Save a Bluesky video before the post goes
Paste the link to any Bluesky post. You get the video as an MP4, or the images at the size they were uploaded — no account, no app, no upload of your own.
720p is Bluesky's ceiling — no tool can go higher
-
You paste a post link
Your browser asks Bluesky's public API what the post contains. That question goes from your device to Bluesky — it does not pass through this site.
-
You pick what to save
For video, Bluesky offers 360p and 720p and nothing else. For images, you get every picture on the post at its uploaded size.
-
Your browser does the work
Video arrives as a run of short pieces. Your browser fetches them straight from Bluesky's CDN and joins them into one MP4 on your own machine. This is the part that takes a moment.
-
The file saves itself
When the last piece is in, the finished MP4 goes to your downloads with a name taken from the post rather than a string of random characters.
One box per piece of video. They fill as each piece arrives, so you can always see the work is moving.
Because the video never passes through this server, there is no queue to wait in and no size limit to run into. You can confirm it yourself: open your browser's network panel and watch the requests go to bsky.app, not here.
Why is there no 1080p or 4K?
Because Bluesky does not keep one. The platform re-encodes every upload to 360p and 720p, and the original is not served to anyone. Any site promising 4K from a Bluesky link is describing a file that does not exist.
Why does it take a few seconds instead of being instant?
Bluesky stores video as a run of short pieces rather than one file. Your browser has to fetch each piece and join them before there is an MP4 to hand you. A minute of video is usually about ten pieces.
Does the video go through your server?
No. Your browser talks to Bluesky directly for both the post details and the video itself. Images are the one exception — Bluesky's image CDN refuses cross-site requests, so an image passes through this server to reach you with a proper filename. It is streamed through and never stored.

Why Bluesky video stops at 720p
This is the single most common disappointment with any Bluesky downloader, and it has nothing to do with the downloader.

Why the download happens in your browser
Most downloaders fetch the file onto their own machine first and then pass it to you. This one does not, and the difference is visible.
