Pornhub Shorties: the biggest name goes vertical, verified uploaders only.

What is Pornhub Shorties?

Shorties is Pornhub’s answer to TikTok: a full-screen feed of short vertical clips that you swipe through one at a time. It ran as a beta for more than a year before Pornhub made it an official part of the site in late 2025, on both Pornhub and Pornhub Gay.

Because it lives inside Pornhub, you get the same catalogue, the same accounts and the same rules as the main site. Pornhub is run by Aylo, the company formerly known as MindGeek.

How Pornhub Shorties works

Open pornhub.com/shorties on your phone, or pick Shorties from the main menu, and swipe up for the next clip. Buttons let you like, follow, favourite or skip, and a “More of Me” option takes you to more from the same creator.

The feed recommends clips based on what you watch, and creators can post vertical clips straight into it. If it isn’t serving what you want, the rest of Pornhub’s search and categories are a tap away.

What’s free and what isn’t

Watching Shorties is free, and the free site carries ads. Pornhub Premium is an optional paid subscription that removes them and adds extra videos; like most subscriptions, it renews until you cancel.

Where you live matters too. Pornhub has blocked visitors in many US states with age-verification laws, 17 of them by January 2025, and since February 2026 it has shut out new UK users, letting only those who already verified their age keep access.

Where the clips come from

In December 2020, after a New York Times column alleged that Pornhub hosted abuse material, Visa and Mastercard cut the site off and it pulled every video from unverified uploaders. Since then, only verified creators and content partners can upload, and that applies to Shorties too.

That history still follows the brand. In September 2025, Aylo agreed to a $5 million settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission and Utah over claims it failed to keep illegal content off its sites, and promised tighter age and consent checks. For you, it means one of the more tightly policed feeds in this category, with clear ways to report content.
