About Bluesky Downloader

When you browse Bluesky, you’re often viewing content served from a decentralized network. As accounts migrate or servers go offline, valuable posts can vanish without warning. Bluesky Downloader lets you archive videos and images directly to your device before they disappear.

Our extension resolves AT Protocol media URIs automatically and downloads content at its highest available quality. Videos save as MP4 files, while images keep their original resolution and format. A simple right‑click option makes capture fast and unobtrusive.

Your privacy matters. All preferences and licence information stay stored locally, and we never inject tracking or analytics. With no external routing, you can build a personal media library without relying on anyone else—and access it offline whenever you need to.

Good for early-adopter archiving

I've been archiving interesting Bluesky threads since the early invite days. This extension makes saving media dead simple and everything stays on my machine.

Handles the AT Protocol gracefully

The AT Protocol handling is smooth. I don't have to figure out blob URLs manually — just click and save. Works across different PDS setups too.

Saved my research archive

Downloaded a bunch of infographics from researchers on Bluesky before they moved instances. Glad I had local copies because the old links broke.
