How to download from Threads

Paste the post link. This one takes a few seconds — here is why.

By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.

How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the post address

    From the share menu, or the browser bar. threads.com and threads.net both work.

  2. 2

    Paste it and press Start

    Expect a few seconds longer than the other sites here.

  3. 3

    Save

    One video row, plus MP3 and WAV.

Why this one is slower

A Threads post is assembled by JavaScript after the page arrives. Fetch the HTML the way every other site here is fetched and you get a shell: the markup has no video in it, because at that moment the video does not exist yet.

So Threads goes through a headless Chromium on our side. The page is opened for real, every file it requests is watched, and the largest piece of media it asks for is the one taken. That costs a few seconds per link and a container that has to stay running — and it is the only honest way to read a page that is not there until a browser builds it.

Only two platforms here work this way. Everything else is read directly, which takes no measurable time at all.

What cannot be read

A private profile needs an account to view, and this never signs in as anyone. A deleted post is gone from Meta’s side too.

Frequently asked questions

Do threads.net links work?

Yes, both the .com and the .net domain are accepted.

Why does it take longer than Instagram?

Instagram’s post data is in the page as served; Threads’ is not, so a browser has to build it first.

Does the sound come with it?

Yes, inside the MP4.
