Social Saver Settings Explained

You can change how Social Saver works to better suit your needs. Click the "Settings" icon (⚙️ gear) in the left sidebar to open the settings window.

Settings are grouped into different tabs:

Downloads Settings

Download Locations

Set the default folders on your computer where files will be saved:

  • Video Folder: For downloaded videos (and combined files).
  • Audio Folder: For audio-only files.
  • Image Folder: For saved thumbnails.

Click "Browse" next to each to choose a folder.

Default File Formats

Choose the standard file type (extension) the app uses if you don't pick one specifically:

  • Video Format: e.g., .mp4 (recommended), .mkv
  • Audio Format: e.g., .mp3, .m4a, .opus
  • Image Format: e.g., .jpg (smaller), .png (higher quality)

Performance

  • Max Concurrent Downloads: How many files download at the same time. Lower this (e.g., to 1 or 2) if downloads fail or your computer slows down.
  • Cooldown Between Jobs (seconds): A small pause between starting downloads in a playlist. Helps prevent website errors. 0-2 seconds is usually good.

Remember to click the "Save Settings" button at the bottom after you make changes!
