  2. 2. Paste into SMDownloader — Return here, paste the link into the field above, and tap Download.
  3. 3. Save the file — Preview the media in your browser, then save the MP4, image, GIF, or thread ZIP to your device.

Why use SMDownloader

  • No Bluesky login. Paste a public post link only. SMDownloader does not connect to your Bluesky account.
  • MP4 for videos. Video tools return downloadable MP4 files converted from Bluesky's public HLS streams.
  • Works on every device. iPhone, Android, and desktop browsers are supported. No app install required.

Supported link formats

  • https://bsky.app/profile/handle.bsky.social/post/POST_ID

Profile URLs work on the main Bluesky platform page — these tools expect a direct post link.

Paste the first post in the thread for best results. Very long threads may hit our bundle file cap.

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 SMDownloader will not do

  • 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.
