Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most about downloading videos, photos, and GIFs from Threads — how it works, what devices are supported, and what the tool deliberately won't do.
How do I download a Threads video?
Copy the link to a public Threads post, paste it into the box on this page, and click "Download Video." Once the preview loads, pick a quality and click the download button to save the MP4 file.
Is the Threads Video Downloader free?
Yes. Basic downloads are free to use, supported by on-page advertising.
Do I need a Threads account?
No. You never need to log in or provide your Threads username or password to use this tool.
Can I download Threads videos on Android?
Yes, the tool works in any modern mobile browser on Android, including Chrome and Samsung Internet. Just paste the post link and tap Download.
Can I download Threads videos on iPhone?
Yes, it works in Safari and Chrome on iOS. After downloading, the video is typically saved to your Files app or Photos, depending on your browser settings.
What video format is supported?
Videos are provided as standard MP4 files, which play on virtually every device and media player.
Can I download private Threads videos?
No. This tool only processes posts that are already publicly visible. It does not bypass login walls, private-account restrictions, or any other access control.
Where are downloaded videos saved?
Files are saved to your device’s default download location — typically the "Downloads" folder on desktop, or your device’s Files/Gallery app on mobile, depending on your browser settings.
Why is my Threads video not downloading?
This usually means the post is private, has been deleted, doesn’t contain a video, or Threads has temporarily changed how it serves media. Double-check the link is public and try again in a few minutes.
