About Paradify
Paradify is a web-based tool that transfers your YouTube and YouTube Music playlists to Spotify. Connect your accounts, pick a playlist, and Paradify handles the rest — no downloads, no installs, no manually searching for every track.
The service is built around one specific workflow: YouTube to Spotify. That focus means everything — matching logic, interface, pricing — is optimized for that transfer rather than spread thin across dozens of platforms you'll never use.
The Story Behind Paradify
Paradify started as a simple favor. Volkan Akin, a software engineer based in Amsterdam, built the first version because a friend wanted an easier way to transfer songs from YouTube to Spotify with one click. He didn't expect it to go anywhere.
It did. Within a short time, hundreds of people were using it — none of whom Volkan knew. Watching something he created help real people was, in his words, incredibly rewarding. But there was a catch: maintaining it took significant time. Keeping up with YouTube and Spotify API changes, fixing bugs, responding to user feedback — all while making no income from it. For years, he kept it completely free.
After over a decade of that, Volkan decided it was time to move on and find the project a new home.
Paradify Today
In February 2026, Volkan passed Paradify on to Ashwin, a full-stack developer based in India who has spent years building web tools across SEO, server optimization, and SaaS. A tinkerer by nature, Ashwin is drawn to focused tools that solve a specific problem well — which is exactly what Paradify is.
Paradify isn't his only project. Ashwin also builds and runs DocTrux (an OCR document conversion tool), Parsifyx (a privacy-first document processing platform), and Tunnel2Tech — a tech blog he's been running since 2016. The through-line across all of them is the same: practical tools built by someone who actually uses them.
When he's not shipping code, you'll find him at the gym or around anything with an internal combustion engine.
Why People Use Paradify
Most people find Paradify when they've built up years of playlists on YouTube and want them available in Spotify — for offline listening, better audio quality, or personalized recommendations like Discover Weekly. Recreating those playlists by hand isn't practical when you're dealing with hundreds of tracks across multiple lists.
Others use it regularly as they discover music on YouTube and want to keep their Spotify library current. The Chrome extension makes that workflow seamless — you can add a track to Spotify without leaving YouTube.
Privacy and Security
Paradify connects to YouTube and Spotify through their official OAuth flows. Your credentials are never stored — only the access tokens required to perform the transfer. Tokens are used solely to read your YouTube playlists and write to your Spotify account.
You can revoke Paradify's access at any time from your Google or Spotify account settings.
