Frequently asked questions
- Why does down.blue fail sometimes?
- Some Bluesky posts stream audio separately. If a downloader misses the audio or HLS fragments, the file can fail or return mute.
- Does BlueVideoSaver support audio better?
- Yes. It checks for split audio/video tracks and merges them into one MP4 so you keep the soundtrack when it exists.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No installs are required. BlueVideoSaver runs in your browser on mobile and desktop.
- Can I try both tools?
- Yes. If one downloader fails, paste the same link into the other. Different backends handle streams differently.
Use BlueVideoSaver to download any public Bluesky video or GIF as an MP4 file.
