M3U URL to TXT Converter

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.

Why browsers struggle with M3U files

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.

Common use cases

What this tool does (and doesn't do)

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.
