SoundCloud is home to over 300 million tracks — from underground artists to chart-topping hits. But the platform's built-in download option is only available when artists enable it, and SoundCloud Go+ offline listening is limited to the mobile app. SSvid lets you download any SoundCloud track, playlist, or podcast episode to your desktop in full quality.
What You Need
- SSvid — free download from ssvid.app (macOS, Windows, Linux)
- A SoundCloud track, playlist, or artist URL
- That's it. No account, no signup, no browser extension.
Step-by-Step Guide
Download and install SSvid
Go to ssvid.app and download the app for your platform. On macOS, drag to Applications. On Windows, run the installer. On Linux, make the AppImage executable and run it. Takes about 30 seconds.
Find the track on SoundCloud
Open SoundCloud in your browser and navigate to the track, playlist, or artist page you want to download. You can also use SoundCloud's search to find specific music.
Copy the SoundCloud URL
Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. It looks like: https://soundcloud.com/artist-name/track-name
Paste the URL into SSvid
Open SSvid and paste the SoundCloud URL into the search bar at the top. SSvid automatically detects the track, extracts metadata (title, artist, artwork, duration), and shows available audio formats.
Choose format and download
Pick your preferred audio format and quality. Click Download. SSvid saves the file with full metadata and cover artwork embedded — ready for your music library.
Tip: You can paste SoundCloud playlist URLs to download entire playlists at once, or artist page URLs to grab an entire discography. SSvid handles up to 10 downloads in parallel.
