Converting a YouTube video to MP3 is the easiest way to keep only the audio — music, podcasts, talks, or interviews you want to listen to without the picture and without an internet connection. With PullVid you do it from the browser, nothing to install, and with no conversion limits.
MP3 is the most universal audio format: it plays on any phone, computer, car stereo, or smart speaker. That makes it the best option when you want to take a song or an episode somewhere without a connection.
How to convert YouTube to MP3 on every device
On PC (Windows)
Copy the video URL from your browser, paste it above, and click Download MP3. The file appears in your Downloads folder, ready to play in Windows Media Player or any other player.
On Mac
Works the same in Safari or Chrome: paste the link and download. The MP3 is compatible with the Music app on macOS, so you can add it to your library with a double-click.
On Android
Paste the video or YouTube Music link and download the MP3 directly to your phone. No storage-hungry app needed, no special permissions required.
On iPhone
On iOS, download the MP3 from Safari — the file lands in the Files app, from where you can move it to your music player or favorite audio app.
What audio quality do you get?
We extract audio at the highest quality available in the original video. The result depends on how the content was uploaded to YouTube; we offer high-quality MP3 options for the vast majority of videos. If you prefer to keep the audio without re-encoding, use the Audio Only (M4A) option.
Is it safe and legal to convert to MP3?
PullVid installs nothing on your device and does not store your files. Converting audio for personal use is common practice; redistributing copyrighted music without permission is not allowed. Always respect the author's rights and, where one exists, the music licence.
What to use the MP3 for
- Listen to music and podcasts offline without using data.
- Save lectures or classes to review in the car or on a walk.
- Build your own ad-free audio library.
Need the full video instead of just the audio? Use the YouTube MP4 downloader or the general YouTube downloader.

Can I convert a long video or a full podcast to MP3?+
Yes, there is no duration limit. You can convert multi-hour conferences, interviews, or complete podcasts into a single MP3 file.
Does the MP3 include song metadata?+
We generate a standard MP3 that plays in any app. Title or artist info may not be embedded; if you need it, you can add it with your music player or tag editor.
Can I choose the MP3 bitrate (128, 192 or 320 kbps)?+
We extract the MP3 at the highest quality the source allows, up to 320 kbps. If you need a lighter file at 128 or 192 kbps to save space, you can re-compress it in your audio player. The source never exceeds YouTube's original audio quality.
Which sounds better, the MP3 or the 'audio only' M4A?+
The 'audio only' M4A keeps YouTube's original audio without re-compressing, so it sounds slightly better at the same size. MP3 is more compatible with older cars and speakers. For maximum fidelity choose M4A; for maximum compatibility, MP3.
