YouTube is the best library to access the visual content of all types from across the world. Music videos, trailers, short films, movies, interviews, and whatnot. Everything there is to watch on television channels is somehow present on YouTube. In fact, a majority of music singles and album songs are first released on YouTube in the form of music videos.
While it is always engaging to watch these videos to listen to your favorite songs, at times it is required to keep the screen locked while we continue to hear our favorite melodies. Listening to motivational speeches, interviews, and stand-ups also doesn’t need to be watched visually, but just the voices to the ear can do the job. In such cases, one needs a YouTube video download converter in order to convert YouTube video into mp4 or mp3 formats. In that regard, here’s a list of best YouTube video converters available that can shrink up your YouTube videos into smaller size formats:

Top 7 YouTube Video Converter Software
1. Wondershare AllMyTube
AllMyTube from Wondershare is the fastest YouTube video converter and is probably the only one with an extensive list of features:
- AllMyTube allows users to save all videos on YouTube in mp3 formats directly via download link.
- AllMyTube is the only YouTube converter to support around 150 other formats including mp4, m4a, mkv, mvi, etc.
- AllMyTube also converts videos from other video streaming applications including Vimeo, Facebook, TED, and VEVO.

2. Aiseesoft’s Downloader Pro
Downloader Pro by Aiseesoft is widely popular due to its support for video conversion on multiple platforms apart from YouTube, which includes VEVO, Dailymotion, and Metacafe. Providing flexibility for downloads over a variety of devices including iPhones and iPads, Downloader Pro is an easy-to-use YouTube video download converter, which helps in converting videos into various formats, both high-definition and normal. Priced at just $19.60 for either Windows and Mac, this one is the cheapest among all. However, the only reason AllMyTube surpass it in both efficiency and usability is that Downloader Pro does not convert videos to MP3 formats, which, in turn, has affected people’s decision of choosing it as a good downloader and converter for YouTube videos.
3. YTD Converter
While being one of the prominent YouTube video downloaders, YTD is also a fine YouTube video converter. Available for both Windows and Mac, YTD supports conversion of YouTube videos into multiple formats including mp3, mp4, wmv, mov, flv, and avi. YTD offers probably the easiest download and conversion of YouTube videos via the Download button that is displayed over every YouTube video if you have YTD installed on your PC. However, in order to use YTS as a converter, you must buy the Pro version of the software, which is priced really low at $2.99/mo.
YTD also offers conversion of downloaded files into formats supported by devices like iPhone, iPod, and Kindle Fire. Moreover, it’s a good thing that one has to pay for YTD converter as the free version draws a lot of criticism for advertisements.
4. 4K Video Downloader
4K Video Downloader is a YouTube to mp4 clip converter software that allows users to download HD YouTube videos in all sorts of video quality. The qualities in which you can convert YouTube videos range from 4K at the highest to 240p at the lowest. Besides, 4k Video Downloader also allows users to convert the YouTube video file into an mp3 audio format.
However, there is a separate software application called 4K YouTube to MP3, which is designed specifically for the conversion of YouTube videos into audio formats only. While 4K Video downloader allows conversion into MP3 of single YouTube video at a time, the separate converter allows mp3 conversion of direct playlists from YouTube and other music platforms like VEVO and Soundcloud.
So, in case you want a collection of songs, go for the 4K YouTube to mp3 converter, whereas for those wishing to have videos of small size with slightly compromised quality, the video downloader is the choice for you.
