Type “candy shorts” into Google and you get three unrelated things: a clothing category, a television series, and the one you almost certainly want, the vertical-video product from Candy.ai. This page is about the third. Everything below was counted from the live catalogue on 30 September 2026, so the numbers are dated and checkable rather than estimated.
What Candy Shorts actually is
Candy Shorts is a scrollable feed of short, AI-generated video episodes, organised into ongoing scripted series with a recurring cast. You open it, an episode plays vertically like a TikTok, and when it ends you either continue that series or swipe to a different one. Episodes are commonly described as running roughly one to two minutes; we have not timed them ourselves and will not publish a runtime figure we cannot stand behind.
Two things separate it from a generic AI clip feed. The first is that it is serialised. These are not disconnected clips with a new face every scroll, a series has characters, a premise and a running storyline across its episodes, and the catalogue is sorted by series rather than by clip. The second is that it is adult. Most series are sexually explicit: full nudity, sex scenes rendered to look unsimulated, nothing blurred and nothing cut away from. It is pornographic in intent and the platform does not pretend otherwise. We go into the specifics on whether Candy Shorts counts as porn and on how uncensored it really is.
It is 18+, it is not safe for work, and there is no toned-down mode.
The name: candyshorts, candy shorts, candy ai shorts, candy.ai shorts
All of these point at the same product. The official spelling on the standalone site is the one-word form, candyshorts. “Candy shorts ai” and “candy ai shorts” are user coinages that describe it accurately enough, it is the shorts product from Candy.ai, and “candy.ai shorts” is how people write it when they already know the parent brand. Nobody is wrong here; there is just no single settled name yet.
There are two official places to watch, and they carry the same catalogue:
- candyshorts.com, the standalone site, video only.
- candy.ai/candy-shorts, the same catalogue inside the main Candy AI app, next to the chat product.
One account covers both. Anything else calling itself a Candy Shorts app, mirror, downloader or archive is not official, which is the short version of our page on what actually circulates under the “candyshorts leaked” searches.
Is Candy Shorts AI? Yes, all of it
Every frame is generated. No footage is filmed, no set is built, no camera is pointed at anyone. The characters do not exist, the locations do not exist, and there is no original recording sitting behind any episode. This is the single fact that answers most of the questions people arrive with: “are candy shorts ai” is not a partial yes with some live-action mixed in. It is generated end to end.
That has consequences worth stating plainly rather than burying. It means no performer was present for any scene, so the consent question that applies to filmed pornography does not apply in the same shape. It also means the visual quality varies in the specific ways AI video varies, continuity between shots, hands, background detail. If you have watched any AI video in the last year you know what to expect; if you have not, expect something closer to a well-rendered animation than to a camera.
How an episode works, and what happens when it ends
Pick a series, press play on episode 1, and the episode runs to its end. Then the platform does the thing that explains its whole business model: it drops you into a chat with that character. The video is the shop window; the conversation is the product Candy.ai actually sells. Understanding that changes how the free tier reads, the free episodes are not a sample of a video subscription so much as an introduction to a chatbot.
Subtitles are available in seven languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese. No other page covering candyshorts mentions this, and it matters if English is not your first language, because these are scripted series with dialogue rather than wordless clips.
The catalogue: 128 series and 687 episodes
This is where the competing guides fall apart. The two sites that currently rank for these queries publish 23 and 10 series guides respectively. The real catalogue, counted on 30 September 2026, holds 128 series and 687 episodes. Of those episodes, 241 are free and 446 are paid.
Series are short. 109 of the 128 series, 85% of the catalogue, are exactly five episodes long. That is the house format. The exceptions are worth knowing before you assume a series will keep going:
| Series | Episodes |
|---|---|
| My bestie betrayed me | 34 |
| YES MA’AM | 15 |
| Mona’s Worst Enemy | 15 |
| Caught Between Sisters | 15 |
Eleven series currently carry a “New Episodes” flag, which is the catalogue’s own signal that a series is still being extended rather than finished. The full list of what is in the catalogue sits on our complete series index.
The three scopes
The catalogue’s own filter tabs split it three ways:
| Scope | Series | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Candy characters | 96 | The house cast, characters that also exist in the Candy AI chat product. |
| Other characters | 23 | Characters that appear only in the shorts catalogue. |
| Candy Creators | 9 | Series built on a licensed likeness of a real adult performer. |
The tags, and what the mix tells you
The platform tags its own series, and the distribution is the most honest description of the catalogue’s editorial character that exists. Taboo 56 · Milf 32 · Nympho 23 · Stepsister 20 · Stepmom 19 · Wife 18 · New 11 · Fantasy 10 · Cuckold 9 · Spicy 8 · Maid 4 · Teacher 3. Eighteen series carry no tag at all, and series can carry more than one tag, which is why those numbers do not add to 128.
Read that list as a content warning and a buying guide at once. Taboo on 56 series means step-family and forbidden-relationship premises are the single largest theme in the catalogue by a wide margin, not a niche corner of it. If that is not what you are looking for, you are looking at a catalogue where a little under half the series are built on it. We do not rate individual series on an invented explicitness scale, one competitor does, and it is editorial fiction dressed as data. The platform’s own tags, scopes and episode counts tell you more, and they are real. Our page on what the series actually show works from those signals.
