Downloading Playlists

Social Saver lets you download many items from a playlist (like a YouTube playlist, SoundCloud album, or channel page) all at once.

Step 1: Copy the Playlist Link

Go to the main page of the playlist in your web browser. Copy the web address (URL) from the address bar.

Step 2: Paste and Search

Open Social Saver, paste the playlist URL into the top input box, and click Search.

Step 3: View the Playlist Items

Social Saver will show a table listing all the videos or songs it found in the playlist.

Step 4: Select Which Items to Download

  • Pick Individuals: Check the box ☐ next to each item you want.
  • Select All Shown: Click the checkbox ☑ in the table header row to select (or deselect) everything currently visible.

Step 5: Filter the List (Optional)

If the playlist is very long, use the "Search bar" located just *above the table* to find items faster. Type part of a title or name to show only matching items. The "Select All" checkbox only affects the items shown after filtering.

Step 6: Choose Default Download Options

Use the "Type" and "Quality" dropdown menus *above the table* to set the options for "all" the items you have checked ☑.

  • "Type:" Choose `Video` (gets video+audio) or `Audio` (gets sound only).
  • "Quality:" Select the quality you want (e.g., `Best Available`, `1080p`, `High Audio`).

Step 7: Adjust Single Items (Optional)

You can still change the Type or Quality for any individual selected item. Just use the dropdowns *inside that specific item's row* in the table.

Step 8: Pick a Save Folder (Optional)

By default, files go into the folders you set in Settings. To save just *this batch* of playlist files into a different folder:

  1. Click the "Output Location" button (above the table).
  2. Choose the folder you want.

Step 9: Start Downloading the Batch

Click the main download button, usually labeled `Download Selected (N)`, where N is the count of selected items.

Step 10: Watch the Progress

Each item in the table will show its own download status and progress bar.

Step 11: Find Your Files

Once finished, find the downloaded files in the "History" page, just like single downloads. Use the 📄 and 📁 icons.
