If you've ever pasted an M3U playlist URL into your browser and been met with a blank video player or a broken playback box you're not alone.
This free tool extracts the actual stream URLs from an M3U playlist and converts them into a simple, readable TXT file.

Paste the full URL of an M3U or M3U8 playlist below. The tool will fetch the playlist, extract each stream URL, and prepare a downloadable TXT file.
Next step: Check this TXT file for broken streams
M3U playlists were never designed for modern web browsers. When Chrome, Edge, or Safari encounters an M3U URL, it often tries to play it as a video stream instead of displaying the playlist contents.
This makes it difficult to inspect, copy, or audit the individual stream URLs — especially when troubleshooting IPTV issues or cleaning up large channel lists.
This converter does extract URLs that already exist in a playlist. It does not unlock streams, bypass access controls, or modify content.
Use it responsibly and only with playlists and streams you are authorised to access.
