What you can save from Bluesky

Photos and videos attached to public Bluesky posts.

The Photo tab on the Bluesky page of this site saves a JPG image. No account is needed and nothing is installed.

Step 1: copy the link

Open the post, tap the share icon and choose Copy link to post.

Step 2: paste it

Open the Bluesky Downloader page and paste the link into the box. It starts on its own and shows a preview in a few seconds. You can also press the Paste button.

Step 3: save the file

Press the Download button. You get a JPG image. On iPhone, open the Downloads list in Safari, tap the picture and choose Share, Save Image. On Android the file goes to Downloads and shows in Gallery.

About quality

Pictures are saved at the largest public size the platform shares. The same picture you see in the post is what you get, with nothing added.

If it does not work

Use the link of one post that contains /post/. Profile links and feeds do not point to a single post.

Open the link in a private browser window. If it opens without logging in, it is public. Wait a minute and try again, as platforms sometimes limit requests for a short time.
