How to get a YouTube link

Use a public YouTube URL that y2keep can recognize. Below are the link shapes we accept. Only convert media you own or have permission to use.

Accepted link formats

Paste one of these YouTube URL patterns into y2keep. Replace placeholders like VIDEO_ID with the real id from Share or the address bar.

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
  • https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID
  • https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID
  • https://www.youtube.com/live/VIDEO_ID
  • https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID
  • https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&list=PLAYLIST_ID (video in a playlist)
  • https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYLIST_ID (playlist; first item unless index is set)
  • Hosts: youtube.com, youtu.be, music.youtube.com, youtube-nocookie.com, youtubekids.com

What does not work

  • Private, members-only, or age-gated videos you cannot open without login.
  • Channel or search result pages without a specific video id.
  • Some live streams that have not ended yet.

How to copy the link

  1. Open the YouTube media. Open the public video, Reel, track, or post in the YouTube app or website.
  2. Copy the link. Use Share → Copy link, or copy the URL from the browser address bar. Prefer the full https:// link.
  3. Paste into y2keep. Open the YouTube converter on y2keep, paste the URL, choose MP3 or MP4, and start conversion.
Convert YouTube to MP3

Need video? Use YouTube to MP4.

YouTube link FAQ

Do youtu.be short links work?

Yes. Paste the full https://youtu.be/… URL from Share or the address bar.

Can I use a playlist link?

Yes when the URL has a list= id. With a video id (v=), that video is used; playlist-only URLs use the selected playlist item.
