How to install

The download installs from a folder on your computer instead of the Chrome Web Store. It takes about a minute.

  1. Download and unzip

    Click Download, then unzip the file. On Windows, right-click it and choose Extract All. On a Mac, double-click it. Keep the folder somewhere it can stay, like Documents: Chrome loads the extension from it every time it starts.

  2. Open Chrome's extensions page

    Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter.

  3. Turn on Developer mode

    It's the switch in the top-right corner of the page.

  4. Click Load unpacked

    Choose the folder you unzipped, the one with manifest.json in it. The extension appears in the list.

  5. Pin it and refresh

    Click the puzzle-piece icon in Chrome's toolbar and pin the extension. Then refresh any open tabs of the sites it works on.

YouTube MP3 Cutter: install its helper first

The cutting and downloading is done by a small helper app on your computer. Install it before step 2.

Windows (needs Python 3.10 or newer): open the unzipped folder, right-click an empty spot, choose Open in Terminal, and run:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File host\install.ps1

Mac (needs Homebrew): open Terminal, type bash and a space, drag install.sh from the host folder inside the unzipped folder into the window, and press Return.

In step 4, choose the extension folder inside the unzipped folder.

Updating: unzip the new version over the old folder, then click the reload icon on the extension's card in chrome://extensions. Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers work the same way, from their own extensions page.
