Download Bluesky videos as MP4
Paste the link of a Bluesky post and save its video as a single MP4 with sound, or keep only the audio as an MP3. Bluesky streams video in small pieces your browser can't save; we fetch the file the author uploaded instead, and we don't re-encode it. No Bluesky account needed.
- One MP4 with sound
- MP3 of the video
- Not re-encoded
How to save a video from a Bluesky post
Copy the post link
In the app, tap Share on the post and Copy link. In a browser, open the post and copy the address: bsky.app/profile/name/post/ and a code.
Paste the bsky.app link
Paste it in the box above. If the video is inside a quoted post, open the quoted post and copy its link instead.
Take the MP4 or the MP3
Tap Download MP4, or Download MP3 on the next row. The MP4 is the author's original file; the MP3 is converted on our server, which takes a few seconds.

What a Bluesky post can hold
A Bluesky post carries one video or up to four images, never both. This page handles the video: up to 3 minutes, the most Bluesky accepts, saved as an MP4 with the original sound, plus an MP3 if you only want the audio.
Images are plain pictures your browser saves on its own. GIFs are embedded from Tenor, an outside service, so the file isn't on Bluesky. And if you're looking at a quote post, the video belongs to the quoted one: open it and copy that link.
Why Bluesky videos can't be saved from the browser
Bluesky plays video as a stream, a playlist of short pieces in a few qualities, which a browser can play but not keep as a file. Behind that stream, Bluesky also keeps the file the author uploaded, and that is the one we hand you, without re-encoding.
Accounts are public by default, but a user can ask Bluesky to hide their posts from logged-out people. We never log in, so those posts return not found. Everything that plays in a private window without an account works here.

Where the Bluesky MP4 lands on iPhone, Android and PC
- On iPhone
- Safari keeps the MP4 in Files › Downloads as bluesky_ plus the post id. It is the file the author uploaded, not the stream the Bluesky player plays; Share › Save Video moves it to Photos.
- On Android
- The MP4 shows up in the Download folder under the same name. If the gallery hasn't listed it yet, open it once from Files by Google.
- On PC and Mac
- The link points at Bluesky's own storage, so a desktop browser opens the video in a new tab. Right-click it there and pick Save video as.
Quality, wait time and images on Bluesky
What quality do I get?
The file the author uploaded, and the result shows its resolution. Bluesky's player may show an enlarged stream copy; the original has the same detail, and we don't re-encode it.
Why does it take a few seconds?
We ask Bluesky where the post's original file is before listing it, and the MP3 is converted on our server. Bluesky videos are at most 3 minutes long, so it's a short wait.
Why does it say no video was found?
The post holds images, a Tenor GIF or a link to another site instead of a video hosted on Bluesky, it was deleted, or the author hid their posts from people who aren't logged in.
Can I save the images or GIFs of a post?
Not on this page. Images are ordinary pictures your browser saves with a long press or a right-click. GIFs come from Tenor, not from Bluesky.
How do I save a Bluesky video on iPhone?
Copy the post link from Share in the Bluesky app, open this page in Safari, paste it and tap Download MP4. The file goes to Files, in Downloads; open it, tap Share and choose Save Video to put it in Photos.
Can I get only the audio?
Yes. Tap Download MP3 on the second row. The sound is converted once to MP3 at 128 kbps.
Does the author know I saved it?
No. We don't use any Bluesky account, and nobody is notified.
