VidiSave YouTube Shorts Downloader is a free tool for saving YouTube Shorts to your device as vertical HD MP4 videos. YouTube Shorts is the platform's short-form video format — vertical clips of up to 60 seconds that play in a TikTok-style feed. Since their introduction, Shorts have become one of YouTube's fastest-growing content categories, hosting billions of videos across every niche.
YouTube Shorts cannot be downloaded natively from the platform — there is no built-in save button. VidiSave fills this gap by letting you paste any Shorts URL and save the vertical video directly to your phone, tablet, or computer in full HD quality, without any watermark or branding added.
VidiSave works with all YouTube Shorts URLs: the standard /shorts/ format (youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID), links shared from the YouTube app, and even the standard watch URL (youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID) when the video is a Short. The downloader automatically detects the Shorts format and preserves the correct 9:16 vertical aspect ratio.
Downloaded YouTube Shorts maintain the vertical 9:16 orientation that makes them perfect for mobile viewing, Instagram Reels repurposing, TikTok-style editing projects, or WhatsApp Status sharing. The MP4 file format ensures compatibility with all video apps, editors, and devices.
