About Threads Download
A free, fast, no-friction tool for saving public Threads posts to your device.
What we do
Threads Download is a free online tool that lets you download videos, images, and full carousels from any public Threads post. Paste the post URL, click the button, and the file is saved to your device — no signup, no app to install, and no watermark stamped onto your downloads.
Why we built it
Threads is one of the fastest-growing social platforms in the world, but it doesn't have a native download button. People constantly find videos, photos, and creator carousels they want to save — to share with friends, archive for reference, or repurpose their own content — and there's no clean way to do it from the app or the website.
We built Threads Download to fill that gap with a tool that's:
- Genuinely free. We earn through unobtrusive display ads — never paid features, never gated downloads.
- Privacy-respecting. No login, no tracking pixels, no storing your URLs or downloads.
- Honest about quality. We pull the highest-resolution version Threads serves and pass it straight to your browser. No re-encoding, no watermarking.
- Mobile-first. The single biggest pain point we saw was tools that didn't work on iPhone. Threads Download does.
How it works (technically)
When you paste a Threads URL, our server fetches the public post page from Threads, parses its embedded JSON to find the original media URL, and validates that the URL belongs to Meta's CDN. We then stream that file from Threads' servers directly to your browser — your download is never stored or modified by us.
Because we never cache results, every request fetches a fresh, time-limited media URL straight from the source. If you wait too long between previewing and downloading, the link expires — we'll show a friendly message and you just hit "Get Media" again.
What we don't do
- We don't download private or login-gated posts. Threads Download is for public content only.
- We don't sell, share, or analyze your downloads.
- We don't operate at scale on someone else's behalf — automated/programmatic access is not permitted.
- We aren't affiliated with Threads or Meta Platforms, Inc., and we don't claim to be.
Our principles
A free tool only works if the people using it trust it. We try hard to be a tool you'd recommend to a friend: nothing creepy, nothing predatory, no dark patterns. If you ever feel Threads Download has crossed that line, please tell us — we take that feedback seriously.
Respecting creators
Every piece of content on Threads belongs to the person who posted it. Threads Download is a fetch-and-pass-through utility — please use the files you download for personal use only, and don't redistribute someone else's work without their permission. If you're a creator and want a download removed or blocked, see our DMCA policy.
