SoundCloud Downloader
Paste a SoundCloud track link and save it as MP3.
How these map to yt-dlp
Each control maps to a fixed, validated set of yt-dlp arguments on the
server. Options that execute commands or read files — --exec,
--external-downloader, --load-info-json,
--output — are deliberately not exposed, because a public
endpoint that accepts arbitrary flags is a remote-code-execution hole.
Everything here is a fixed menu, so nothing you type becomes a flag.
About this downloader
SoundCloud publishes each track at several bitrates, and the extractor reads them without a session. Tracks convert to MP3 on the way out, so the file plays on anything from a phone to a car stereo.
- MP3 at 128 kbps, or M4A up to 160 kbps
- Optional metadata embedding so title and artist travel with the file
- Public tracks only — private and follower-only tracks are not served
Questions
Which bitrate do I get?
SoundCloud's original MP3 stream is 128 kbps. The M4A stream reaches 160 kbps, and both are offered in the quality dropdown.
Can I download a whole playlist?
Not in one request. Paste the link for each track, or use the playlist range option in the advanced panel where the page exposes individual tracks.
Will the file have the artwork?
Enable 'Embed thumbnail' in the advanced panel and the cover art is written into the file's tags.
