YouTube Shorts downloader
Paste a public Shorts link below to save it as an MP4 — or read the four steps first.
The four steps
Open the Short
Play the Short you want in the YouTube app or on youtube.com in your browser.
Copy its link
Tap Share → Copy link. A youtube.com/shorts/... or youtu.be/... URL both work fine.
Paste it into SnapGrab
Drop the link in the box above and press Download. A preview with the available qualities appears within seconds.
Save the MP4
Choose your resolution and download. iPhone: Files → Downloads → share icon → Save Video to move it into Photos.
Saving Shorts on phone and desktop
Android: the MP4 lands in Internal storage → Download and the Gallery picks it up automatically.
iPhone: open Files → Downloads, tap the clip, then share icon → Save Video to move it into Photos.
Windows / Mac: the file goes to your browser's Downloads folder and plays in any media player.
Which quality should you pick?
Shorts are filmed vertically, so 1080x1920 is the highest most clips offer. Choose the top option for re-editing or archiving, and a smaller one when you just want to share it quickly on a slow connection.
If nothing loads
Private or unlisted: only public Shorts can be fetched.
Age-restricted: YouTube blocks these from being read.
Wrong link: use the Share → Copy link button rather than typing the URL by hand.

FAQ
How do I download a YouTube Short?
Open the Short, tap Share and then Copy link, paste that link into the box above and press Download. Pick the quality you want and the MP4 saves straight to your device.
Is there a watermark on the downloaded Short?
No overlay is added by SnapGrab. If the creator burned a TikTok or editing-app watermark into the clip itself, that stays part of the video.
Can I save just the audio from a Short?
When the source provides a separate audio track, an audio option appears next to the video buttons so you can grab the sound only.
Do I need an app or an account?
Neither. It runs in any mobile or desktop browser, with no signup and no extension to install.
Which Shorts can be downloaded?
Public Shorts only. Private, age-restricted or region-blocked clips cannot be fetched.
