YouTube Shorts downloader without the crop.
Save Shorts as portrait MP4 files at their full vertical resolution — the framing you saw is the framing you get.
Built for vertical video
9:16 stays 9:16
No letterboxing, no centre-crop into landscape. The preview shows the true shape before you download.
Full vertical resolution
Shorts are usually 1080 × 1920. You get that, not a downscaled preview stream.
Audio on its own
Want just the sound from a Short? Switch to the Audio tab and take it as MP3.
Fast on mobile
Shorts are small files, so most saves finish before you've put the phone down.
