferences.
Higher resolutions deliver better image quality but produce larger files. Use this guide to pick the best option:
For music, M4A is the best choice — it is the original stream with no re-encoding, so nothing is lost twice. MP3 at up to 320kbps is the right pick when compatibility matters more, since it plays on anything with a speaker. For podcasts, lectures and voice recordings either is fine; on speech the difference is inaudible, and the smaller file is the better file.
One thing worth repeating: a higher bitrate number does not mean better sound if the source was already compressed. Judge the file by how it sounds, not by what the properties panel says.
As your YTmp3 download library grows, staying organized saves time and keeps your device running efficiently.
Review your downloads regularly and delete content you no longer need. Use cloud storage for videos you want to keep but rarely watch. Compress large video files to save space without major quality loss.
