What is the Best Way to Download Videos from Bluesky Post?

For frequent Bluesky users, installing a browser extension is a convenient way to download videos directly from posts without leaving the site. These extensions add a download button next to video content on the Bluesky web interface, allowing you to save videos with just one click. It's faster than using online tools and ideal for those who regularly download Bluesky videos.

Popular options include Bluesky Video Downloader, available for Chrome and Firefox. Here's how to set one up and use it:

Step 1: Scroll through your feed or search for a Bluesky post that includes a video.

Step 2: Once the extension detects a video, it will display a small download icon (usually a down arrow) directly under or near the video post.

Step 3: Click that button to instantly download the video file (usually MP4 or TS).

Step 4: The video will be saved to your default downloads location. You can rename or move it as needed.

Tips & Notes:

If the download icon doesn’t appear, try refreshing the page or restarting your browser.

Some extensions may have options to change format or resolution. Please check the settings after installation.

If you use multiple extensions, avoid conflicts by disabling those not in use.
