YouTube to MP3 questions

How do I convert a YouTube video to MP3?

Copy the video link, paste it into the box at the top of this page and tap Convert. The MP3 tab opens with the available options. Tap one, wait for 100% and tap Download to save the audio.

Which MP3 options are there?

You can pick 320, 256 or 128 kbps. Every option gives you the audio of the video in one file, so choose the one you like and save it.

Can I convert long videos like mixes or podcasts?

Yes. Long uploads such as hour-long mixes, live sets, lectures and podcasts work the same way as short songs. Each file can be up to 2 GB, and a small window shows the progress while it is prepared.

Can I convert a whole playlist?

No. X2Download saves one video at a time. If you paste a link that belongs to a playlist, only that one video is converted, not the rest of the list.

Does the MP3 play on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The audio file plays in the built-in music and file apps on iPhone and Android, and in common players on Windows, macOS and Linux.

How long does converting take?

Usually just a few seconds. Tap an option and a small window shows the progress. When it reaches 100%, tap Download.
