Download public Threads videos and photos
The socials.download Threads downloader saves supported public Threads videos and photos directly to your device. Paste a public Threads post link and download the available file without creating a socials.download account. Private profiles are not supported.
Supported Threads link formats
- https://www.threads.net/@<user>/post/<id> — a Threads post
- https://www.threads.com/@<user>/post/<id> — also accepted
Paste any of these on the home page.
What works, and what doesn't
- Videos: supported
- Photos: supported
- Private Content: not supported
Limitations
- Public Threads posts only.
- Private profiles are not supported.
Troubleshooting
- Nothing resolves.
- Threads profiles inherit Instagram's privacy setting. If the linked Instagram account is private, the Threads post is not reachable either.
Mobile and desktop
On desktop the file downloads straight to your downloads folder. On a phone, saving opens your device’s native share sheet so you can put the file in Photos or Files. Either way there’s no app to install and no socials.download account.
File quality and watermarks
socials.download does not add a watermark of its own and does not intentionally transcode or recompress the file returned by the source endpoint. Whether the file already carries Threads or creator branding depends on the media Threads serves.
Copyright and authorization
Download only content you own, have permission to save, or are otherwise legally entitled to use. socials.download does not bypass private accounts, paywalls, login walls, or DRM.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a Threads account?
- No. Public posts only, and no login on either side.
- Why does a Threads post fail when the profile looks public?
- Threads privacy follows the linked Instagram account. If that account is private, the post is not publicly reachable.
