Features & Capabilities

YouTube UnShortify automatically converts YouTube Shorts links into standard YouTube video links, giving you back control over your viewing experience.

If you are tired of the restrictive, mobile-optimized Shorts interface on your desktop browser, this lightweight add-on is for you. It works instantly in the background: whenever you click a Shorts link, it effortlessly changes the URL from youtube.com/shorts/... to youtube.com/watch?v=...

Features & Benefits:

Timeline Scrubbing: Easily fast-forward, rewind, or skip to specific parts of the video.
Volume Control: Get the standard YouTube volume slider back.
Theater & Fullscreen Mode: Watch short-form content in standard viewing modes.
Better Layout: Read comments and view the description without the cramped Shorts overlay.
Lightweight & Fast: Does one thing and does it perfectly with zero impact on browser performance.
Privacy-Friendly: No data tracking or unnecessary permissions required.

How it works: Simply install the extension, and you're done! There are no buttons to click or settings to configure. Every YouTube Short will automatically load in the classic player.

Is YouTube UnShortify Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube UnShortify requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
