Threads grew into a real platform, and real platforms accumulate videos you want to keep — hot takes with receipts, clips from journalists, moments from live events. Meta being Meta, there is no download option anywhere in the app. The bookmark-style save ties the post to your account forever. The downloader route frees it.
How to download a Threads video
- Open the post in Threads and tap the share icon → Copy link. Threads links look like
threads.net/@user/post/XXXX. - Paste it into our Threads downloader and press Download.
- Save the MP4 in the quality offered.
Things to know
- Multi-video posts give you each video separately.
- Instagram cross-posts — a Threads video that originated on Instagram may also be fetchable from its Instagram post, sometimes at higher quality.
- Deleted posts vanish from Threads like everywhere else; save while they exist.
Frequently asked questions
Do threads.com links work?
Yes — Meta has used both threads.net and threads.com domains; both resolve.
Can I download from private accounts?
No. Only public posts are accessible.
Is this different from downloading on Instagram?
The mechanics are similar, but Threads links must be resolved through Threads' own system — paste each platform's link into its own downloader for best results.
Keep the receipts
Open the Threads downloader or paste any link on the home page.
