What exactly is tubidy?
tubidy is a free web tool that changes YouTube videos into MP3 tracks and MP4 clips. It runs in the browser already on your phone or computer, so there's no app to install, no account to create and nothing to configure. Paste a link, choose MP3 or MP4 and your download is one tap away.
People use it to keep Amapiano mixes, gospel songs, podcasts and music videos on their phone, ready to enjoy offline when data runs low or during load-shedding. Before you download, you see the real size of each MP4 option, so you can decide what fits your data bundle and your storage.

MP3 for music
- Small files that are easy on storage and data
- Plays in every music app, car radio and Bluetooth speaker
- Choose from 64 up to 320 kbps
MP4 for video

Save data: see the size first
Mobile data is precious, so tubidy shows the real file size next to every MP4 quality before you download anything. No guessing and no surprise top-ups. A few habits help you get more from every megabyte:
- Use Wi-Fi for 1080p and 720p videos, which are the biggest files.
- On mobile data, try 360p, 240p or 144p. They still look fine on a small screen.
- Just after the music? Go for MP3, which is far smaller than any video file.
- Hour-long mixes and whole albums work too. As an MP3 they stay far smaller than any video.
