All Bluesky copy guidesSupported link formats
https://bsky.app/profile/handle.bsky.social/post/POST_ID
Profile-only URLs (bsky.app/profile/handle without /post/…) are not supported — paste a direct post link from Share → Copy link.
Paste the first post in the thread for best results. Very long threads may return a large media list — save files one by one.
Where files save
After you confirm a save, the file goes to your browser's default download location — usually Downloads on desktop or your photo gallery on mobile. SMDownloader does not host or email files.
Limits
What links will not work
- Bypass private accounts, close-friends stories, or login-only posts.
- Bulk-scrape entire profiles, hashtags, or channels automatically.
- Promise universal no-watermark, 4K, or DRM-free output when the source does not expose it.
Common questions
Do bsky.app links work?
Yes. Paste the post link exactly as copied — e.g. bsky.app/profile/user/post/… — and SMDownloader resolves the public media.
Is this free?
Yes. SMDownloader is free in your browser with no signup required.
What if the download fails?
We try the specialized Bluesky resolver first, then fall back to Bluesky's public API. Private or deleted posts cannot be fetched.
SMDownloader is not affiliated with Bluesky. Only download public content you have rights to save. See the Bluesky downloader overview for all supported URL shapes.
