Save YouTube Shorts without watermark
Shorts are built to live inside the endless feed, YouTube offers no download button for other people's Shorts, and Premium's offline mode keeps files locked in the app. This tool saves any public Short as a normal vertical MP4 you own: no watermark, no app branding, original quality up to 1080p.
How to download a Short
- Tap Share → Copy link on the Short (or copy the youtube.com/shorts/… URL from your browser).
- Paste it in the box above and press Download.
- Pick the MP4 quality. The file saves automatically with a live progress bar.
Want just the sound of a Short, a track, a quote, a beat? Paste the same link into the MP3 converter instead and you get a small, clean audio file in one step.
Only after the sound? The full walkthrough is in our guide: how to convert YouTube Shorts to MP3.
Shorts-specific details this tool gets right
- Vertical format preserved. The 9:16 frame stays exactly as uploaded; nothing is cropped, padded or squashed.
- Audio merged in. Shorts audio is a separate stream on YouTube's side; we merge it server-side so the file always has sound.
- Plays everywhere, H. 264 MP4 output drops into galleries, editors and messaging apps on any device.
On your phone
On iPhone, use Safari, the Short lands in Files → Downloads, and "Share → Save Video" moves it into Photos. On Android, the MP4 appears in Downloads and usually straight in your gallery. The full device-by-device walkthrough (with fixes for the usual snags) is in our guide on how to download YouTube Shorts.
A note on reposting
Saving a Short for offline viewing is one thing; re-uploading someone else's Short as your own is copyright infringement and earns channels strikes. Use YouTube's remix tools or get permission if you want to feature someone's work. Saving your own Shorts is the best way to keep master copies, details in the legality guide.
