What is the YouTube Shorts Downloader?
MP3stack is the easiest way to save YouTube Shorts videos in MP4 or extract clear MP3 audio. Unlike many online tools, it is fast, free, and does not require registration. No watermark is shown when the source provides a clean stream.
YouTube Shorts are vertical, under-60s clips competing with TikTok and Instagram Reels. With MP3stack, you can download them for offline playback, remix, or study.
For longer videos, use our YouTube MP4 Downloader or YouTube MP3 Converter.
How to use
- Copy the Shorts link (Share → Copy link) or type keywords into the search bar.
- Choose MP4 (video) or MP3 (audio), then click Search.
- Open Preview to confirm the correct clip.
- Pick quality — MP3 64–320 kbps or MP4 up to HD (720p/1080p).
- Click Download to save the file.
On mobile data, use 360p–480p or 128–192 kbps for faster, smaller downloads.
What you can convert
- YouTube Shorts → MP4/MP3 — quick, vertical videos.
- YouTube long-form → see our YouTube Downloader.
