FAQ
Good to know before you download.
The fine print, in normal language.
Is this YouTube to MP3 converter free?
Yes. Paste a public link, switch the format to MP3 if it is not already selected, and download. No account or payment.
What bitrate do I get?
Simple Video Downloader extracts the best audio stream YouTube provides and encodes it at 192 kbps — a good balance of quality and file size.
Is converting YouTube to MP3 legal?
It depends on the content and your rights to it. Converting your own videos or audio the creator allows you to save is fine; ripping copyrighted music you have no rights to is not. See our copyright page.
Can I get video instead?
Yes. Switch the format back to Video (MP4) or use the YouTube video downloader.
