  2. Open this page in your phone's browser and paste the link into the box.

What you get

The MP3 is 192 kbps, which suits speech and most music. A 60-second Short makes a file of about 1.5 MB, so it is easy to keep on your phone or send to someone. The quality can't be better than the sound YouTube has for that Short.

Original sound or a song from the library?

Many Shorts use a song added from YouTube's music library. The MP3 holds whatever you hear in the Short, including any talking over the music, so it isn't a clean copy of the song. If you need the music for a project, license it from its source. Save only audio you created or have permission to use.
