A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is Sonify?+
Sonify is a free browser-based audio toolkit focused on YouTube-to-MP3 conversion and in-page playback. It is an independent service, not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
Is Sonify free?+
Yes. There is no payment or account requirement. Fair-use limits apply on the conversion tools.
Do I need to create an account?+
No. Tools are available without signup.
What tools are available today?+
The YouTube to MP3 Converter and the YouTube to MP3 Player, plus an iPhone/Safari guide. Open them from the home page cards or the nav.
What are the fair-use limits?+
Up to 30 minutes per video, 5 new conversions per hour per connection, one conversion at a time in your browser, and completed files expire after 15 minutes (as stated on the tool pages).
What bitrates can I choose?+
128, 256, or 320 kbps MP3 output. A higher bitrate cannot restore detail missing from the source audio.
How is the Player different from the Converter?+
The Player lets you listen to the resulting MP3 on the page without saving a file. To keep an MP3, use the Converter. Both share the same conversion process and limits.
Does Sonify work on iPhone?+
Yes, in a current mobile browser. Use the https://sonify.uk/iphone/ guide for Safari download and Files-app tips. Background playback is not guaranteed.
Do you keep my links and audio forever?+
No. The link is sent to the conversion server; source media and MP3 files are stored temporarily and completed files expire after 15 minutes (you can delete sooner). See the privacy policy.
Can I convert any YouTube video?+
Only content you have the rights and permissions to download and convert. You must confirm that before starting.
Is there software to install?+
No. Use the web interface; conversion runs through Sonify’s service.
Is there a Pro plan?+
No. Sonify is free with the published fair-use limits; there is no paid tier on the site today.
A little less clicking.
A little more listening.
