How to upload an MP3 to YouTube
YouTube does not take a bare audio file, so an MP3 has to become a video first: your picture on the screen, your track as the sound. This page does both steps and uploads the result for you.
- Add your tracksDrop in one MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC or OGG file, or up to 30 at once. Each track can be from 3 seconds to 20 minutes long.
- Add a pictureChoose your cover or any image (JPG, PNG or WebP). It sits on a black 16:9 frame as large as it fits. One picture can serve every track, or each track can have its own.
- Check the detailsThe page measures the BPM and the key of each track and writes a title, tags and a description from your name, socials and license. If you let it, an AI model also listens to 30 seconds to guess the style and the artists it sounds like. You can edit all of it.
- Create the videoPress Create video and ZIP. The video is made on your own computer, so nothing waits in a queue and nothing is uploaded.
- Upload it to YouTubeConnect your channel, choose Publish now or Schedule, and press Upload. Or download the MP4 and the three text files in one ZIP and upload by hand.
Want to start now? Jump up to the tool: you need an audio file and a picture, and that is all.
Upload and schedule on YouTube
When the videos are ready, use the Publish to YouTube panel. Connect your channel once, then pick what you want:
- Publish now. Each video goes live as soon as it is uploaded: public, unlisted or private.
- Schedule. Pick a time and a target audience. The videos go up as private and YouTube publishes them by itself at your times, so you can close the page.
- A rhythm for the batch. Every day, weekdays, weekends, every 2 or 3 days or weekly, with 1 to 6 videos a day.
- Your own time for every video. Set the date, the time and the target of each track by hand.
- A thumbnail. Your picture can be set as the thumbnail (YouTube allows custom thumbnails on verified channels only).
The videos go from your browser straight to YouTube, not through our servers. The page asks for one permission, to upload videos, and reads nothing from your account. In Google's permission window the app is called “FLEXTRIK Type Beat Video Maker”. You can disconnect in one click or remove the permission in your Google Account. The privacy policy has the details.
MP3 to YouTube video: formats and quality
This page is an audio to video converter made for YouTube: it puts your picture on a 1920 × 1080 frame, adds your audio as 320 kbps AAC sound and gives you a standard MP4. Because the video is built in your browser, there is no upload to wait for, no file queue and no watermark.
Choose Whole picture to keep the full cover on the black frame, or Fill the frame to crop it to 16:9. WAV to YouTube, FLAC to YouTube and M4A to YouTube work the same way as MP3.
| Audio | MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC or OGG, from 3 seconds to 20 minutes, up to 300 MB each |
|---|---|
| Picture | JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 30 pictures at a time |
| Video you get | MP4, 1920 × 1080 (16:9), AAC sound at 320 kbps |
| Texts you get | title.txt, tags.txt and desc.txt for every track |
A free TunesToTube alternative
TunesToTube is a well-known service that turns an audio file and an image into a YouTube video and uploads it. If you are looking for a free alternative, this page does the same core job in a different way: the video is made in your browser, so you need no account with us, and batch upload, scheduling and WAV or FLAC are free here.
| This tool | TunesToTube, from its homepage | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | The basic upload is free; extra features are an account upgrade |
| Watermark | None | Removing it is listed as an upgrade feature |
| Batch upload | Up to 30 tracks | Up to 100 files, listed as an upgrade feature |
| Scheduled uploads | Yes: a rhythm, or a time for every video | Listed as an upgrade feature |
| WAV and FLAC | Yes | Listed as an upgrade feature |
| Ads | None | An ad-free experience is listed as an upgrade feature |
| Also here | BPM and key, written titles, tags and descriptions, targets for the USA, Europe and Asia | Not listed on its homepage |
TunesToTube has been around since 2011, and its upgrades cover things this page does not, such as uploading from a web link or from SoundCloud and batches of up to 100 files. If you need those, look at it. If you want to upload MP3s to YouTube without a watermark, without paying for batches and with scheduling built in, this page is for you.
