Frequently asked questions
Can every YouTube video be converted?
No. The video must be accessible to the resolver, and source, region, privacy, or platform restrictions can prevent processing.
May I convert someone else's YouTube video?
Only when you have permission or another valid legal right to do so. The confirmation in the tool does not replace permission from the rights holder.
What file does the tool create?
This page extracts the available audio track and returns an MP3 file for download.
