Convert YouTube to MP3 in one click

1. The bookmark (desktop, any browser)

Drag this button onto your bookmarks bar. Then, on any YouTube video or Short, click the bookmark: AudioFetcher opens in a new tab with that video ready to convert.

🐶 Send to AudioFetcher

Can't see your bookmarks bar? Press Ctrl+Shift+B (⌘+Shift+B on a Mac). Clicking the button on this page only shows a reminder; it works on YouTube. Browsers don't show icons for bookmarks like this one, so Woofer in the name is its icon.

javascript:(()=>{const u=location.href;if(!/(^|\.)(youtube\.com|youtu\.be)$/.test(location.hostname)||!/[?&](v|list)=|\/(shorts|live)\/|youtu\.be\//.test(u)){alert("Open a YouTube video first, then click this bookmark.");return;}window.open('https://audiofetcher.com/?src=bookmarklet&url='+encodeURIComponent(u),'_blank');})();

2. Change the address

On any YouTube video, replace youtube.com with audiofetcher.com in the address bar and press Enter. For example youtube.com/watch?v=… becomes audiofetcher.com/watch?v=…. It works for Shorts, live videos and playlists too.

3. A button on YouTube (userscript)

Prefer a real button on the YouTube page? Install a userscript manager such as Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey, then install the AudioFetcher script. It adds a small MP3 · AudioFetcher button to every video and Short.

The script is short and readable; your userscript manager shows it before installing. The button's menu converts to MP3, MP4, FLAC or M4A, saves the HD thumbnail or copies a link at the current time; nothing happens until you click.

4. On your phone: the Share menu

Android: open audiofetcher.com in Chrome or Edge and choose Install app (or Add to Home screen) from the browser menu. AudioFetcher then appears when you tap Share in the YouTube app.

iPhone and iPad: the AudioFetcher shortcut

iPhones don't let websites join the Share menu, but a free Apple Shortcut can. Once it's added, tap Share on any YouTube video and pick AudioFetcher: Safari opens AudioFetcher with the video ready.

Opens in the Shortcuts app; tap Add Shortcut. Or make it yourself in a minute:

1. Open the Shortcuts app, tap + and name it AudioFetcher.
2. Search the actions for URL Encode and add it. At the top, tap Nowhere and choose Share Sheet, then tap the input type and keep only URLs and Text. Set URL Encode to use Shortcut Input.
3. Add a Text action and type https://audiofetcher.com/?src=shortcut&url=, then, right after url=, insert the URL Encoded Text variable (it's in the bar above the keyboard).
4. Add Open URLs; it reads Open Text. The finished shortcut looks like this:

Now, in the YouTube app, tap Share on a video and choose AudioFetcher (scroll down the list, or tap More). The first time, tap Always Allow.

No shortcut? In Safari, change youtube.com to audiofetcher.com in the address bar, or copy the video link and paste it into AudioFetcher.

Using Firefox? There's also the AudioFetcher add-on for converting and queueing straight from YouTube.
