FAQ
Can others download my private posts? No—only people who can already view your private post could attempt a download. If you revoke access or delete the post, new downloads stop.
If I delete a post, can it still be downloaded? Once removed from Bluesky, the original media is no longer available through BlueVideoSaver.
Use BlueVideoSaver for public posts by pasting your link on the homepage. For sound issues, see the no-sound guide.
