Save YouTube Shorts as a real video file

A Short is a normal YouTube upload in a vertical frame, which means it can be saved at full quality rather than captured off the screen. Paste a youtube.com/shorts/… link and the vertical video comes back as one MP4 with the audio already merged in, up to 1080p. It plays offline, drops straight into an editor, and no YouTube account is involved.

How to download online videos from YouTube Shorts?

  1. Copy the Short link — tap Share → Copy link under the Short, or copy the youtube.com/shorts/… address.
  2. Paste it above — drop it into the box, or hit Paste & Analyze to start from the clipboard.
  3. Save the MP4 — pick a resolution up to 1080p — or the audio-only track — and download.

Yes, a standard watch link works on this page as well. The dedicated YouTube video downloader covers long-form videos and live replays in more detail.

Is it free?
