Download YouTube videos & Shorts

Save public YouTube videos and Shorts as MP4, pull the audio as MP3, or grab the cover thumbnail — all from a link, with no software to install and no sign-up. Works on phones, tablets, and computers.

How to download

  1. 1

    On YouTube, open the video or Short, tap Share, and copy the link.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Choose your file

    Save the video (MP4), the audio (MP3), or the cover image.

Download YouTube videos in multiple formats

MP4 video is the most popular choice — it plays on all devices and keeps the quality of the source. ClipsSaver saves the video at the quality YouTube makes available for it and does not change or upscale the source. MP3 audio extracts the sound from any video — perfect for music, podcasts, interviews, lectures, and audiobooks, in small files ideal for offline listening.

YouTube downloads at source quality

ClipsSaver saves each video at the quality YouTube provides for it, without re-encoding or upscaling — higher-resolution sources stay sharp for large screens, editing, or archiving. When you want a smaller file, save the audio only as MP3.

Download YouTube Shorts

Open any Short, copy the share link, paste it above, and download in the original 9:16 vertical format.
