# SMDownloader

> SMDownloader is a free browser-based downloader for public social media links — videos, reels, clips, and images from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky, YouTube (Beta), X / Twitter, Douyin, and SoundCloud. No account required.

SMDownloader performs temporary, user-initiated processing only. It does not host, store, archive, or publish third-party media. Paste a public URL on the homepage, confirm your rights on first save, then download to your device.

Public availability does not grant download rights — use only content you own or have explicit permission to save.
