. 5 min read

A killer beat in a YouTube Short got stuck in your head? Then I have some good news for you: You can easily download YouTube shorts as MP3!

Whether it's for offline listening, creating a custom playlist, or repurposing the audio for your projects, converting YouTube Shorts to MP3 is easier than you think.

Now, before we jump in, a quick heads-up: Downloading copyrighted content can be a legal gray area, so it's important to only convert Shorts for which you have permission (like creators offering free downloads).

How to Download YouTube Shorts MP3

Step 1: Find the YouTube Short you want to convert

The first step is to identify the YouTube Short you want to convert to MP3. Open the YouTube app or website, navigate to the Shorts section, and find your desired video.


Step 2: Copy the video URL

Once you've found the video, you'll need to copy its URL. On the YouTube app, tap on the "Share" button and then select "Copy Link." If you're on a desktop, simply copy the URL from the address bar.


Step 3: Choose a YouTube Shorts to MP3 converter
