Tiny YouTube Converter is a free new tool to convert YouTube videos to mp3 (grab the audio of a YouTube video and then save it as an mp3 file to your computer). While there are already online tools that do this sort of things, it’s always handy to have such a tool installed in your computer (especially if you are going to do this very often).
Tiny YouTube Converter Installation
Installation is fairly easy. You just have to download the application and double click on the file to install it. The setup file is free of virus and trojans (according to my Norton 360) so it’s safe to install and use it in your computer. No confusing setup or settings. Just install and run.
How to use Tiny YouTube Converter to convert YouTube videos
- Download & install Tiny YouTube Converter
- Open Tiny YouTube Converter
- Open the YouTube video that you want to save with your web browser (I was trying it on a video that I created myself)
- Highlight the video URL, copy, and paste it into Tiny YouTube Converter (see my first screenshot)
- Click on the Convert button and choose where you want to save the audio/mp3 file.
- Wait until it finishes converting and downloading (you’ll get an “Mp3 File Saved” notification).
- Listen and enjoy
Now, all of these sound good BUT unfortunately on a few tests that I did, some of the mp3 files couldn’t be played (I’ve tried opening them with WinAmp, Windows Media Player, and even with VLC). Tiny YouTube Converter is in fact still in Beta, so it might be some time before we’re able to get a bug-free application and a 100% successful conversion rate. Nevertheless, it works but not always.
Tiny YouTube Converter Review Conclusion
Tiny YouTube Converter is a new tool in the market to convert YouTube videos to mp3 files. Use this tool at your own risks and I’m pretty sure there will be copyright written all over the videos that you want to convert from. I don’t see any problems if the videos are yours or your friends’ though. Tiny YouTube Converter is simple, free, and easy to use. You might get a successful conversion and at other times you might not. The application is still in beta so you might want to wait longer to get all the bugs fixed.
Meanwhile, if you can’t convert a video, use the freely available YouTube video online converter such as Vixy or VidToMp3.

Just wondering about the quality of converted songs from Youtube. Will it be the same quality with youtube sound?
When I tested it, it does. But I’m not really an audiophile so I couldn’t tell that much unfortunately
I use DVDSoft’s awesome free collection of programs – very simple YouTube to MP3 converter that works beautifully. Also love theirs YouTube to Video (basically just gives you an .avi or .wmv video file so you can store the YouTube video on your own computer). Check out Michael!
Thanks for the info, Dmytro. I might, after a bunch of review “homework” that I need to do lol
why not just download them as video and then convert them to mp3 using a desktop tool, there are so many converters already…
Well, you save bandwidth and time, I guess. And not all people have video to mp3 converters on the desktop installed
Its good… It will help in saving the unwanted bandwidth which goes wasted in downloading the video Part! And everyone know that there are a lot of video songs on youtube so we can download those as MP3 files, legally now..But will this software allow downloading and converting these videos?
Rohit Sane´s last blog ..Tech-Freak Stuff has moved to a Premium Web-Host after a poor time at a Free Web-Host
Not sure whether it’s legally allowed through the software, but I guess it depends on which videos you are downloading
