YouTube Shorts are vertical videos up to three minutes long — and they're everywhere. Here's how to download YouTube Shorts as HD MP4 files you can keep.
How to download a YouTube Short
- Open the Short and tap Share → Copy link. The link looks like youtube.com/shorts/…

- Paste the link and tap Download.
- Tap Download HD MP4.
Save Shorts to your camera roll

Repurposing your own Shorts
