FAQ

Questions about downloading from YouTube Shorts

What quality are YouTube Shorts saved in?

Up to 1080p, depending on what the creator uploaded. The YouTube Shorts downloader lists the qualities YouTube has for the Short, such as 1080p, 720p and smaller sizes, and saves your choice as an MP4. The website doesn’t offer 1440p or 4K for YouTube, Shorts included.

Can I save Shorts on my phone?

Yes. On an Android phone, get the SaveVideo app, which is listed on Google Play as WebView Studio, then share the Short to SaveVideo from YouTube’s Share menu. On iPhone, open SaveVideo.net in Safari, paste the Short’s link and save it. Neither way needs an account, and the app has no hourly limit.

Can I download only the music from a Short?

Yes. Paste the Short’s link, open the Audio only tab and pick MP3, and you get the sound without the picture. The YouTube Shorts downloader saves one MP3 per Short. On the website, each MP3 counts as one of your 3 free YouTube downloads per hour.
