Save YouTube Shorts in their original vertical quality — clean, watermark-free, and ready to keep or study.
Shorts move fast, and the good ones disappear into the feed just as quickly. The YT Premium YouTube Shorts Downloader lets you save any public Short in its native 9:16 vertical format so you can rewatch it offline, reference a trend, or archive your own clips. No watermark gets stamped on, no app is needed, and there is no login wall — just paste the Shorts link and download.

Why use this tool
Frequently asked questions
This tool is tuned specifically for the vertical 9:16 Shorts format. It reliably captures the full portrait frame and native audio, whereas the standard downloader is optimized for landscape videos. For Shorts, this is the better pick.
On desktop, copy it from your browser’s address bar while the Short is open. On mobile, tap Share inside the Short and choose Copy Link. The URL will look like youtube.com/shorts/… or a youtu.be/… short link.
No. We pull the original file straight from YouTube, so nothing is added — no watermark, no logo, no banner. You get a clean copy of the Short exactly as it was uploaded.
Shorts are usually available in 720p and 1080p. The tool grabs the highest resolution available for that specific Short, which is normally Full HD 1080×1920.
You can, if it is public — but respect the creator. Save Shorts for personal reference, not to re-upload or repurpose as your own. Reposting someone else’s content without permission can breach copyright and platform rules.
