How to download YouTube Shorts

Copy the link in the app (Share → Copy link) or from the browser's address bar, paste it into the field at the top of the page and pick a quality — the MP4 or MP3 file is saved to Downloads. No app or sign-up needed.

  1. 1

    Copy the Shorts link

    In the YouTube app, tap “Share” under the clip → “Copy link”. On the website, copy the address from the address bar — youtube.com/shorts/…

  2. 2

    Paste the link into Skachok

    Paste it into the field on this page and click “Find”. In a couple of seconds you’ll see a preview and the list of qualities — 360p, 720p, 1080p, whatever the clip has.

  3. 3

    Download the Short

    Click “Download” next to the quality you want. YouTube keeps the picture and the sound apart, so the server first joins them into one MP4 — for a short clip that takes a few seconds. For the sound alone, pick MP3 in the “Audio” block on paid plans.

Download YouTube Shorts in MP4 without a watermark

Shorts have no download button of their own, and a screen recording keeps the player controls in the frame and compresses the picture. Skachok fetches a Short by its link and returns it as an MP4 file — a vertical 1080×1920 frame with no logos: YouTube stamps none onto the clip, and we add nothing. Any link to the clip works — youtube.com/shorts/…, youtube.com/watch?v=…, youtu.be/… or the mobile m.youtube.com — and service tails like ?feature=share are dropped automatically. It all runs in the browser on your phone or computer, with no software and no sign-up. Use it to keep your own clip before reposting it to TikTok, Reels or VK Clips, to build a collection to watch offline, or to send a Short as a file in a messenger.

Vertical video is rated by its shorter side, so a 1080×1920 Short is listed as 1080p — the maximum for clips shot on a phone. Without an account Skachok gives you Shorts up to 720p for free, 3 a day; a free account raises that to 5 a day plus 2 days of the Pro plan. YouTube keeps video and sound apart, and the server joins them into one MP4; for short clips that takes seconds. 1080p is noticeably heavier than 720p, so it unlocks on the Lite plan from $1.99 a month, 1440p on Pro and 4K on Max; the higher resolutions turn up on Shorts uploaded from a computer.

If you only need the music or the voice, pick MP3 in the “Audio” block: the track is extracted at 192 kbps, audio is available from the Lite plan. On a phone open skachok.com in Safari or Chrome rather than an app’s built-in browser: on Android the file lands in the Download folder, on iPhone in Files → Downloads, from where you can move it to Photos. To save several Shorts at once, paste the links one per line and press “Download all videos” — up to 3 links per batch for free. If a clip isn’t found, check that the link leads to the Short itself (with /shorts/, watch?v= or youtu.be/ in it) and that the clip isn’t private: unlisted Shorts download, private ones don’t, and 18+ clips that YouTube shows only after sign-in may fail. Skachok does not store files on its server.

FAQ

How do I download a YouTube Short to my phone?

Copy the link with the “Share” button in the YouTube app, open skachok.com in Chrome or Safari, paste it, click “Find”, then “Download”. On Android the clip lands in the Download folder and the gallery; on iPhone it goes to Files → Downloads, and “Share” → “Save Video” moves it to Photos. Don’t use the built-in browser of the YouTube app or a messenger: it often won’t let you save the file, so open the site in Safari or Chrome itself.

Which Shorts links work?

Any address of a specific clip: youtube.com/shorts/…, youtube.com/watch?v=… (the same Short in the regular player), the short youtu.be/… and the mobile m.youtube.com/shorts/…. The ?feature=share and &si=… tails the “Share” button adds can stay — the service drops them on its own. The file has no watermark: YouTube does not stamp one into the clip, and we add nothing.

Why is a vertical 1080×1920 clip called 1080p and not 1920p?

Resolution is counted by the shorter side of the frame. Horizontal Full HD is 1080 pixels tall, a vertical Short is 1080 pixels wide — the same quality either way. Most Shorts are shot on a phone, and 1080p is their ceiling. The exception is clips uploaded from a computer: some of them have 1440p or 2160p, and then those options appear in the list too.

Why is 720p free while 1080p needs a plan?

YouTube serves the picture and the sound separately, and the Skachok server joins them into one MP4 — 720p included. The difference is size: a 1080p file is usually about three times heavier than 720p, and 4K several times heavier again. So 1080p is available from the Lite plan ($1.99/mo), 1440p from Pro and 4K on Max. A new account gets 2 days of Pro, so you can try 1080p for free.

How do I download the music from a Short as MP3?

After the search, pick MP3 in the “Audio” block — the service extracts the audio track at 192 kbps. Audio is available on paid plans: MP3 and M4A from Lite, OGG from Pro, FLAC on Max. Music and voice in a Short are recorded as one track, so they can’t be separated when you download.

Can I download several Shorts at once?

Yes. Paste the links one per line: every clip gets its own card, and the “Download all videos” button starts them all at once in the quality you picked. Up to 3 links per batch for free, 5 on Lite, 10 on Pro, 50 on Max.

Is the service free?

Yes. The free plan gives you up to 720p, 3 downloads a day without an account and 5 with one. Paid plans unlock 1080p, 2K, 4K, more downloads and full speed.

Do I need an account?

Not for basic downloads. Signing up with your email takes 20 seconds and gives you 2 days of the Pro plan as a gift, no card needed.

What is the maximum quality?

Up to 4K (2160p) on Max, 2K on Pro, 1080p on Lite and 720p for free. It depends on the source video.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes: iPhone, Android and tablets. The file goes to Downloads; on iPhone you can move it to Photos via Share → Save Video.
