ClipSave downloads YouTube Shorts as regular MP4 files: paste a Shorts link into the field above and the vertical clip saves to your device in up to 1080p. Free, no signup, no software.
How to download a YouTube Short
- Open the Short in the YouTube app or browser.
- Tap "Share" → "Copy Link". The link looks like youtube.com/shorts/…
- Paste it into ClipSave and press "Download" — the clip saves as MP4.
Short youtu.be links and browser address bar URLs work too.
What quality do Shorts download in
The maximum available for the clip — for most Shorts that's 1080p (vertical 9:16). The file comes as MP4 (H.264) with sound and opens on any device and in any video editor.
Download Shorts on your phone
On Android any browser works: paste the link, download — the file is in your downloads. On iPhone open clipsave.pro in Safari; the downloaded file lands in Files → Downloads. The second option for any phone is the Telegram bot @vfixbot: forward it the link and the Short arrives in the chat as a ready video.
Shorts for editing
Downloaded Shorts are handy as references or source material: the vertical MP4 opens in CapCut, Premiere and DaVinci. If you only need a fragment, the @vfixbot bot trims the clip on a timeline right inside Telegram — no separate editor. It can also convert a Short into a GIF.
What won't download
- Age-restricted Shorts — they don't always download.
- Live streams — published videos only.
Regular horizontal YouTube videos download exactly the same way — details on the YouTube video downloader page.
