A Shorts downloader that keeps the original

YouTube Shorts are ordinary YouTube videos with a vertical frame and a different player, so they can be saved exactly like any other video. The downloader reads the /shorts/ link, finds the video behind it, and offers every quality it was uploaded in – most Shorts are 1080 × 1920, some are 720p. Each option shows its size before you choose, and a 40-second Short at full quality is usually 5 to 15 MB.

Where YouTube has the Short in H.264, the picture is copied into the MP4 without re-encoding, so what you save is what YouTube serves, pixel for pixel.

What you can do with a saved Short

  • Keep it before it disappears from your feed, or before the creator deletes it.
  • Send it on Telegram without a link that the other person has to open in YouTube.
  • Take the sound – a voice line, a beat, a quote – as an audio file with Audio.
  • Find the song playing in it and get the full track. See find a song from a video.
  • Make it round. Telegram's circular video messages come from the video note converter.

Shorts, Reels and TikToks

The same kind of vertical clip lives on three platforms. For Instagram, use the Reels downloader. For TikTok, the TikTok downloader takes the version without the watermark whenever TikTok serves one. All three send the clip to the bot the same way: share it, and it comes back as a file.

Faster in Telegram

On a phone the quickest path is the one YouTube already has: Share → Telegram → @MoeinimyDL_bot. There is no link to copy and no browser tab to open, and the Short is in your chat a few seconds later. Shorts someone else has already saved come back almost instantly, because the bot reuses the copy Telegram already holds.

Frequently asked questions

How do I copy a YouTube Shorts link?

On a phone, open the Short, tap the Share arrow and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the address from the browser – it looks like youtube.com/shorts/ followed by eleven characters. Both work.

Will the video still be vertical?

Yes. The Short is saved exactly as it was uploaded, in its vertical 9:16 frame, so it plays full-screen on a phone.

Is there a watermark on the downloaded Short?

No. YouTube does not stamp Shorts files, and nothing is added. You get the same video YouTube streams.

Can I get the music from a Short?

Two ways. Audio gives you the Short's own sound. If you want the full song that plays in it, use Identify the music under the Short in the bot, or the find a song from a video page – it identifies the track and sends the complete song.

Can I turn a Short into a Telegram round video?

Yes. Download the Short in the bot, then send it back and choose Video note. The video note converter crops it to a circle and keeps up to 60 seconds.

Why does a Short fail to download?

The same things that stop any YouTube video – it was deleted or made private, it is age-restricted, or the uploader limited it to members. The bot tells you which one it ran into.
