Velvet Link
Your phone, one tap away.
Photos, files, text and links between your phone and PC – no app, no cable.
No app, no cable
Point the phone's camera at the code – a page opens in its browser. Add it to the home screen and next time it's one tap.
Photos & files, both ways
Pick photos on the phone and they land in Downloads in full quality. Drop files on the PC and they're ready to save on the phone.
Camera to PC
Take a photo and it's on your PC a second later. The PC can even ask the phone for one.
Text & links
Copy text to the PC, grab the PC's clipboard on the phone, or open a link from the phone right in the PC's browser.
Why not just use a website?
Online PDF tools want your contracts, IDs and photos on their server – and a subscription for anything useful. Velvet does the same jobs on your own PC. It's faster too: nothing has to upload or download.
Velvet is made by one independent developer. A small one-time price keeps it free of ads and tracking. Read the privacy policy

Questions
Good to know
Step-by-step help is in the guides. Anything else? Write to info@rmat.sk.
How much does Velvet cost?
Free during the launch month – whoever gets it then keeps it. After that €4.99 once, with a 7-day free trial in Microsoft Store. Updates are included, there's no subscription.
Why isn't Velvet free?
Velvet is made by one independent developer, not a big company. Free apps usually pay for themselves with ads, subscriptions or your data – Velvet does none of that. A small one-time price keeps it that way: no ads, no account, no tracking, and new tools and fixes as free updates.
Which Windows do I need?
Windows 10 (version 1809 or newer) or Windows 11, 64-bit. Get it from Microsoft Store.
Do I need an account or internet?
No. Everything happens on your PC. Velvet Link only needs the phone and the PC on the same Wi‑Fi.
Does Velvet Link work with iPhone and Android?
Yes – any phone with a camera and a browser. Nothing to install on the phone. To put Velvet on the home screen, use Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android.
Do I need Microsoft Word?
Only for PDF to Word – Velvet asks the Word on your PC to do the conversion, so nothing is uploaded. Without Word that one action is greyed out; everything else works without Office. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to PDF need Office too – without it, To PDF is greyed out and says so.
Can I send you an idea or a problem?
Please do – use Send feedback in the Velvet window. It goes straight to us and every message is read.
Is the signature legally binding?
Velvet places a picture of your signature or stamp on the page, like signing a printout. It isn't a certified electronic signature.
