Sometimes the sound is all you need: a lecture to replay on your commute, a podcast clip, a speech, a voice-over or a song from a Reel. Watching the whole video every time wastes data and battery.
This guide shows how to turn a video link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and more into an MP3 file on any device, and how to pick the right audio quality.
How to convert a video link to MP3
- Copy the video link. In most apps, tap Share, then Copy link.
- Open PullClip in any browser and paste the link. On a computer you can just press Ctrl+V anywhere on the page.
- Press Download and wait a few seconds while PullClip reads the video.
- Switch to the Audio tab.
- Pick MP3 320 kbps or MP3 128 kbps and tap Save.
That is it. The same steps work on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac, and you never need an account.
320 kbps or 128 kbps?
| Bitrate | Best for | Size (about) |
|---|---|---|
| MP3 320 kbps | Music and anything you will play on good headphones or speakers | 2.4 MB per minute |
| MP3 128 kbps | Speech, podcasts, lectures and voice notes | 1 MB per minute |
A higher bitrate cannot add quality the video never had. If the original upload has thin, compressed audio, 128 kbps will sound almost the same as 320 kbps and saves more than half the space.
Where to find the MP3 after downloading
- Android: in the Downloads folder. Music apps usually pick it up automatically.
- iPhone: in the Files app under Downloads. You can play it there, or share it to a music or podcast app.
- Windows and Mac: in your Downloads folder, ready to open in any player.
Keep only part of the audio
A one-hour talk where you only need five minutes? Use Trim to set start and end points before saving. You get a shorter file that is faster to download and easier to share.
Platform tips
- YouTube: great for lectures, podcasts and music videos. Use the YouTube downloader and pick the Audio tab.
- TikTok: save a trending sound from any public TikTok with the TikTok downloader.
- Instagram: keep a Reel’s voice-over or song. See how to download Instagram Reels.
- Facebook: perfect for sermons and interviews. Some Reels with library music may have no song in the file, as explained in our Facebook Reels with sound guide.
A note on copyright
Converting your own videos, public-domain recordings, Creative Commons content or clips you have permission to use is fine. Commercial music belongs to its artists and labels, so do not redistribute it. If you love a song, support the artist on a streaming service.
