A YouTube downloader is a service that lets you fetch the video and/or audio from YouTube and save it to your device. With our tool, you can choose from common formats such as MP3 for audio or MP4 for video, as well as other formats when available. The process is designed to be simple, fast, and safe, with no registration or account required.
We support a range of formats to fit your needs, including popular choices for audio and video. Here are the most common options and what you can expect from each format.
MP3: The most widely compatible audio format. Typical bitrate options are 64 kbps, 128 kbps, 192 kbps, 256 kbps, and 320 kbps. MP3 is ideal for offline listening on almost any device, from phones to car stereos.
M4A / AAC: A high-efficiency audio option with good quality at lower bitrates. Useful when you want smaller file sizes while maintaining decent fidelity.
WAV (lossless): If available, provides lossless audio at a much larger file size. Use this option when maximum quality matters and storage is not a concern.
MP4: The most universal video format with broad support on desktop and mobile devices. Common codecs include H.264 (AVC) with AAC audio. Bitrates and resolutions range from 360p to 4K, depending on the source and user choice.
WEBM: An efficient video format often used for online streaming. Great for web-friendly playback and smaller file sizes at similar quality.

It works in desktop Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, as well as mobile browsers.

MP3 specifics
MP4 specifics
These specs help you predict file size and playback quality. A typical 4K MP4 video can be hundreds of megabytes depending on length and compression, while a 3-minute MP3 audio file at 192 kbps is around 1.5 MB to 2.5 MB.
MP3 is ideal when you only care about the audio track of a video. This is perfect for creating a personal music collection, listening on the go, or saving a podcast-style excerpt from a video. MP4 is perfect for offline viewing of tutorials, travel vlogs, music videos, and other content where the visuals enhance understanding or enjoyment.
There are many formats available, each with its own trade-offs. Here are quick comparisons to help you decide which path to take.
Before downloading any video or audio from YouTube, consider copyright and terms of service. Our YouTube downloader is intended for personal use with content you own or have permission to download. Downloading copyrighted material without permission may violate YouTube's terms of service and local laws. Always respect rights holders, licenses, and usage restrictions. If in doubt, choose content you are licensed to use or content that is publicly available for offline use.
Here are common questions users have about MP3 downloads from YouTube and how our tool handles them.
For most listeners, 192 kbps provides a good balance of quality and file size. If you're listening in high-quality headphones or car stereo, 256 kbps or 320 kbps yields clearer detail with less compression noise. If you're conserving space, 128 kbps can be acceptable for casual listening.
Yes, when available, the MP3 will include basic metadata such as the track title, artist, and album art. Quality varies by source, but our downloader strives to preserve metadata when it's published by YouTube.
This depends on the content and your rights. We provide the tool for personal use and content you own or have permission to download. Always respect copyright and YouTube's terms of service.
Yes, you can start separate downloads for MP3 and MP4 if you need both audio and video copies from the same source. Each conversion runs quickly and independently without registration.
Choose the highest bitrate available that fits your storage needs. If the video's audio track is of high quality, selecting 256 kbps or 320 kbps will typically preserve more detail.
Resolution options include 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 4K where supported by the source video. Higher resolutions deliver crisper visuals but require more storage.
MP4 with an H.264 video codec and AAC audio is widely supported on most modern devices and players. If your device is older, you can choose a lower resolution to improve compatibility.
