About Y2meta

What is Y2meta?

Y2meta is a free, web-based YouTube downloader and converter that lets you save YouTube videos as MP3 or MP4 files directly in your browser — no software installation, no account, and no hidden fees. Since launch, Y2meta has served millions of users across 21 languages worldwide.

Our tool supports a wide range of output formats and quality options: MP3 audio up to 320 kbps, and MP4 video up to 4K resolution. Whether you are saving a podcast, a lecture, or a music video for offline listening, Y2meta processes conversions quickly and keeps the original quality intact.

Our Mission

We believe access to your own saved content should be simple and free. Y2meta was built to remove the barriers between you and your favorite YouTube content — no paywalls, no mandatory sign-ups, no intrusive software. Just paste a URL and download.

Privacy & Security

Y2meta does not collect personal data, does not store conversion history, and does not require you to create an account. Every conversion request is processed and discarded — we never retain the URLs you submit or the files you download. All connections to Y2meta are secured with SSL/TLS encryption.

We do not serve intrusive ads, install browser extensions, or bundle third-party software. Your privacy is a design principle, not an afterthought.
