# 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.

**Languages:** English is the default (unprefixed paths). Full Spanish ships under `/es/...` (e.g. `/es/plataformas`). Full French ships under `/fr/...` (e.g. `/fr/plateformes`, `/fr/questions-frequentes`). Legal policies stay English-only. Inventories: [`/es/llms.txt`](https://www.smdownloader.com/es/llms.txt), [`/fr/llms.txt`](https://www.smdownloader.com/fr/llms.txt). The [XML sitemap](https://www.smdownloader.com/sitemap.xml) includes all locales with hreflang alternates.
