Hoe download je YouTube Shorts
Drie stappen, zonder software en zonder account. Werkt op telefoon en desktop.
Kopieer de Shorts-link
Tik in de YouTube-app op Delen onder de Short en kies Link kopiëren. Op de computer kopieer je de URL uit de adresbalk terwijl de Short speelt.
Plak hem in het vak hierboven
Plak de link in het veld op deze pagina en klik op Downloaden. ShortsDL leest de Short en toont de thumbnail, titel en beste beschikbare kwaliteit.
Kies MP4 of MP3
Klik op MP4 downloaden voor de video in de hoogste kwaliteit die YouTube aanbiedt, of op MP3 downloaden voor alleen de audio. Het bestand wordt in je browser gemaakt en op je apparaat opgeslagen.
Why Choose ShortsDL
A YouTube Shorts downloader that actually returns HD video with sound.
Real HD, up to 1080p
Most free tools quietly hand you a 360p file. ShortsDL grabs the highest quality video stream YouTube publishes for the Short and pairs it with the full-quality audio track.
Video and audio, joined properly
The two streams are merged in your browser with a stream copy, so there is no re-encoding, no quality loss and no silent video.
No watermark, ever
The file you get is the original YouTube MP4. Nothing is overlaid, stamped, cropped or branded on top of the creator's video.
MP3 audio in one click
Extract the soundtrack of any Short as a 192 kbps MP3 without hunting for a separate converter site.
Nothing is stored on our servers
Your Short is assembled on your own device. We never keep a copy of the video, the audio or the links you paste.
Free, unlimited, no login
No account, no subscription, no daily cap and no app to install. Paste a link and download as often as you like.

Built for Shorts
What makes ShortsDL different from a generic video downloader
Vertical-first
Shorts are short and vertical, so the whole flow is tuned for them: one tap to the best quality, no resolution menu to wade through, and merging that finishes in seconds.
Fast by design
The converter loads once in the background while you look at the result card, then stays ready. Later downloads skip straight to fetching the streams.
Private by design
Merging and MP3 conversion run entirely in your browser with WebAssembly. The finished file never travels back to us.
YouTube Shorts Downloader: Save Shorts in HD, Free
ShortsDL turns any public YouTube Short into a file you can keep. Paste the link, press Download, and the clip is saved to your phone or computer as a clean MP4 — no app to install, no account, no watermark stamped over the video.
YouTube stores the picture and the sound of a Short as two separate streams. ShortsDL fetches both and joins them back together inside your browser, so you get a single 1080p file with audio instead of the silent video most downloaders hand you. The streams are copied, never re-encoded, so nothing is lost along the way.
Because the joining happens on your own device, the Short is never stored on our servers. We resolve the link, pass the streams through, and the finished file is assembled locally and handed straight to your browser's downloads.
Need only the audio? Download MP3 pulls the soundtrack out of the Short and encodes it at 192 kbps — handy for saving a song, a sound effect, or a spoken clip. ShortsDL works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.
