Frequently asked questions
Why do Shorts show 1080p instead of 1920p?
We name vertical videos by their shorter side, like YouTube does. A 1080×1920 Short is listed as 1080p.
Can I save only the sound of a Short?
Yes, open the Audio tab and pick MP3 or M4A.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free and no sign-up is needed.
Where are downloaded YouTube videos saved?
In your browser’s Downloads folder. On iPhone, open the Files app → Downloads. On Android, check the Downloads or Gallery app.
