ytmp3.pro — YouTube to MP3 & MP4 Converter
YTMP3 - YouTube to MP3
The quickest way to save YouTube audio and video
ytmp3.pro turns any YouTube link into a clean audio or video file in three clicks. Paste the URL, pick a format, and get a ready-to-play download. There is no installer, no browser extension, and no account to create. The tool runs entirely through a secure web backend and wipes temporary files automatically.
Choose MP3 from 128 kbps up to 320 kbps, or lossless WAV when you need the cleanest possible capture. For video, MP4 downloads go from 360p up to 2160p (4K) when the source allows. The same flow works on desktop and on mobile, no app required.
How it works
- Copy the link. Grab any YouTube URL from the share sheet or your browser's address bar. Regular videos, Shorts, and public playlists are all supported.
- Paste & choose a format. Drop the link into the box above. Pick MP3 for audio, MP4 for the full clip, or pro formats like WAV, OGG, and Opus.
- Download. Hit Convert. Most files are ready in under a minute. Click the download button to save to your device.

Frequently asked questions
Is ytmp3.pro really free?
Yes, completely free. No hidden charges, no trial limits, no email gates, no forced sign-ups. The converter runs on donations and optional Supporter upgrades for people who want priority processing — everyone else gets the same full feature set at no cost.
What is the highest MP3 quality available?
320 kbps constant bitrate, re-encoded through FFmpeg's libmp3lame with joint stereo. That's the top of what the MP3 codec supports. For audio work that needs zero compression artifacts, switch to WAV on the dedicated WAV converter page for a lossless PCM file.
Can I download YouTube videos in 4K?
Yes — whenever the uploader published at 2160p or higher, the MP4 converter will fetch the full-resolution track and mux it with the best audio. If the source only offers 1080p, we fall back to that automatically instead of upscaling.
Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Shorts behave exactly like regular videos — paste the Shorts URL, pick MP3 or MP4, convert. The vertical 9:16 aspect ratio is preserved. See the dedicated Shorts downloader page for more detail.
Can I convert an entire playlist at once?
Yes. Paste any public playlist URL (or one containing a
?list=parameter) and every video in that playlist is queued individually. Each finishes as its own file, named with the original video title. See the playlist downloader page.What about age-restricted videos?
Age-restricted public videos work in most cases. Private videos, members-only content, and anything behind a login prompt cannot be converted, because our server cannot authenticate on your behalf.
Is there a maximum video length?
Three hours by default — long enough for lectures, full podcast episodes, concert recordings, and live-stream replays. Contact us through the contact page if you need longer jobs for a specific use case and we can extend the limit per-user.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs inside the browser tab — no app, no extension, no desktop client. If you want a faster launch experience, the install guide shows how to pin the converter to your home screen on iOS, Android, and desktop so it opens like a native app.
Final Thoughts
A good YouTube converter should stay out of your way. No ads, no redirects, no bait-and-switch quality labels, no hidden charges — just a URL field, a format picker, and a download button. That's what ytmp3.pro is built to be, and it's why we keep the interface intentionally boring.
If you've been burned by converter sites that load slowly, bury the download link, or downgrade your files quietly, give this one a try. Paste a link at the top of the page and see how fast and clean the whole flow can be.
