Questions and answers

Do Shorts stay vertical?

Yes. The video is saved exactly as it was posted, without black bars or cropping.

Which links work?

Links that contain /shorts/, and the youtu.be links from the Share button, both work.

Is it free?

Yes. There’s no sign-up, no app to install and no limit on how many videos you save.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes. Open YTPocket in Safari, paste the link and tap a format. Safari asks where to save; the file then appears in the Files app.

Where do the files go?

To your browser’s Downloads folder. On Android that’s the Files app (Downloads); on iPhone it’s the Files app, then Downloads.

Do you keep my videos or links?

No. Files are prepared on our server only to send them to you and are deleted after 15 minutes. There’s no account and no history.

Is it legal?

Download only videos you made yourself, that are free to use, or that you have permission to save. Respect creators and each site’s terms.
