YouTube Shorts are vertical videos under the /shorts/ path. Paste a Shorts URL and GrablyMedia will analyze it like any other public YouTube video link.
Shorts availability follows the same rules as long-form YouTube content: public, reachable, and rights-compliant.
How it works
01
Use youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID from the address bar or share sheet.
02
Vertical 9:16 renditions appear when YouTube exposes them to the resolver.
03
Preview when possible, then download the listed format.
Shorts pages use a different front-end shell but often share the same underlying video IDs. GrablyMedia maps Shorts URLs to the correct analyzer pipeline.
If a Short is age-restricted or members-only, analysis will fail with an explanatory error.
FAQ
