How to Download Threads Videos for Free — Complete Step-by-Step Guide

How to Download Videos from Threads

Threads by Meta does not provide a native download button for videos. To save a Threads video to your device, you need to use a free online downloader tool like Threads Downloader (threadsdownloader.com).

This guide walks you through the complete process on every device.

Step 1: Copy the Threads Post URL

Open the Threads app on your phone or visit threads.net on your computer. Find the post containing the video you want to download.

On the Threads app (iPhone/Android):

• Tap the share icon (arrow or paper plane) on the post
• Tap "Copy Link" to copy the URL to your clipboard

On threads.net (desktop):

• Click on the post to open it
• Copy the URL from your browser address bar

The URL will look something like: https://www.threads.net/@username/post/ABC123

Step 2: Open Threads Downloader

Go to threadsdownloader.com in any web browser. The tool works on:

• Safari and Chrome on iPhone/iPad
• Chrome, Firefox, or Samsung Internet on Android
• Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on desktop

No app installation or account signup is required.

Step 3: Paste the URL and Load Media

Paste the copied Threads URL into the input field on the page. Click the "Load Videos" button.

Within 2-3 seconds, the tool will detect and display all available media from the Threads post — including videos, images, and GIFs.

Step 4: Select Quality and Download

Choose your preferred quality:

• HD — Original resolution (1080p or higher), larger file size
• SD — Standard definition, smaller file size

Click the Download button next to your preferred option.

Where Downloads Are Saved

• iPhone/iPad: The video saves to your Camera Roll in the Photos app. You may see a share sheet — tap "Save Video."
• Android: The video saves automatically to your Downloads folder.
• Windows/Mac/Linux: The video saves to your browser default download folder (usually ~/Downloads).

Tips for Better Downloads

• Use a strong internet connection for HD downloads to avoid interruptions
• Make sure the post is public — private accounts cannot be downloaded
• Copy the correct URL — it should contain "threads.net" in the address
• Try refreshing the page if the load button does not respond on the first try
