Threads Video Downloader
A threads video downloader is a browser tool that saves a public Threads clip or photo to your phone or computer.
Threads itself has no Save Video button. Creators still post clips you may own, have permission to keep, or need offline. This page shows how the tool works, what quality you get, and where it stops.
How do I download a Threads video?
Copy a public Threads post URL after the address bar shows /@name/post/, paste it in the box on this page, and tap Download Video. A /share/ link is not enough; wait until it changes. Pick the MP4 or photo that appears and save it with your browser. Private, deleted, or login-only posts will not load.
You do not install anything. You also do not hand over a Threads password.
The 4 steps that actually work
- Open the public post in the Threads app or on threads.com.
- On a computer, copy the address bar after it shows /@name/post/. In the app, tap Share, then Copy link.
- If you have a /share/ link, open it in a browser and wait until the URL changes to /@name/post/, then copy that.
- Tap Download Video, check the thumbnail, and save the MP4 or photo.

Links this tool accepts
- https://www.threads.com/@name/post/CODE
- https://www.threads.net/@name/post/CODE
- Short /t/CODE links that still open a public post
- Not /share/... app links. Open those in a browser and copy the address bar.
What quality does a Threads video download use?
The file is the highest MP4 Threads already published for that post, often 720p or 1080p. This tool does not upscale, compress, or invent 4K. If the creator uploaded a small clip, that is the file you get.
Here is the thing. Threads stores a few progressive MP4s per clip. We pick the best listed version.
| What you see on Threads | What you save | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Regular video post | MP4 | Usually 720p or 1080p |
| Short looping clip / GIF-style | MP4 | Silent loops still save as video |
| Photo | JPEG or WebP | Largest listed still |
| Carousel | One file per slide | Videos and photos can mix |
| Text-only post | Nothing | There is no media URL |
If you only care about resolution, read the Threads HD video downloader page.
Does this Threads downloader add a watermark?
No extra logo is stamped on the file. You get the media Threads already hosted. If the creator burned text into the clip, that stays. This site does not overlay branding on your download.
A lot of phone screen-recordings add an app bar. That is not this workflow.
Details and edge cases live on Threads video downloader without watermark.
Can I save Threads videos on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Paste the public link in Safari, Chrome, or any modern browser, then download. No official Threads save button is required. iPhone often lands the file in Files. Android usually uses Downloads.
And you do not need a sideloaded APK for the basic job.

Is it legal and safe to download Threads videos?
Saving a public file you own or have permission to keep is the intended use. This site does not bypass private accounts or logins. Copyright still applies. Do not scrape or republish other people’s work.
Let’s look at the line we will not cross. Private profiles stay private. Deleted posts stay gone.
- Public posts only
- No Threads login collected
- No claim that Meta runs this site
- You are responsible for how you use the file
Now that you know the limit, the tool is boring in a good way. Paste, save, leave.
Why does a public Threads link fail?
The usual causes are a private account, a deleted post, a truncated URL, or a text-only thread. CDN links also expire. Paste the full post URL again to fetch a fresh file. Rate limits can pause new lookups for a while.
That is not a mystery error. It is almost always access or a stale media URL.
Quick checks
- Open the link in a logged-out browser. If Threads asks you to log in, we cannot fetch it.
- Confirm the path includes /post/ and the short code.
- Retry once. Do not hammer the same broken link.

Threads downloader questions
What is a threads video downloader?
A threads video downloader is a web form that turns a public Threads post URL into an MP4 or image file you can save in your browser.
What link do I copy from the Threads app?
Open the post, tap Share, then Copy link. You need /@username/post/ in the URL. If the app copied /share/..., paste that into Safari or Chrome, wait for the post to open, and copy the address bar.
Can I download private Threads videos?
No. Private, restricted, and login-only posts are not available through this tool.
Are downloads unlimited?
No. New public lookups are paced so the service stays up. Cached repeats of the same post are cheap. There is no infinite scrape mode.
Will the MP4 have your logo?
No. The file is the media Threads already hosted. Creator-burned captions still appear.
Can I save photos and carousels too?
Yes. Photo posts and mixed carousels list each slide. See the Threads image downloader if you mainly want stills.
Is My Threads Downloader part of Meta?
No. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with Meta, Instagram, or Threads.
