Extract Audio from Videos & Download Music
Convert YouTube videos to MP3, download from SoundCloud, and build your offline music library.
Why Extract Audio?
You found an amazing live performance on YouTube. A DJ set on SoundCloud that's perfect for your commute. A podcast episode you want to listen to while running. You don't need the video — just the audio.
Streaming eats your data plan, dies in subway tunnels, and requires an app subscription to go offline. Downloading as MP3 gives you files you actually own — play them on your phone, car stereo, old iPod, whatever.
BlackHole extracts high-quality MP3 audio from any supported platform, so you can listen anywhere without streaming. Free account setup takes seconds, no monthly fees for offline access, no "download expired" nonsense.

YouTube to MP3
Convert music videos, live performances, and concert recordings to audio files. That acoustic session with 2M views? Now it's in your music library.
SoundCloud downloads
Download tracks, mixes, and DJ sets from SoundCloud. That 3-hour deep house mix? Save it and listen offline at the gym or on a flight.
Podcast archiving
Download podcast episodes for offline listening — no app subscription needed. Your favorite shows, saved as plain MP3 files.
Study playlists
Extract audio from lo-fi, ambient, or focus music compilations. Hours of study music without a single ad interruption.
