How to download YouTube Shorts

Open the Short and copy its link
Find the Short you want in the YouTube app or your browser. Tap the Share arrow on the right side of the Short, then choose “Copy link”. On a computer, copy the address from the browser bar.

Download your Short
Tap download and the file saves to your device with no watermark added. You can now watch it offline or share it wherever you like.
