Made for Bluesky video posts

  • MP4 up to 1080p

    SaveArrow shows every quality Bluesky offers for the video, up to 1080p, so you can choose a sharp copy or a smaller file. Every option downloads as an MP4.

  • Higher qualities, assembled live

    The higher qualities may be assembled from the stream while they download. Those downloads can’t be paused and resumed, so keep the page open until the file is saved.

  • Captions as .srt

    When the post has captions, SaveArrow saves them as an .srt file you can open alongside the video in most players. If the post has no captions, the .srt option doesn’t appear.

  • Sound as MP3, no sign-up

    Need only the audio? Choose MP3 and the sound is converted on the fly. It’s free, works in Safari, Chrome and other browsers on iPhone, Android and computers, and needs no account.

What quality are downloaded Bluesky videos?

You get MP4 files in the qualities Bluesky offers for that post, up to 1080p. The exact options depend on how the video was uploaded.
