Whenever I've tried to download audio clips and songs to use in my edits, I've always run into the classic issues:
-
Way too many popup and redirect ads
-
Slow downloads and/or low quality audio
-
Forced to install a separate program to download the MP3
-
Told high quality audio is only available for "premium members"
And whenever I found a website that actually worked as I wanted, it was always down the next time I tried to use it. I channeled this frustration into creating YTiz, a YouTube/SoundCloud/BandCamp/TikTok/Twitter MP3 downloader that'll hopefully alleviate any issues you've encountered when downloading YouTube audio.
YTiz offers faster downloads than most of the "ytmp3proconvert.cc"-type websites. You can change audio quality from 32kbps all the way to 320kbps. You can toggle metadata and cover art, enable desktop notifications for completed downloads, and even change formats to M4A or FLAC. And of course, there's no ads, no trackers, no installations, no subscriptions, etc.
I'm aware that there's some pretty good apps and command line programs for this purpose, but I wanted to make my site as easy-to-use and accessible as possible. Most of the people I know have no idea what a CLI is; YTiz is for those people.
Sorry for what's basically one big self-promo, but I'd appreciate if you gave my web app a shot. And if you have any feedback, please let me know! I intend to continue supporting and updating YTiz as long as anyone's using it.
You can use YTiz here: https://ytiz.xyz/
EDIT: It's been 3 months since I released YTiz, and the response has been incredible. I originally wished to hit 100 downloads, but now it's at well over 15 thousand downloads! I'm glad so many people are finding YTiz useful.
Thanks for all the support!

Just tried this. VERY nice. Only comment, having the option to choose the download folder would be nice. Other than that, high quality audio and decent speed.
Unfortunately, since it's a website, I can't have a download directory option (that's a browser-level setting that websites have no access to). Thanks for trying it out, though! I really appreciate it.
Would you be able to add a video download option ?
I actually originally meant for it to be a one stop shop for all video/audio downloading, but unfortunately YouTube stores all its videos as WEBM files. Converting the WEBM into MP4 takes way too long for it to be viable as a YT to MP3/MP4 downloader. I'd be happy to add video downloading as WEBM format in the future though, if that's appealing to you?
Nice work, this is great!
Thank you!
Great, just what I was looking for!
I'm glad it was useful!

Thank you very much, exactly what you are looking for in pure online converters and rarely find, this is even the best one I know of that I have used. I will gladly give a tip for it. Thank you very much, good work
Thanks a lot for this. Question, is there any way to streamline it to have it auto download mp3 file using the url instead like, ytiz.xyz/whateverYTurlitis instead of putting the yt link in box and clicking the arrow?
I have about 100 videos to download for my dad 😭😭 it’s a lot of manual work atm.
I have a whole list of url to download so it’d help speed up the process if I can just get it streamline.
Ty so much you’re a live saver 🙏
You are awesome! I've been scrolling through spam sites for like half an hour.
This is perfect, thank you!
Good work brother just used it and I must say that is so simple. Can I request something? Can you add option to edit time of the song to cut it from a certain min/sec like the old ytmp3.eu .
Already added! Just open the settings window and enable Trim Download
It only works for YouTube and can only support up to 5 minute clips unfortunately, since it's a very compute-intensive task for the server.
tried to convert youtube to mp3, says URL not supported
edit: saw your comment on removing 'list' from &list, still did not work. But surprisingly cobalt tools worked with this tip. It was previously showing restricted video.
Amazing, man. Thank you and well done.
Is it possible to enable playlist downloads but limit it to something reasonable (I dunno, 50?)
agree
I'm sorry, I really wanted to have playlist downloads available when I first made YTiz, but the traffic I've been getting since I made this post has already been far higher than I ever anticipated. I originally wondered if even a dozen people would use this, but I'm currently sitting at over 16k downloads.
If I enabled playlist downloads, either the server costs would increase tenfold, or YTiz would work at a snail's pace for everybody. As a result, I'm unfortunately unable to offer playlist downloading. Sorry about that.
Wow man, thanks so much!!! Love it :-)
DUDE I have spent the last hour and a half looking for a non sketch website and I PRAISE your existence 😤🤌🏻 Thank you so much dawg you deserve all the head in the world💖💖
Thanks! Just used it and it works perfectly :)
I've downloaded a few songs with it so far and will be using it to download a few more today and again in the future when the need arises. Just wanted to say I appreciate the ability to select 320kbps, ease of use, and lack of new tab ad redirects. Thank you for making this available to folks like me!
Ayo this is lit
Cool
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Dude thanks for making something simple and easy to use.
Keep up the great work.
Anyone having issues with this today? It says "this url is not supported". Didn't have this issue literally yesterday. :(
i get the same issue on a YT link. it says "Error: This URL is not supported"
:(

