Common questions

Does the Bluesky video downloader save videos in HD?

Yes, our Bluesky video downloader saves videos at the best quality Bluesky exposes on their network, supporting native 1080p and 720p streams without downsampling.

How do I download a Bluesky video?

Copy Share → Copy link on a public post with video, paste the bsky.app/profile/…/post/… URL above, click Download, preview the MP4, then save through your browser.

Why does Bluesky video need HLS conversion?

Bluesky serves adaptive bitrate HLS video chunks (.m3u8) rather than flat MP4 files. SMDownloader stitches the segments into a single downloadable MP4 container.

What is the maximum video length supported on Bluesky?

Bluesky limits native video uploads to 60 seconds and 50MB per post. SMDownloader supports the full duration and resolution exposed by the author.

Why is there no audio on my downloaded Bluesky video?

Some Bluesky videos are uploaded as silent clips or muted by the creator. If the source post has an audio track, SMDownloader preserves the stereo audio.

Can I download videos from private or blocked Bluesky accounts?

No. Bluesky posts must be publicly accessible on the open AT Protocol network without login or account follower restrictions.

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.