The TunesToTube column follows its homepage in November 2026. Plans change, so check its site. FLEXTRIK is not affiliated with TunesToTube or YouTube; the names belong to their owners.
Made for beats and music
You can upload any audio, but the page is tuned for producers who post beats. Two things help there.
Titles and tags for type beats
Type beat titles follow one pattern: [FREE] Artist x Artist Type Beat 2026 - "Beat Name". People search for an artist's name together with "type beat", so the names go first, and the name of the beat goes last in quotes. YouTube shows about 70 characters of a title in search results, so keep the important words at the front.
The tags can hold 500 characters in total: put the artist searches first ("yeat type beat", "free yeat type beat"), then the genre, then the plain phrases like "free type beat". In the description, the first 100 to 150 characters are what people read under the video in search, so they should say what the beat is. Then come your license, your contacts, the BPM and the key.
Only use the names of artists your beat really sounds like. Misleading titles and tags are against YouTube's rules, and they also bring the wrong listeners. For music that is not a beat, edit the texts before you upload.
BPM and key
Artists and buyers search by tempo and key, so both belong in the description. The page measures them for you: it analyses every track in your browser, with no AI and no upload. Tempo finders sometimes land on half or double time. If the number feels wrong, press the ½ or 2× button, or type the BPM yourself. The key is an estimate too: check it against your project if you know it.
When to post on YouTube
YouTube has no official best time to publish. What helps is going live when your viewers are awake and browsing, usually in the evening after school or work in their time zone. That is why the scheduler works with targets: pick where your viewers live, and the time you set is their local time.
| Target | Time zone | We start at |
|---|---|---|
| USA East | New York | 17:00 |
| USA West | Los Angeles | 17:00 |
| UK | London | 18:00 |
| Europe | Berlin | 18:00 |
| Japan | Tokyo | 20:00 |
| Singapore | Singapore | 20:00 |
| India | Kolkata | 19:00 |
These are typical evening hours to start from, not rules. Open YouTube Studio, then Analytics and Audience, and look at “When your viewers are on YouTube” to see your own busiest hours. A steady rhythm, for example one track a day, is easier to keep than a burst of ten.
What is in the ZIP
- The video (MP4): 1920 x 1080, your picture on black, your sound as AAC at 320 kbps. Ready to upload. With many tracks every video lies in its own numbered folder.
- title.txt: the title you picked.
- tags.txt: the tags, separated by commas and cut to the 500 characters YouTube allows.
- desc.txt: the description with your license, contacts, BPM, key, the artists it sounds like and hashtags.

Questions
How do I upload an MP3 to YouTube?
YouTube takes video, not bare audio, so the MP3 needs a picture. Drop your MP3 and a picture into this page, check the title, tags and description it writes, press Create video and ZIP, then connect your channel and press Upload (or download the MP4 and upload it by hand). The page does the converting and the uploading.
Is there a free TunesToTube alternative?
Yes, this page. It turns an audio file and a picture into a YouTube video and uploads it to your channel, like TunesToTube does, but the video is made in your browser, there is no watermark, and batch upload, scheduling and WAV or FLAC are free here. The table above compares it with what TunesToTube lists on its homepage.
Is this like TunesToTube?
It does the same core job: an audio file plus an image becomes a video on your YouTube channel. The differences are that the video is made in your browser, you can schedule a whole batch for your audience's time zone, and the title, tags and description are written for you. FLEXTRIK is not affiliated with TunesToTube.
Is this MP3 to YouTube tool free?
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up with us and puts no watermark on the video. The video is made on your own computer, so there is nothing to pay for.
Can I upload music to YouTube without a video?
Not really: YouTube needs a video, but it can be a single still picture. That is what this page makes: your cover or any image on a black 16:9 frame, with your track as the sound.
Can I upload many MP3 files at once?
