YouTube to MP3
Download YouTube audio in high quality

Updated: June 2026 · 3 min read

Turning a YouTube video into an MP3 is the easiest way to listen to music, podcasts, lectures or interviews offline. Most online "YouTube to MP3" converters cap the quality, bury you in ads, and upload your file to a server first. Grabbit does it differently: it's a free desktop app that extracts the audio locally on your PC and saves a clean, high-quality MP3 in seconds.

How to convert YouTube to MP3 on PC

1. Download the free Grabbit app for Windows and run the installer.
2. Open Grabbit and paste the YouTube video URL into the input field.
3. Click Fetch to load the video info.
4. Select the Audio only format chip.
5. Click Add to Queue — the MP3 is extracted and saved to your PC.

Why use a desktop app instead of an online converter?

• Higher quality — Grabbit pulls the original audio track and converts at up to 320 kbps, not the 128 kbps most web tools give you.
• No ads or fake buttons — web converters are full of malware-laden "download" buttons. Grabbit is a clean app.
• Private — your audio is extracted on your own computer and never uploaded anywhere.
• No file size or length limits — convert full albums, long podcasts or DJ sets.
• Batch mode — paste up to 50 links and convert a whole playlist to MP3 at once (Pro).

Is converting YouTube to MP3 free?

Yes. Grabbit's Free plan lets you convert up to 2 videos per day to MP3 at no cost. If you convert a lot — playlists, podcasts, music libraries — Pro removes the daily limit and unlocks batch mode for $8.99/month or $59.99/year.

Is it legal to convert YouTube to MP3?

Converting YouTube videos to MP3 for personal offline listening is a grey area that varies by country. It violates YouTube's Terms of Service but is generally not pursued for personal use. Never download copyrighted music for commercial redistribution.
