How to Use Scdown
A full walkthrough for downloading SoundCloud tracks, playlists, and cover art as MP3, WAV, or FLAC — no software, no browser extension, no signup.
Download a Single SoundCloud Track
The fastest path from a SoundCloud link to a saved MP3 file.
Find the Track on SoundCloud
Open the song, remix, or podcast episode on soundcloud.com or in the app, and copy its link from the address bar or the Share button.
Paste the Link into Scdown
Drop the URL into the converter box on the homepage. Scdown reads the audio stream and pulls the title, artist, and cover art automatically.
Choose a Format and Download
Pick MP3 for everyday listening, or WAV/FLAC if you're a Supporter who needs lossless audio. Your file downloads straight to your device.
Download a Full SoundCloud Playlist or Album
Save an entire set, album, or DJ mix without downloading song by song.
Copy the Playlist or Album URL
Open the playlist, album, or artist's Albums tab on SoundCloud and copy its link.
Open the Playlist Downloader
Paste the link into the SoundCloud Playlist Downloader page. Scdown indexes every track in the collection within seconds.
Download Individually or in Batch
Free users can download each track one at a time. Supporters can download the entire playlist as a single ZIP file with one click.
Convert SoundCloud to WAV or FLAC
For DJs, producers, and anyone who needs uncompressed, lossless audio.
Paste Your Track or Playlist Link
Use the SoundCloud to WAV or SoundCloud to FLAC page and paste the link to the track, set, or album you want in full quality.
Select WAV or FLAC as the Format
Switch the format tab from MP3 to WAV or FLAC before downloading. This unlocks the full, uncompressed version of the audio.
Download Your Lossless File
Your uncompressed file downloads with tags and artwork intact — ready for a DAW, a CDJ, or archival storage.
Save SoundCloud Cover Art in Full Resolution
Grab the original artwork instead of a compressed thumbnail.
Copy a Track, Playlist, or Profile Link
Any public SoundCloud track, playlist, or artist profile works with the artwork downloader.
Paste It into the Artwork Downloader
Scdown fetches the original, full-size image directly from SoundCloud's servers — not the small preview you'd get from right-clicking.
Save the Image
Download the full-resolution cover art, avatar, or banner straight to your device with no watermark.
Use Scdown on iPhone or Android
Everything above works identically on mobile — no app install needed.
Copy the Link from the SoundCloud App
In the SoundCloud app, tap Share, then Copy Link on the track, playlist, or profile you want.
Open Scdown in Safari or Chrome
Paste the link into the converter and tap Download. There's nothing to install.
Find Your File in Downloads
On iPhone, the file saves to the Files app. On Android, it lands in your Downloads folder, ready to play offline.
