Whether you are after crisp audio for your workouts or a convenient MP4 video for offline viewing, GetYTVideos makes the process quick and straightforward.
MP3 is the universal audio standard. Our MP3 converter supports multiple bitrate choices to balance sound quality and file size. Typical bitrates include 96 kbps, 128 kbps, 192 kbps, and 320 kbps, with sample rates of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Stereo and mono options are available depending on the source audio. File sizes scale with duration and bitrate; for example, a 4-minute track at 128 kbps is roughly 2.4–3.0 MB, while the same track at 320 kbps is about 9–12 MB. MP3 uses the MPEG-1/2 Layer III codec and remains compatible with almost every media player, library, and device.
| Format | Quality Options | Typical File Size per Minute | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP3 | 96-320 kbps; 44.1/48 kHz; Stereo/Mono | 0.9–4 MB/min depending on bitrate | Music playback, podcasts, ringtones |
MP4 is the most widely supported video container. Our MP4 outputs support resolutions from 360p up to 1080p in most cases, with some videos offering higher resolutions when the source supports it. Video codecs typically used are H.264/AVC or H.265/HEVC, with AAC audio. Typical bitrates vary by resolution and length, ranging from a few hundred kbps for 360p to several Mbps for 1080p. A 5-minute 1080p MP4 can be roughly 150–350 MB depending on the encoding settings. MP4 is compatible with almost all devices including desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs.
We also provide options in WEBM (great for modern browsers and certain devices) and M4A/AAC in some cases. WEBM uses VP9/VP8 video codecs with Vorbis or Opus audio. M4A is essentially AAC in a different container. The best choice depends on your device, operating system, and how you plan to use the file. If you need simple audio extraction, MP3 is usually the best default.
Understanding quality helps you balance fidelity and file size. MP3 at 320 kbps offers near-CD quality for many listeners, while 128 kbps is perfectly adequate for most casual listening and keeps downloads small. For MP4, 1080p delivers crisp video quality, while 720p saves bandwidth and space. Some videos can be transcoded with Variable Bitrate (VBR) to optimize quality across complex scenes, though not all outputs expose VBR options. We present clear, predictable choices so you can pick the right option quickly.
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III. It is a lossy audio compression format that reduces file size by discarding audio data deemed less audible to human ears. The encoding process uses psychoacoustic models to remove inaudible components and compress the remaining data. Typical MP3 files use samples at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz and may be encoded as mono or stereo. The most common bitrates are 128 kbps and 320 kbps, which strike a balance between sound quality and file size for everyday listening.
Bitrate determines how much data is used per second of audio. Higher bitrate results in better fidelity but larger files. MP3 uses the MPEG-1/2 Layer III codec, and the audio stream is typically encapsulated in an MP3 frame-based structure. The file size roughly equals bitrate × duration. For example, a 3-minute track at 128 kbps is around 2.9 MB; at 320 kbps, around 7–8 MB. Audio sample rate (44.1 kHz vs 48 kHz) influences frequency response and compatibility with different devices. Mono versus stereo affects the per-minute file size as well.
MP3 is supported by virtually all media players: desktops, smartphones, car stereos, and streaming devices. Its simplicity and broad compatibility make it the default choice for many users when they need audio from a video without the video track.
MP4 is a versatile container that can hold video, audio, subtitles, and metadata. It commonly uses H.264/AVC for video and AAC for audio. MP4 supports a broad range of resolutions—from mobile-friendly 360p to high-definition 4K in some cases—though our standard outputs typically cover 360p, 480p, 720p, and 1080p.
Video bitrate, resolution, and frame rate determine the video's quality and size. For example, a 1080p MP4 might use a bitrate from 4 Mbps to 12 Mbps depending on duration and encoding, with frame rates commonly at 24, 30, or 60 frames per second. Audio in MP4 is usually AAC with bitrates from 128 kbps to 320 kbps. The resulting file size grows with resolution and duration but is typically manageable for personal offline viewing and editing.
A 5-minute 720p MP4 video may be in the 100–250 MB range, while the same video at 1080p could be 200–500 MB. These estimates vary with device, encoder, and chosen bitrate. We provide sensible defaults to balance usefulness with download times on common networks.
All GetYTVideos outputs are designed to work across major platforms: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and smart TVs. MP3 files play in almost all audio players, including car stereo systems. MP4 videos play in most video players on computers and mobile devices. If you encounter issues, try a lower bitrate or a different format to improve compatibility with your device.
Respect for creators and the law is essential. Downloading or converting YouTube content may violate YouTube's Terms of Service and copyright in many cases unless you have explicit permission or own the rights to the content. Use GetYTVideos for personal, lawful purposes where permitted by law and the content owner.

Primary outputs are MP3 and MP4. We also provide additional formats such as WEBM or M4A in some cases to suit different devices and browsers. The available options depend on the video source and regional server capabilities.
No registration is required. You can use GetYTVideos instantly without signing up.
Yes. Our servers are optimized for speed, and most conversions complete within seconds to a few minutes, depending on video length and chosen quality. If you experience delays, you can retry or choose a lower bitrate to speed things up.
We aim to preserve high quality at the chosen bitrate or resolution. Higher bitrates and 1080p (or higher where available) yield better fidelity, while lower settings save space and time.
Choosing MP3 versus MP4 depends on your use case. MP3 is ideal for audio-only needs—music listening, podcasts, and voice clips—whereas MP4 preserves video for offline viewing or editing. WEBM and M4A offer compatibility advantages on specific devices and browsers. Consider your device support, file size, and playback context when deciding which format to use. MP3 at 192–320 kbps is a reliable default for most listeners, while 1080p MP4 provides a high-quality viewing experience when video is essential.
