How to download YouTube Shorts

Follow these steps to download a public Shorts or YouTube video when a direct MP4 stream is available.

Step 1

Copy the YouTube Shorts or video link

Open the Shorts or video you want to save, tap Share, and copy the link. This works best for public videos with a standard watch or /shorts/ URL.

Step 2

Paste the link into the downloader

Paste the URL into the tool. We support youtube.com/shorts/… and youtube.com/watch?v=… links (plus youtu.be short links).

Step 3

Resolve the best available MP4

Click “Find video”. We look for a progressive MP4 stream when YouTube exposes one for that playback.

Step 4

Download the file

Click “Download” to save through your browser. If the download doesn’t start, click “Find video” again for a fresh URL and retry, and check browser download settings.
