Frequently asked questions
What's the difference with the classic YouTube downloader?
This page is built for Shorts: short videos in vertical 9:16 format. For a classic YouTube video in 16:9 landscape HD, use our dedicated YouTube downloader instead.
Does the Short have a watermark once downloaded?
No. The MP4 you get is clean, no watermark or username. You can repost it to Reels or TikTok with no visible mark on it.
Is the vertical format kept?
Yes, the file stays in 9:16, exactly like the original Short. It's already the right ratio for Reels, TikTok or another Short.
Can I edit it right after?
Yes. Open the MP4 in Montaj: automatic subtitles, silence removal and quick cuts. Everything runs on your device, nothing goes to the cloud.
