YouTube Shorts are quick to watch but there's no built-in download button. Whether you want to watch offline, save your own Short, or grab the audio, here's the simplest way to download YouTube Shorts in 2026.
Download a Short in 3 steps
- Open the Short and tap Share → Copy link.
- Paste it into our YouTube Shorts downloader.
- Choose HD video or MP3 audio — the file saves to your device.
Video or MP3?
Pick MP4 video to keep the full clip, or MP3 if you only want the sound — handy for music, voiceovers or sound effects. You can choose the resolution up to the highest the Short was uploaded in.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. It runs in Safari or Chrome with no app, and the file saves to Files or Photos. The same link works on Android and desktop too.
