Frequently asked questions
Is a Short different from a normal video?
Under the hood it's the same — only the URL and vertical format differ, so this handles both.
Why does my Short top out at 1080p?
Shorts are usually filmed on phones; the tool offers the highest resolution the creator actually uploaded.
Is it legal to download YouTube videos?
Downloading your own uploads, public-domain or Creative-Commons material, or content you have permission to use is generally fine. Re-posting someone else's YouTube content can breach copyright and YouTube's Terms of Service — keep it to personal, fair-use or rights-holder use.
