DLShortReel
Save public short-drama episodes as MP4
A small, ad-supported tool for keeping the free, public episodes of your favorite vertical dramas on your own device — handy for flights, commutes, and spotty coverage.
Supported sources
Currently wired up to three vertical-drama platforms — ReelShort, DramaBox and StardustTV. More are on the way.
How saving works
- Copy a public page link. Open the drama on the platform's website (not the app), copy the address of the series page or a free episode page.
- Review the episode list. The resolver reads the page you linked and lists the episodes that are publicly available. Paid episodes are labeled and skipped — we don't touch them.
- Download and keep. Each episode is fetched by your browser, packaged as MP4 locally, and saved through your browser's own download dialog. Nothing is stored on our servers.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account or an app?
No. The whole workflow runs in your browser tab. There is no sign-up, no install, and nothing to configure.
Can I download paid or locked episodes?
No, and that's by design. Locked chapters are marked in the list so you know where the free preview ends, but the tool only handles streams the platform serves publicly. To watch paid episodes, subscribe in the official app.
Why did my link fail to resolve?
The most common causes: the link points to the mobile app instead of the website, the series is region-restricted, or the platform changed its page layout. Open the link in a browser first — if it doesn't load there, it won't resolve here either.
Where are the files saved, and in what format?
Episodes are assembled inside your own browser session and saved via your browser's download dialog, typically as MP4 (or as a .ts stream file if your browser blocks the packaging library). Nothing is uploaded or kept after the tab closes.
Is my data tracked?
The resolver only sees the link you paste and returns a list. Video traffic goes between your device and the platform's public servers — we never proxy or store the media itself unless a CDN requires a same-origin relay.
