FAQ
- What formats can I convert YouTube videos to?
- MP4 (every quality YouTube offers, including 4K), M4A (untouched audio at the highest bitrate), Opus (alternate audio container), and MP3 (re-encoded at 192 kbps).
- Is the converter free?
- Yes. No quotas, no premium tier, no "sign up for unlimited."
- What's the difference between M4A and MP3?
- M4A is the audio YouTube delivers, untouched. Same bitrate as the source, no re-encoding, smaller file. MP3 is a re-encoded version at 192 kbps for compatibility with older players. If you can play either, pick M4A.
- Does converting to MP3 reduce audio quality?
- Slightly. Re-encoding from one lossy format to another loses a small amount of fidelity. Inaudible for spoken word and casual listening. For mastering or critical listening, use M4A.
- How long does conversion take?
- MP4 is essentially the download time plus a few seconds. MP3 conversion adds a bit more because it's re-encoded.
- Can I convert just part of the video?
- Yes. Open the "Trim portion of video" panel, drag the handles, then pick a format.
