Save Shorts in their original vertical format
YouTube Shorts are short vertical videos, and VidRip keeps them that way. Paste a link that looks like youtube.com/shorts/… and you get a list of every quality YouTube offers for that Short, from low data-saving versions up to full HD. Files download as MP4, so they play in your phone's gallery, video editors like CapCut and on any computer. You can also grab just the sound as an MP3 — handy for saving a trending audio clip.
Saving Shorts to iPhone Camera Roll or Android Gallery
On iPhone, the download goes to the Files app — open it, tap the video, then tap Share and choose Save Video to move it into Photos. On Android, the MP4 saves to your Downloads folder and appears in your Gallery or Google Photos automatically.
More YouTube tools
For regular long-form videos, use the YouTube to MP4 downloader with resolutions up to 4K. Want only the audio of a full video? Use the YouTube to MP3 converter. Short-form clips from other apps work too — see the TikTok and Instagram Reels downloaders.
