How to Download Your YouTube Shorts from YouTube Studio\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a content creator, and you regularly post on YouTube, then you are already familiar with the YouTube Studio<\/a>. Through it, you can have full control over your online presence on YouTube, but you can also use it to save your own videos and shorts. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn\u2019t have a separate save option, and that means if you delete a video or a short from your YouTube channel, you might lose it forever. To prevent that, download the short to your PC or phone and save it. Here\u2019s how:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to YouTube Studio. You can do it by clicking on your YouTube profile image, or from the direct link<\/a>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select Content<\/span> from the left column.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. The next page will display all the content you uploaded to YouTube. Find the video or a short you want to download. You can also use the search bar at the top to find the content on your channel. If you used #shorts to label your short video, it\u2019ll be even easier to find.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Place your cursor over the video you want to download and click on the three-dots<\/span> menu.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Select Download<\/span> from the drop-down menu.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

        YouTube will start downloading your short video for free.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you\u2019re using a mobile phone or a tablet, you\u2019ll need to download a YouTube Studio app. Here\u2019s how you can download your YouTube Shorts with the mobile app:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Open the YouTube Studio app and select Content<\/span> at the bottom of the screen.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Find a video you want to download and tap the three dots<\/span> next to it.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Tap Save to Device<\/span> to start the download.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

              YouTube will download your short video on your mobile device or tablet. These steps are the same for Android and iOS devices.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              But what if you want to save YouTube Shorts that are not yours? YouTube Studio is of no help then.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              How to Download YouTube Shorts Videos to Windows and Mac PC\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              If you want to download YouTube Shorts from your favorite content creators, on your PC, you\u2019ll have to use third-party online tools. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn\u2019t give us the option to download videos directly. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll need external help to do it. There are various YouTube downloading apps and websites out there that work both on Windows and Apple computers. Some will help you save your favorite shorts for free, while others might ask for a small fee.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              It\u2019s essential to choose a good and trusted YouTube downloader that\u2019ll not only meet your needs but also be malware free. Be careful what you\u2019re using so you don\u2019t infect your PC. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Using the <\/span>Shortnoob<\/span><\/a> YouTube Website Downloader\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

              One of the most trusted websites for downloading YouTube videos and shorts is Shortnoob. Here\u2019s how you can use it:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Go to the Shortsnoob website<\/a>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. You\u2019ll have to open YouTube in a separate browser tab and access the short you want to download then click on the Share<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                \n
                \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. When a pop-up link window shows up, select the Copy<\/span> button. This will copy the current Shorts video link.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Now go back to the Shortsnoob tab and paste the URL into the search bar. Press the Search<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                    \n
                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Select the video quality in which you want to download the short and click the Download<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                      \n
                      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                      And that\u2019s it! The Shortsnoob website will automatically download the selected short. You can now find the video in your download folder, and double-click it to play it from your PC. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      There are similar websites that\u2019ll allow you to download YouTube Shorts and Videos to your PC or mobile device through a web browser. Some of the most popular ones aside from Shortnoob are 8Downloader<\/a> and Savetube<\/a>. No matter which one you use you can\u2019t choose between video formats. The video you download will be saved in .mp4 format.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Using the <\/span>4K Video Downloader<\/span><\/a> App\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                      If you\u2019re downloading YouTube videos and shorts regularly and you want them in high-quality, perhaps you\u2019ll want to install a PC app that\u2019ll help you do it faster and without much hassle. 4K Video Downloader is a good choice and it works on macOS, Windows, and Linux OS. It\u2019s also designed to download TikTok videos<\/a> or Instagram Reels. 4K Video Downloader has more download quality options than simple online tools, and it\u2019ll allow you to convert YouTube videos in mp3 format and save them as audio-only.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                      \n
                      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                      Once you install the 4K Video Downloader, the steps to download the YouTube shorts are the same as using the website. Copy the short\u2019s URL into the software, and hit the download button after selecting the video quality.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      You should know that 4k Video Downloader is not a free app, although you can try it out with a free trial period of 14 days. There are different license options you can purchase for different prices. The choice of a license will affect its duration (one year or lifetime), how many videos you can download, the option to simultaneously download multiple videos, playlist download, subtitle download, and so on.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                              1. If prompted, allow this app access to your phone\u2019s storage.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                                \n

                                How to Download YouTube Shorts Videos on iOS\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                Although you might find plenty of YouTube downloader apps on the App Store, you\u2019ll most likely receive an error if you try using them. Also, the YouTube downloader online tools will not work on an iPhone or iPad. The best workaround is to use a YouTube downloader website in order to download Shorts on your PC and then transfer the files to your iPhone.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                                \n

                                If this is too time-consuming for you, consider becoming a premium YouTube member<\/a>. Premium membership allows downloads directly from YouTube to any device. If you don\u2019t want to commit to paying just to download one or two videos, you can always start the YouTube Premium trial. If you have never used it before, the trial period lasts for one whole month. Just make sure to cancel your subscription before they charge you for the next billing cycle.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                By downloading YouTube Shorts videos on your mobile device or computer, you can easily access the content at any time! The process is straightforward and simple, and it even supports quick downloads if you want to capture a moment with minimum fuss.
