Quick version
The short answer, if you are in a hurry. Device-by-device guides follow further down.

Your options
There is more than one way to save SoundCloud music. Here is what each one gives you, so you can pick the right one.
Way 1
Some artists turn on downloads for a track. On the SoundCloud website, open the track, click the More (…) button and choose Download file. You get the file the artist uploaded.
Way 2
A SoundCloud Go or Go+ subscription lets you save tracks for offline listening inside the SoundCloud app. The songs stay locked in the app and stop playing when the subscription ends.
Way 3
Paste the track link into SCSaver and save it as an MP3 file. The file is yours: play it in any app, move it to any device and keep it as long as you like.
Tip: if the artist has turned on SoundCloud's own download button, use it first. It gives you their original file, often in better quality than the stream.

Good to know
Yes, in a few ways. SoundCloud lets artists add a download button, and its paid Go plans allow offline listening inside the app. To download a SoundCloud song that has no download button and keep it as a normal file, you can use a free downloader like SCSaver.
Liking a track or adding it to a playlist only saves it to your SoundCloud account. You still need the internet to play it, and it disappears if the uploader removes it. Downloading gives you an actual file on your device that plays anywhere, even offline.
Many producers offer free downloads to grow their audience. Look for "free download" in the track title or description, or search SoundCloud for "free download" along with the genre you like. These are the best tracks to download, because the artist wants you to.
Download the songs you want while you have Wi-Fi, then play them from your Downloads folder or music app with no connection at all. It is ideal for flights, commutes and saving mobile data.
To download a whole SoundCloud playlist or album, paste its link instead of a single track. All songs in the list appear, and you can save them one by one, or as a single ZIP with a Supporter pass.
Only download music you are allowed to keep, such as free downloads, your own uploads and tracks shared with permission. Downloads are for personal listening, not for re-uploading or selling.
Copy the song's link on SoundCloud, paste it into the box at the top of this page and press Download. Then press the download button under the song to save it as an MP3.
Yes. Downloading a SoundCloud song as an MP3 on SCSaver is free and needs no account. If the artist has turned on SoundCloud's own download button, that is free too.
Copy the link in the SoundCloud app, paste it on this page in Safari and tap Download. The song is saved in the Files app, inside the Downloads folder.
Copy the track address from your browser, paste it here and click Download. The MP3 goes to your Downloads folder on Windows or Mac.
The SoundCloud app doesn't save files to your phone. It only offers offline listening inside the app with a paid Go plan. To get a file, use a downloader in your browser.
No. You don't need a SoundCloud account or an SCSaver account to download a public track.
Yes. As long as the track plays publicly, you can save it with SCSaver, even when the artist has turned off downloads.
To your device's Downloads folder. On iPhone that is in the Files app, on Android it is the Download folder, and on a computer it is the Downloads folder in your user account.
With SCSaver, yes. There are no pop-ups, no installers and no extensions, and we never ask for your SoundCloud login.
