YouTube Shorts Downloader
Paste the link of a YouTube Short and download it as an MP4 video — in the original vertical quality, free and without an account.
In the YouTube app: open the Short, tap Share → Copy link, then paste the link here. Normal video links work too.
How to download a YouTube Short
- Copy the Shorts link – Open the Short in the YouTube app or browser and copy its link via Share → Copy link.
- Paste it above – Insert the link into the box at the top of this page and press “Get Short”.
- Pick the MP4 format – Choose the highest MP4 quality from the list — Shorts are usually available up to 1080p.
- Save the video – The Short is saved to your device and can be watched or shared offline like any normal video file.
Download Shorts in their original format
YouTube Shorts are vertical videos (9:16, usually 1080×1920) of up to three minutes. When you download a Short with this tool, you receive the original MP4 file exactly as YouTube stores it — we do not re-encode it, shrink it or stamp a watermark on it. That makes the downloaded Short perfect for your own archive, for re-watching offline, or — with the creator's permission — for reposting on other platforms.
You only want the sound of a Short, for example a music clip? Pick one of the audio formats in the result list instead of a video format, and you will get an MP3 or M4A file of the Short's audio track.
Please keep it fair: a downloaded Short still belongs to its creator. Only save and reuse Shorts that you made yourself or that you have permission to use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I copy the link of a Short?
In the YouTube app, open the Short and tap the Share arrow, then “Copy link”. In a browser, simply copy the address from the address bar — it looks like youtube.com/shorts/ followed by the video ID.
What quality do downloaded Shorts have?
Shorts are uploaded vertically, mostly in 1080×1920. The format list shows every quality YouTube offers for that Short; pick the highest MP4 entry for the best result. The file is the original — we never lower the quality.
Does the downloaded Short have a watermark?
We add nothing to the file. You receive the original video exactly as YouTube provides it. (The small Shorts logo you see inside the YouTube player is part of the player, not of the video file.)
Can I download only the audio of a Short?
Yes. After pasting the link, choose one of the audio formats (MP3 or M4A) in the list instead of a video format. That is handy for music and sound clips.
Can I download private or unlisted Shorts?
No. Only publicly available Shorts can be downloaded. Private content is not accessible, and unlisted videos require the direct link and the owner’s permission — please respect that.