What is free, and exactly where the paywall lands
Nobody publishes this rule, so here it is. 119 of the 128 series give exactly two free episodes. One, Simona Rossi: Wrong But Right, gives three. Eight series are registration-gated and expose no episode data at all to a logged-out visitor, so we cannot state their counts.
| Episode | Cost | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Episode 1 | Free | Nothing. No account, no email, no card. |
| Episode 2 | Free | A free account. Email and password, no payment details. |
| Episode 3 onward | Paid | Tokens, which come with a Premium subscription. |
120 episodes play with no account whatsoever: that is episode 1 of each series that is not registration-gated. You can watch 120 different first episodes back to back without typing an email address anywhere. The full arithmetic, including why the free total is 241 rather than 256, is on our page on watching Candy Shorts free.
What it costs
Paid episodes are priced in tokens. 12 tokens per episode on 113 series, 30 tokens per episode on the seven Candy Creators series that expose pricing to a logged-out visitor. Tokens come from a subscription:
| Plan | Charged | Effective monthly | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $13.99 | $13.99 | , |
| 3 months | $26.97 | $8.99 | 35% off |
| 12 months | $47.88 | $3.99 | 70% off, badged “BEST VALUE” |
A Premium subscription includes 100 tokens a month, which is eight standard episodes at 12 tokens each, or three Candy Creators episodes at 30.
The $3.99 figure is the one the platform advertises and it is the one everybody quotes, but it is a twelve-month prepayment of $47.88 taken in a single charge, not a monthly bill of $3.99. Budget accordingly. The charge shows on a statement as EverAI rather than as anything containing the word Candy, which is either a privacy feature or a reason you will not recognise the line item, depending on your situation. Full breakdown on our pricing page, and the mechanics of stopping the renewal are on how to cancel.
How it relates to Candy.ai’s chat product
Candy.ai is an AI companion service: you talk to a generated character, it talks back, it generates images on request. Candy Shorts is the video arm of the same company, sharing the same account, the same billing and, for 96 of the 128 series, the same cast. Finishing an episode hands you to that character’s chat, which is the conversion the whole feed is designed around.
Practically, that means a subscription is not a video subscription with chat attached, nor the reverse. It is one account, one token balance, spent on whichever of the two you use. If you only want the videos you are still buying into the companion product, and vice versa.
The Candy Creators series and the four real performers
Four real adult performers licensed their likeness to the platform, which calls the result a digital twin: Riley Reid on four series, Bonnie Blue on two, Mia Malkova on two, Sophie Dee on one. Nine series in total.
What that means, stated precisely because it is the thing people actually want to know: they consented and licensed their likeness, and the character is generated from that licence. They did not film these episodes. There is no original recording, no shoot, no footage. Nothing in these series is something the performer performed, and nothing has leaked from anywhere, because there is nothing to leak. The creators page on the platform lists twelve people; the other eight are not credited on any series in the current catalogue. We cover each of them individually (Riley Reid, Bonnie Blue, Mia Malkova and Sophie Dee) from the creators index.
What Candy Shorts is not
Several things get confused with it, and clearing them up is half the reason this page exists.
- It is not a tube site. The catalogue is a closed set of series produced by the operator, not a pile of third-party uploads. That is why a count of it is possible at all.
- It is not deepfaked from existing footage. The Candy Creators series are generated from likenesses the performers licensed, and every other series is a character who does not exist. Nothing was lifted from anyone’s back catalogue.
- It is not a subscription to a single long-form library. The unit is the episode, and the episode is short. See the section below before you assume otherwise.
- It is not published anywhere official except the two properties above. The operator puts nothing on Dailymotion, Reddit or Telegram, whatever the results for those searches suggest.
- It is not the clothing, and it is not the television series that share the name in Google’s index. If you searched for either of those, this is the wrong product.
Reasons not to pay for it
We make money if you subscribe through our link, so it is worth being blunt about the arguments on the other side.
The series are very short. With 109 of 128 series running exactly five episodes and two of those free, a paid series is three episodes of roughly a minute or two. At 12 tokens each that is a small transaction, but it is also a small amount of content, and if you are imagining something with the runtime of an ordinary scene, adjust downward hard.
The catalogue is thematically narrow. Taboo is on 56 of the 128 series, Milf on 32, Stepsister on 20 and Stepmom on 19. If those premises do not interest you, the effective catalogue is a good deal smaller than 128.
You cannot fully preview eight of the series, the registration-gated ones show nothing at all until you have an account, so you cannot judge them before signing up.
And the free tier is genuinely generous enough to answer the question for you. 120 first episodes with no account, and a second episode of each series behind a free signup, is more than enough to decide whether the format works for you. There is no reason to pay before you have used it, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Our full review and our page on whether Candy Shorts is safe and legitimate go further into both sides.
Who operates it
Candy Shorts is run by EverAI Limited, registered in Malta, the same company behind Candy.ai. This site is not operated by EverAI or by Candy.ai; it is an independent reference built from the public catalogue, and it earns a commission if you subscribe through our link. Every count on this page was taken on 30 September 2026 and is dated for that reason, the catalogue grows, and a figure with no date attached to it is a figure you cannot check.
