YouTube Shorts are vertical, usually under 60 seconds, and distributed by algorithm rather than subscriber count. A creator can post a Short and have it reach a million people who've never seen their channel. That also means Shorts disappear faster — the algorithm stops promoting them once engagement drops, and some creators delete them.
Ready in 3 simple steps
Copy the Shorts link
In the YouTube app, tap Share under the Short, then Copy Link. In a browser, just copy the URL — it typically looks like youtube.com/shorts/[id].
Paste it above
Drop the link into the field. Both youtube.com/shorts/ and regular youtu.be links work fine.
Download the MP4
The file comes back as a 1080p vertical MP4, ready for your camera roll, gallery, or video editor.
When saving a Short makes sense
Your own Short, saved locally
YouTube does not always make it simple to save a clean local copy of your own Shorts. Use this to grab a local backup of Shorts you posted, before editing or if you plan to repost them.
Study references
Quick technique demos, recipe steps, language pronunciation — Shorts used for learning are easier to review offline without relying on YouTube search history.
Small file size, big convenience
A 60-second Short typically comes out under 20MB as MP4. You can store dozens of them without noticeably denting your phone storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution are downloaded Shorts?
+
1080×1920 — standard vertical HD. Plays correctly on phones without rotation issues.
Can I get just the audio from a Short?
+
Yes. Paste the same Shorts URL into our youtube-shorts-to-mp3 page for an audio-only MP3 instead.
Why can't I download this particular Short?
+
The Short might be private, deleted, or restricted to certain regions. If you can watch it while logged into YouTube but can't download it, the video may have content restrictions applied by the creator.
Will the video play correctly on my phone?
+
Yes. The output is a standard MP4 in 9:16 vertical format. It opens in your camera roll, Gallery app, or VLC without any rotation fix needed.
Can I re-upload this Short to another platform?
+
Only if the content is yours or you have explicit permission from the creator. Don't re-upload other people's Shorts to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or anywhere else without their consent.
Does it work on Android and iPhone?
+
Yes to both. On Android, the file downloads directly to your Downloads folder. On iPhone, iOS will prompt you to save to the Files app.
Link format tip
Shorts URLs and regular YouTube URLs both work here. If someone sent you a Shorts link via WhatsApp or Instagram DM, paste it directly — no reformatting needed. Short links like youtu.be/abc123 also work.
