Is the Bluesky video downloader free?

Yes. You can save videos, GIFs, and images from Bluesky without paying and without creating an account. There is no app to install and no watermark added to your file.

Does it work with custom Bluesky domains?

Yes. Bluesky lets people use their own domain as a handle, so a link can read like bsky.app/profile/yourdomain.com. Paste it exactly as it appears and the tool resolves the post the same way.

Can I download Bluesky videos on my iPhone?

Yes. The tool works in any browser on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and desktop. On iPhone and iPad you can also add the free TVDL Shortcut to save videos in one tap from the share sheet.

Can I download Bluesky videos on Android?

Yes. Open this page in Chrome or any browser on your Android phone or tablet, paste the bsky.app post link, and the video saves straight to your device. There is no app to install and no account to sign in to.

Can I download Bluesky videos on a PC or laptop?

Yes. The downloader runs in any desktop browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Paste the bsky.app link and the file downloads straight to your computer, with no software or browser extension to install.

Why can a Bluesky post sometimes not be downloaded?

A post can be deleted, or the account may have turned off logged-out viewing. When that happens we tell you why and what to try next, instead of failing silently.

Do you keep the videos I download?

No. The media passes through only for as long as it takes to hand you the file, and the download link is short lived. We do not keep a copy of your videos.

Formats and quality

Bluesky serves video as MP4 and images as JPG or PNG. Most posts expose a single processed version, so you get the quality Bluesky published rather than a list of sizes. GIFs save as MP4, which is how short looping clips are stored.
