Question 1

How do I convert a YouTube video to MP3?

Accepted Answer

Copy the YouTube video URL. Paste it into ClipRip and select the MP3 option from the format choices. Click download, and the audio file saves to your device. The whole process takes a few seconds.

Question 2

What audio quality will the MP3 be?

Accepted Answer

ClipRip extracts audio at the highest quality available from the YouTube video, up to 320kbps. The actual quality depends on what was uploaded. Most YouTube videos have audio at 128kbps or higher.

Question 3

Can I convert YouTube Shorts to MP3?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shorts work the same as regular YouTube videos. Copy the Shorts URL, paste it in, select MP3, and download the audio. Handy for grabbing sound clips or music snippets.

Question 4

Is it legal to convert YouTube to MP3?

Accepted Answer

Converting YouTube videos you have permission to use (Creative Commons, your own uploads) is fine. Converting copyrighted music for personal offline listening exists in a gray area. Distributing or selling converted audio from copyrighted content is not legal.

Question 5

How long can the YouTube video be?

Accepted Answer

There is no strict length limit on ClipRip. You can convert short Shorts clips or multi-hour lectures. Longer videos will naturally take a bit more time to process, but they work the same way.