Yes. Drop up to 30 tracks. Each becomes its own video with its own title, tags and description, and you can upload them all in one go or schedule them. One picture can serve every track, or each track can have its own, and you can also download everything as one ZIP with a folder for every video.
How do I upload a song or an album to YouTube?
Drop the tracks of the song or the album (up to 30), add the cover, and upload. Each track becomes a separate video, and you can group them into a playlist in YouTube Studio afterwards.
Can I upload WAV or FLAC to YouTube?
Yes. This page takes WAV and FLAC as well as MP3, M4A, AAC and OGG (3 seconds to 20 minutes each) and makes an MP4 with your sound at 320 kbps. Lossless files work for free.
How do I schedule uploads on YouTube?
Connect your channel in the Publish to YouTube panel, choose Schedule, pick a target audience (USA, UK, Europe, Japan, Singapore, India or your own time zone), a time and how often to post, then press Upload. The videos go up as private and YouTube publishes each one at its time, so you can close the page. You can also set the date and time of every video by hand.
What is a target and which one should I pick?
A target is the place where most of your viewers live. The time you pick is their local time: a video aimed at the USA at 17:00 goes out at 17:00 in New York. Pick the region of your audience, which you can see in YouTube Studio under Analytics and Audience, or use your own time zone.
What is the best time to post on YouTube?
YouTube has no official best time. A good start is the evening in your viewers' time zone, such as 17:00 to 18:00 in the USA and Europe. Then open YouTube Studio, Analytics, Audience and look at “When your viewers are on YouTube” to see your own busiest hours.
Does the video have a watermark?
No. The video is made in your browser and nothing is added to it.
What size and format should the video be?
1920 × 1080 (16:9) in an MP4 with AAC sound is the usual choice, and it is what this tool makes. Your audio is encoded at 320 kbps.
Are my files uploaded to your server?
No. The video, the ZIP, the BPM and the key are all made in your browser, and your files never leave your device, unless you choose to upload the videos to YouTube from this page (then your browser sends them to YouTube directly, not through us). Only when the AI style detector is on, a 30-second low-quality clip from the loudest part of the beat is sent to an AI service to guess the style. We do not store it, and you can switch the detector off.
Is it safe to connect my YouTube account?
The page asks for one permission, to upload videos. It never sees your password, it reads nothing from your account, and the sign-in lives only in this browser tab. You can press Disconnect at any time or remove the permission in your Google Account. The privacy policy has the details.
Is it only for type beats?
No, you can upload any audio. The title, tags and description are written in the type beat pattern by default, so for other music edit them before you upload.
How does it find the BPM and the key?
The page analyses each track in your browser, with no AI and no upload. Tempo detection can land on half or double time, so use the ½ and 2× buttons or type the BPM yourself, and check the key against your project if you know it.
What do I get in the ZIP?
A 1080p MP4 with your picture on a black frame and your sound as AAC audio at 320 kbps, plus title.txt, tags.txt and desc.txt, ready to paste into YouTube Studio. With several tracks the ZIP has one folder for each video with the same four files inside.
Which browser do I need?
A current Chrome or Edge on a computer works best. The tool uses the video and audio encoders that are built into the browser. Safari and Firefox work if they offer the same encoders.
Does it work on a phone?
It runs in the browser, so a recent Chrome on a phone may work, but a computer is the safer choice for large files and long tracks.
How does it choose the artists for the title?
An AI model listens to a short clip and picks the best matches from a list of popular type beat artists. You can change, remove or add artists before you make the video, and you should keep only the ones your beat really sounds like.
Can I put artist names in a type beat title?
Type beat videos name artists to describe a style, and most producers do it. YouTube does not allow misleading titles, tags or descriptions, so use a name only when your beat really is in that style. The description written by the tool also says that the beat is not affiliated with those artists.
Why does the page say I cannot upload more videos today?
YouTube limits how many videos an app may upload per day, and this tool shares that allowance between everyone who uses it. When it is used up, the page tells you. Download the MP4 from the ZIP and upload it by hand, or try again the next day.
