Whether you want to listen to a video podcast offline, save a non-copyrighted music track, or extract an interview, downloading just the audio from a YouTube video is incredibly useful and saves massive amounts of storage space.
Why Extract Audio?
Video files (MP4) are huge. A 1-hour 1080p video can easily be over 1GB. However, if you extract the audio (MP3 or M4A), that same 1-hour file might only be 50MB. This is perfect for listening while driving or working out without draining your data plan.
How to Do It
- Copy the URL of the YouTube video.
- Paste it into VidsGrab.
- Once the formats load, scroll past the "Video" options to the Audio Only section.
- Select the highest bitrate (usually 128kbps or 160kbps M4A).
The audio will download instantly, ready to be played in any music app!
