Keep the original vertical framing of YouTube Shorts

Shorts are designed for portrait screens, but their actual dimensions and frame rates depend on each creator's upload and the formats YouTube publishes. A common Full HD portrait frame is 1080 by 1920 pixels with a 9:16 aspect ratio. AnyVideoDown reads the available source tracks and offers real resolutions rather than cropping a landscape video or stretching a lower-resolution file. The selected output retains the source's encoded picture, frame rate, and audio when the available streams can be muxed without re-encoding.

Some Shorts are delivered as separate adaptive video and audio representations, so the service may need to combine those tracks into one downloadable MP4 or WebM. The final container and codecs determine playback support; H.264/AAC MP4 is widely recognized on phones, while VP9 or AV1 support varies. No watermark is added by this workflow, but an existing watermark embedded in the creator's video remains part of the source. Check the format list for portrait resolution and allow larger 1080p files time to transfer over mobile connections.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution is a Full HD vertical Short?

A common Full HD portrait frame is 1080 × 1920 pixels, equivalent to a 9:16 aspect ratio. The actual available resolution depends on the uploaded video and source formats.

Will the downloader crop or rotate a landscape video into a Short?

No. It uses formats published for the source and does not create a portrait crop or upscale a landscape frame. The resulting orientation follows the source stream.

Can I download a Short with its original audio?

When audio is available, the selected audio and video representations can be combined into one file. Codec availability and compatibility depend on the source and chosen container.

Does downloading remove an existing watermark?

No watermark is added by the download process, but any logo or watermark already encoded into the original Short remains in the downloaded picture.
