What this tool does

Bluesky Video Downloader saves a public video post from Bluesky to your device, so you can watch it offline. Paste a post link, pick a quality, and download -- no account, no browser extension, and no Bluesky login required.

How It Works

When you paste a link, the server resolves the post's available formats using yt-dlp, an open-source media resolver, and lists the qualities available without logging in. When you press Download, the server fetches that stream and relays it straight back to your browser as a download -- it is deleted from the server the moment it finishes sending.

Problems it solves

Saving a Bluesky video for offline viewing somewhere with no signal, like a flight.
Keeping a personal copy of a video before it gets deleted or taken down.
Avoiding a browser extension or desktop app just to save one video.

How to Download

1 Copy the post link -- open the post on Bluesky and copy its link from the address bar or the Share button.
2 Paste and fetch -- paste the link and press Fetch Video to load its title and available qualities.
3 Pick a quality -- choose a resolution from the list.
4 Save the video -- press Download and follow your browser's prompt.

On Your Device

Android

In the Bluesky app, tap the share icon on the post, tap Copy Link, then paste it here in Chrome.

iPhone & iPad

Tap the share icon on the post in the Bluesky app, tap Copy Link, open this page in Safari, and paste.

Windows & Mac

Copy the post's URL from your browser's address bar on bsky.app.

Key Features

No installation and no Bluesky account -- works entirely in the browser.
Resolves real, audio-included quality options rather than silent, video-only streams.
One click, one file -- no bundled ads.

Limitations & Availability

Posts from private or blocked accounts are not reachable, even if you can view them in your own signed-in session.
A generated download link expires -- fetch the video again if it stops working.

Troubleshooting

›Fetching fails even for a public post

Reopen the post on bsky.app to confirm it still plays, then try again after a short wait.

›Only one quality option appears

This is normal -- some posts are only stored at one quality to begin with.

›Download fails

Try again after a short wait, or fetch the post again to refresh the link.

Frequently asked questions

›Is this legal?

It depends on the post and your local law. This tool only retrieves the same public post Bluesky already sends to any browser that loads a public post page -- it does not unlock content from private or blocked accounts. Bluesky's own terms technically restrict third-party downloading, though enforcement against personal, occasional use is weak and there is a large market of similar tools. You should still respect the original creator's rights, especially for anything you plan to reuse or republish.

›Why did fetching fail for my link?

The post may be from a private or blocked account, deleted, or the link may point to a profile instead of a single post. Reopen the post on bsky.app, confirm it still plays there, copy the link again, and try once more.

›Why do some posts only offer one quality?

Bluesky doesn't always generate a full set of resolutions for every upload -- some videos, particularly shorter or lower-traffic ones, are only stored at a single quality to begin with.

›Does this work for posts from any Bluesky server, not just bsky.app?

Yes, as long as the post has its own public bsky.app/profile/.../post/ link, the way most Bluesky clients generate when you share a post.

Respecting Creators

Bluesky creators build a following through likes, reposts, and replies on the platform itself. Save videos for personal use or reference, credit the original creator if you repost anything, and avoid passing off someone else's content as your own.
