How to batch download YouTube Shorts on iPhone and iPad in 2026

A Shorts batch download starts with a channel’s Shorts page. It can help save your own or authorized short videos from one creator without copying each video link separately.

01

Paste the channel’s Shorts link in Batch

Use the full channel Shorts URL in the format https://youtube.com/@channel-handle/shorts. The example below uses @dailymoodvideo. Open Extract in ClipDock, switch to Batch, and tap Paste. Make sure the address keeps /shorts at the end.

02

Load the Shorts list and wait for results

Tap Load list and wait for Loading list to finish. This only retrieves selectable resources; it does not start downloading. You still need to select items and tap Add to queue.

Select videos and add them to the queue

Confirm @dailymoodvideo as the source and select the short videos you want. Use Select loaded as needed. Choose Batch quality, confirm the selected count, then tap Add to queue. The example shows 48 loaded and selected items, with Add to queue (48) on the button.

Troubleshooting

The results differ from the channel’s Shorts page

Confirm the channel handle and /shorts at the end of the URL, then check loaded pages and account limits. The returned list may not include every Short on the channel. Select loaded only selects loaded resources. Avoid repeatedly submitting the whole list without checking.

Frequently asked questions

How does a channel Shorts link differ from a single Short’s link?

An address such as https://youtube.com/@dailymoodvideo/shorts identifies a channel’s Shorts list. An address containing /shorts/video-ID identifies one short video. For batch downloading, use the list URL with the channel handle and /shorts at the end.

Will completed batch downloads automatically appear in Photos?

Enable Auto-Save Completed Downloads to Photos in Download Settings to save supported downloads automatically. Otherwise, use Save to Photos after downloading. Saving requires photo access and a supported format.

Supported platforms

Batch sources include supported YouTube channels, Shorts, hashtags, and playlists; Instagram profiles and hashtags; X and TikTok profiles; and supported profiles or collections on Douyin, Bilibili, Weibo, and other platforms. Check the resources actually returned for your link.
