Choose the right format and quality
MP4 is the best choice for video. It plays on every phone, tablet, computer and smart TV. Zavvid offers 1080p Full HD, 720p HD and 360p, so you can choose a sharp picture or a smaller file.
For music, podcasts and lectures, download just the audio. MP3 works with every player and car stereo. M4A keeps YouTube's original AAC audio without re-encoding, so it's the fastest to save and sounds exactly like the source.
- 1080p (Full HD): best for large screens and TVs, roughly 20–25 MB per minute.
- 720p (HD): sharp on phones and laptops, roughly 8–12 MB per minute.
- 360p: the smallest video files, good for slow connections.
- MP3: a constant 192 kbps that plays everywhere, about 1.4 MB per minute.
- M4A: YouTube's original AAC audio, saved without re-encoding.
Works on iPhone, Android and PC
Zavvid runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to install. On iPhone and iPad, downloads are saved to the Files app under Downloads. On Android they appear in your browser's downloads.
Install Zavvid from your browser's menu and it joins the Android share sheet, so a video can be sent to it straight from the YouTube app. iPhone doesn't let a website join the share sheet, so there tap Share, then Copy link, open Zavvid and paste it: the lookup starts on its own.
On Windows, macOS and Linux, files go to your usual Downloads folder.
Save YouTube Shorts to your phone
Paste a Shorts link and Zavvid saves it as an MP4 in its original vertical 9:16 format, in up to 1080p, with no watermark added.
On iPhone and iPad, open Files → Downloads, tap the video, then tap Share → Save Video to add it to Photos. On Android, the video appears in your gallery automatically.
Free, fast and safe
Zavvid is free, with no premium plan. The only limits are fair-use ones that keep it fast for everyone. There are no ads or pop-ups to click through and no accounts, so there's nothing to sign up for and no download history. Files are streamed straight to your device and aren't stored on our servers.
Downloads are fast too. Zavvid fetches the video and audio at the same time and joins them as they arrive, so most videos are ready in seconds.

Private, age-restricted, members-only and region-locked videos can't be downloaded, and neither can live streams until they end. YouTube also occasionally blocks downloads for a short while. Try a lower quality or try again in a few minutes.
