Can I download paid or VIP Youku content?
No. Paid, VIP and otherwise DRM-protected Youku titles cannot be downloaded and SaveAny does not try — only freely playable content resolves.
Can I download Youku videos without a watermark?
Youku burns its watermark into the picture itself, so no tool can remove it; SaveAny saves the best copy as published.
Does downloading from Youku require a login?
Youku limits part of its catalogue by country, so some titles may not be reachable from your region.
What formats can I save Youku media in?

Does SaveAny store the Youku files I download?
The media is never kept. SaveAny streams the file straight from Youku to your device and deletes its temporary copy as the transfer ends. The link itself and whether it worked are recorded so the service can be kept running; if you are signed in, that is also your own history. Browsing anonymously creates no account.
