This tool downloads YouTube Shorts to your device as MP4 video or audio files. YouTube Shorts are vertical videos up to 60 seconds long. This downloader saves them in the original quality so you can watch or listen offline.
The process is simple. Paste a Shorts link, choose your format, and click Download. The file goes straight to your device. No app installation or account creation required.
How to Download YouTube Shorts
- Open the YouTube Short you want to save.
- Tap the Share button and copy the link. The URL looks like youtube.com/shorts/...
- Paste the URL into the input field above and click "Get Video Info".
- Pick your quality -- 1080p for best picture, 720p for a balance of quality and size.
- Click Download. The file saves to your device in seconds.
Output Formats
Video (MP4) -- Available in 1080p, 720p, 480p, and 360p. Since Shorts are under 60 seconds, even 1080p files stay small -- typically under 15MB.
Audio (MP3 / WAV) -- Extract just the sound from a Short. Useful for saving music clips, sound effects, or audio memes.
YouTube Shorts vs Regular Videos
YouTube Shorts use a different URL format (youtube.com/shorts/...) but they are regular YouTube videos under the hood. This downloader handles both formats. You can also paste a Shorts link into our YouTube Video Downloader and it will work the same way.
The dedicated Shorts page exists for convenience -- the interface is identical, but the placeholder text and descriptions focus on the Shorts workflow.
Where to Find the Shorts URL
- Mobile app -- Open the Short, tap Share, then tap "Copy link".
- Desktop browser -- Open the Short and copy the URL from the address bar.
- Share menu -- Most Shorts have a share icon that gives you the direct link.
