Paste the link to a public Threads post below, and this pulls out the attached video so you can save the MP4 to your device — no account, no extension, nothing to install.
Please double check the Threads URL and ensure the post is publicly viewable.
Save any public Threads video to your device in under a minute. No signup needed.
In the Threads app, or on threads.net / threads.com, open the post with the video, tap the share icon, and choose "Copy Link." This also works for Threads GIFs — they're actually short MP4 clips, so they come through the same way as a regular video.
The tool reads the post and pulls out the video file attached to it.
If more than one resolution is available, choose one, then click Download File Now. The file saves through your browser's normal download flow — check your Downloads folder if you're not sure where it landed.
This tool is built around the video in a single Threads post. If that post has more than one video, or a mix of photos and video, you'll see each file listed separately so you can pick the one you actually want. It doesn't add its own compression on top of what Threads already served for that post — whatever resolution the post has on Threads is what you'll get here. Threads doesn't stamp a watermark onto video posts, so the file matches what the original poster uploaded.
If a post is mostly photos and only incidentally has a video mixed in, the Threads Image Downloader is built around saving those images individually rather than working through a video-first interface.
This tool works with public Threads post URLs that you can copy directly from the Threads app or from threads.com and threads.net on the web. Simply paste any public post URL into the downloader at the top of this page.
The tool only retrieves videos from posts that are publicly visible without logging in. If you can't view a post while logged out, the downloader cannot access it either. Private posts, restricted accounts, and deleted posts cannot be downloaded.
Mobile (iPhone & Android): Video files are a lot bigger than photos or profile pictures, so a longer or higher-resolution clip can use noticeably more of your data plan than a quick image save — worth switching to Wi-Fi first for anything more than a few seconds long. On iPhone, Safari treats a video download differently from a photo one: you'll usually get a "Save Video" option that goes straight into your Photos app, rather than the "Save Image" prompt. On Android, video files typically land in a Movies or Downloads folder depending on your browser and file manager, so check both if you can't find one afterward.
Desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux): The practical difference from a photo download is mainly file size — a full video takes a moment longer to write to disk, and your browser will show download progress rather than finishing instantly. Nothing else about the flow changes based on OS.
The video quality available for download depends entirely on the quality of the original post on Threads. ThreadsGrab retrieves the video at the same resolution Threads served for that post, without upscaling or re-encoding. If a post was uploaded at a lower resolution, that's the resolution available to download. Some Threads posts include multiple quality options, which are displayed separately for you to choose from.
Videos download in standard MP4 format (.mp4 file extension), which plays on smartphones, tablets, and computers without requiring additional software or format conversion.
ThreadsGrab does not add its own branding, logo, or watermark to downloaded videos. The video file you receive is the same video from the original Threads post. However, if the original post already contains on-screen text, usernames, logos, or watermarks created by the content author, those elements remain part of the video file, as they are part of the original content. ThreadsGrab cannot remove watermarks or branding from the original source video.
Downloading a video doesn't automatically give you the right to do whatever you want with it. In general, you should only download content you created yourself, have explicit permission to save, or otherwise have a legitimate, lawful reason to keep a copy of. Saving a file to your device is a different thing from having the right to repost it, redistribute it, use it commercially, claim it as your own, or strip the original creator's attribution — those uses typically still require the creator's permission.
This isn't legal advice, and rules can vary depending on where you live and what you plan to do with the video. When in doubt, ask the creator or check Threads' own terms before reusing someone else's content.
Everything you need to know about downloading Threads videos with ThreadsGrab.
No. If the account or post isn't visible to someone logged out of Threads, this tool can't retrieve it, and it isn't built to get around that.
No — Threads doesn't add one to video posts, so the file matches the original.
Usually one of: the link is incomplete, the post was deleted or edited since you copied it, or the account is private. Recopy the link directly from the post and try again.
It shouldn't be — the tool pulls the file at the resolution Threads served for that post rather than compressing it further.
No. You need a link to a public post, copyable from the app or from threads.net / threads.com in a browser. The downloader itself doesn't require login.
Yes — Threads GIFs are short MP4 files, so they download the same way a regular video does.
Yes, through Safari or any other browser on the phone — no app needed.
