How to Download YouTube Shorts in HD

3 min read • Updated • SaveAnyVideo Team

Save a Short as a vertical MP4 or grab just its audio.

Copy the Short's link

  1. In the YouTube app, tap Share on the Short, then Copy link.
  2. The link looks like youtube.com/shorts/ followed by an ID.

Download

  1. Paste it into the YouTube Shorts downloader.
  2. Pick the top resolution for a sharp vertical video, or MP3 for audio.

TipShorts are vertical, so “720p” here means 720 pixels wide and 1280 tall.
