About the YouTube to MP3 Converter
Paste a YouTube link, choose Audio, and Social Downloader takes the best sound track YouTube has and converts it to MP3. It's ideal for podcasts, lectures, talks and anything you'd rather listen to than watch.
MP3 plays everywhere: phones, car stereos, old music players. If you want the original sound without re-encoding, choose M4A (AAC), which is what YouTube itself streams.

Questions
How do I convert YouTube to MP3?
Paste the YouTube link above, switch to Audio, choose MP3 and a bitrate, then press Download. The conversion happens on our server and the MP3 is saved by your browser.
Is 320 kbps better than the original?
No converter can add quality that isn't in the source. 320 kbps keeps as much of YouTube's sound as possible; M4A keeps the original stream exactly.
How long can the video be?
Hour-long podcasts and lectures work fine. Extremely long streams may be limited by the maximum file size.
Can I convert a whole playlist?
Paste a playlist link to see its videos, then download the ones you want one by one.
Is it free?
Yes. Social Downloader is free to use, with no sign-up, no ads and no download limit per day beyond a fair-use limit of two downloads at the same time.
Is it safe?
You download the file straight from this site in your browser; there is nothing to install. Files are prepared on our server and deleted automatically a few minutes later.
