Review and selectively download your own Sora videos and drafts for backup.
Save Sora
Save Sora is an open-source Chrome extension built for people who want a cleaner way to review their own Sora published videos and drafts, rename what matters, and back up only the files they choose.
Extension-first: the working product today is the Chrome extension in this repository.
Standalone privacy page: /privacy.html is ready to publish independently on GitHub Pages.
Standalone web app status: the web app is disabled for now, but it can be built later if there is enough support for it.
How To Use Save Sora
The working product is the Chrome extension. The GitHub page is here to explain the project, show the privacy policy, and help you get started.
Open Chrome Extensions
In Chrome on a desktop or laptop computer, go to chrome://extensions.
Turn on Developer mode using the switch in the top-right corner.
Load Save Sora
Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped Save Sora folder. Chrome will add the extension to your browser right away.
Sign In To Sora Normally
Open Sora in the same Chrome profile you normally use and sign in the usual way. Save Sora uses the browser session you already have. It does not ask you to copy or paste tokens, passwords, or cookies.
Review And Download
Click the Save Sora extension icon, choose whether you want to see published items, drafts, or both, then let it load your list. From there you can search, rename, sort, select what you want, and download only the videos you choose.
If you are visiting on a phone: this GitHub page is still useful for reading the docs and privacy policy, but the extension itself is meant for desktop Chrome. The best next step is to open this repository on a computer and follow the setup steps there.
If you only want to learn more first: you can stay on this page, read the privacy policy, and review the open-source repository before deciding whether to install anything.
What Save Sora Does
Save Sora helps users review and selectively download their own Sora published videos and drafts from their logged-in Sora account for backup.
Fetch From Your Existing Session
The extension opens Sora in your current Chrome profile and reads only your own published videos and drafts from the browser session you already control.
Review Before You Download
Search, sort, rename, and select the items you want to keep instead of downloading everything blindly.
Keep State Local
Theme, default source, sort order, renamed titles, selection state, and downloaded state are stored locally in the browser.
Open Source
The repository is public so contributors, reviewers, and users can inspect the implementation end to end.
Standalone Web App Status
The GitHub Pages site is intentionally limited to public-facing documentation right now.
- The standalone exporter web app has been disabled and removed from this project for now.
- The current GitHub Pages entry is meant to explain the extension, link to the repository, and provide a standalone privacy policy.
- If there is enough support for a standalone web experience later, it can be designed and built as a separate follow-up effort.
For the working product today, use the Chrome extension in this repository.
Privacy And Trust
Save Sora is designed so users can review and download their own files without sending their Sora library to a developer-owned backend.
- No developer-owned backend is used in the current build.
- No auth tokens or cookies are collected by the developer.
- No analytics or telemetry are sent by the current extension build.
- Extension state is stored locally with
chrome.storage.local.
