Nothing about a Short needs different handling.
There is no separate Shorts downloader
A Short is an ordinary YouTube upload that the app presents in a vertical feed. It has the same video id, the same streams and the same resolutions as anything else on the site, so there is no second tool and no second method — the /shorts/ address resolves here like any other.
All four of these point at the same video and all four work:
- youtube.com/shorts/VIDEOID
- youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID
- youtu.be/VIDEOID
- m.youtube.com/shorts/VIDEOID
The resolution number means the short side
A Short is vertical, so a row labelled 1080p is 1080 wide and 1920 tall. yt-dlp reports the long side as the height, which is why an early version of this site offered "1080p" and handed back an 854-pixel-wide file — the label now comes from the short side and the target from the stream’s own height.