As I told u/andrenalion , YouTube has blocked YTiz from accessing its streams on 3 separate occasions in the past 8 days. Until I find a permanent solution in the coming days, YT support will unfortunately be inconsistent. SoundCloud and BandCamp still work. I know this is annoying, and I apologize. I didn't expect YTiz to get so popular that YouTube would block it.
I'll update when I believe I've found a fix. Thanks!
Thank you kind person.
Perhaps you could use TOR to randomly submit each request from a different global Ip?
Sorry about this! YouTube has been aggressively trying to block YTiz this past week. I've been using temporary workarounds, but YouTube downloads will likely be inconsistent until I find a more permanent solution. In the meantime, SoundCloud and BandCamp links should all work normally. Thanks for your patience!
Sorry, but whenever it says "download complete" the file is not there... what can be the reason?
I've been having some server troubles the past couple days, as the hosting provider I've been using has been down a few times. I'm working on a hopefully-permanent fix, but in the meantime, YTiz might not always work. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for bearing with me!
Okay, no problem. I'll try to use it in the future. Thank you! _^
just tried, and all i get is an infinite loading loop :/
Sorry, I've been having some trouble with YTiz for a couple days. YouTube has blocked it from accessing its audio streams, and the server host that I use has been inconsistent the past few days as well. I'm working on a fix, but in the meantime YTiz may not always work. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Is it fixed?
OMG thank you, I've been looking for so long for this, GOOD WORKS! <3
here to bump this thread, as i feel this tool deserves WAY more recognition. great work on the site. it's efficient, it looks great, it's easy to use, and most important of all... it actually works. i will definitely be sharing this with as many people as i can.
side note: youtube seems to work just fine at the moment, so hopefully the uphill battle against IP bans isn't too steep. thank you again for your contribution to this space!
I want to ask, because I’m not familiar with this tech and I would not advocate for its usage for downloading music that should be paid for.
But let’s say I did want to download a song with this tool. What is the quality of the source material? I assume that because it’s streaming, I wouldn’t get uncompressed audio. Meaning, if I saved it as a FLAC, I’m upconverting from a format that used lossy compression.
This is super nice! Great work.
Looks like videos over 1 hour aren't supported. Is that a technical limitation?
I've limited the downloads to 1 hour since longer downloads = longer server usage = increased operating costs. When I initially released YTiz, I didn't impose any time limit and the site was immediately flooded with 12-24 hour downloads. I may increase the time limit slightly in the future, but no plans as of now.
Makes sense. Thanks!!
I'm sorry about the inconvenience. I originally wanted to allow playlist downloads and no limits on time, but the amount of traffic the site has been getting (especially the last 3 weeks) has made that unattainable. I'd need to put dozens of ads on the site to keep it afloat, and I definitely don't want to do that.
FWIW, if I saw a note about server costs and was able to pay 50 cents or $1 or something to convert files over 1 hour I would definitely pay.
where does the file go after it downloads? i can't find it
The file should go into whatever directory your browser sends downloaded files to. On Windows and Mac, that's the Downloads folder (unless you've changed the directory in your browser settings). Sites like YTiz don't have control over where your download goes; only browsers have that control for security purposes.
Thank you very much. I got so tired of renaming the titles of the videos because many of these sites add unnecessary text to the name of the file. And downloading the thumbnail of the video is a great detail too.
had to make an account just to come in and say thank you, saving my ass and all with a safe proper one like this. May you be blessed in your days.
I'm glad you like the site!
thank fck!!!!!! u rock!
Thank you! This I really useful. Is there a way to lift the limitation on the length from 1 hour to longer? That would be really really helpful for academic conference records and stuff. :)
Your only cost is bandwidth right? Or do you outsource that to the user's browser too? I heard that is possible.
Any chance that this will support over 1 hour audio in the near future?
I don't know if OP Converter supports audio longer than 1 hour... But Movavi Video Converter already supports converting audio from YouTube to MP3 longer than 1 hour.
But I'm also interested in your question to OP about supporting audio longer than 1 hour! That need for my recent project :)
Thank you so much for making this. I searched through and through - unsuccessfully until I came across your creation here. Voila! Bless you!!

I'm actually working on a progress bar right now! Thanks for the feedback.
Wow, my Bitdefender firewall does not like this link for some reason. I wonder what's triggering it.
That's really strange, could you send me the warning you're getting? I promise my site is safe; it's hosted on Railway, with DNS through Cloudflare. Source code is available on Github if you're suspicious.
Is there a reason the URL isn't clearing out from the input box after the download is complete?
No reason, just an oversight. I'll fix it for the next update, thanks!
Cool, thanks fort the great tool!
Thanks for using it! I really wasn't sure if people would find it helpful.
This is neat. Thanks a ton. You mentioned to another user that you can't do video because it is WebM but you might be able to do that format in the future. What would that mean, is WebM just a file type? Can premiere accept WebM? Sorry if I'm way out of my depth here.
Yeah, WEBM is a file type that has really poor compatibility with editors and video players; it's primarily meant for browsers like Chrome or Firefox.
Premiere, After Effects, and Davinci Resolve are a bit inconsistent regarding WEBM support: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. H264 and Quicktime files will always work.
I'm considering adding WEBM video in the future for those who have a use for WEBM or can convert it to other formats with other programs, but I'm not sure. Video downloading uses up a lot more CPU and memory power than audio, which'll make maintaining YTiz more expensive.
Anyways, thanks for using YTiz. I'm really glad you like it.
Thanks for making it and thanks so much for the thorough explanation.

YTiz is actually built on yt-dlp. As I mentioned in my post, however, most people are reluctant to install/use command line programs. That's what YTiz is for.
This was really excellent. Much appreciated. Thanks
Amazing, thank you so much for making this.
thank you so much, been looking fo something like this
