Is This Video to MP3 Converter Safe? No Upload, No Install

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): This one is. The video is read and converted inside your browser using Mediabunny, an open-source media library, and MP3 encoding uses the LAME encoder, so the file never leaves your device and nothing is installed. There are no pop-ups, downloads of .exe files or extension prompts. Be careful with converters that ask you to install an app, show fake download buttons or redirect to other sites; those are the common sources of malware.
