How it works
Find the GIF-like post
Open the Bluesky post containing the short looping clip you want to save.
Copy the post URL and paste above
Use the share menu to copy the link, then paste it into the downloader.
Download the MP4
Bluesky stores these clips as video files. Download the MP4 and convert to GIF if needed.
Which animated posts can be saved?
This downloader resolves native Bluesky video attachments. A looping clip can look like a GIF while being delivered as video; the saved file is MP4. External GIF embeds and static images are not supported inputs.
The tool does not convert MP4 to GIF. For a GIF file, first save the MP4, then convert it in an editor. Trim the clip and reduce its dimensions or frame rate if the GIF becomes too large. Keep the original MP4 for playback with sound.
