About ThreadsVid
ThreadsVid is an independent, free tool for downloading publicly available videos, photos, and carousels from Threads — built by developers who use the platform themselves.
Who We Are
ThreadsVid is operated by a small independent web development team. We are not affiliated with Meta, Instagram, or Threads in any way. We built this tool because we kept running into the same problem ourselves: Threads has no native download button, and the workarounds that existed were slow, ad-heavy, or required sign-ups that no one should have to make.
We also build and operate several other social media download tools including downloaders for Reddit, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Pinterest. ThreadsVid launched as Threads grew into a serious content platform and creators started asking for a reliable way to save their own posts.
Questions or issues can be sent directly to our support address: [email protected]. We typically respond within 24 hours.
What ThreadsVid Does
ThreadsVid lets you paste any public Threads post URL and download the media it contains — videos as MP4, photos as JPEG, and full carousels as a ZIP file. The tool fetches media directly from Threads' content delivery network, so you get the original file at the resolution the creator uploaded, with no recompression or quality loss.
What We Do Not Do
We want to be explicit about this:
We do not store, cache, or retain any media you download. Files pass directly from Threads' CDN to your browser.
We do not collect personal information. No account, no email, no name is required to use the tool.
We do not track which URLs you paste. Request data is not logged or retained after the response is sent.
We do not enable access to private or restricted content. Only publicly accessible posts can be processed.
We do not add watermarks, branding, or any modifications to downloaded files.
Responsible Use
ThreadsVid is designed for legitimate personal use: saving your own posts for backup, downloading reference material for offline viewing, or repurposing content you created and own. We expect users to respect the rights of content creators and comply with Threads' community guidelines.
Downloading someone else's content and redistributing it commercially, removing creator attribution, or using it in ways the creator has not consented to are not uses we endorse or support. If you are unsure whether a particular use is appropriate, we recommend reading our guide on the legal aspects of downloading Threads content.
If you are a content creator and believe your work is being misused, please reach out through our contact page and we will address your concern promptly.
How It Works Technically
The front end is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It communicates with a backend service running as a Cloudflare Worker — a serverless function that runs at edge locations worldwide, which is why fetch times are typically fast regardless of where you are.
When you paste a Threads URL, the Worker fetches the public post page, parses the embedded media metadata from the page source, and returns the direct CDN URLs to your browser. Your browser then downloads the media file directly — the Worker never buffers or stores the file itself.
For carousel downloads, JSZip runs client-side in your browser. All files are fetched in parallel through a CORS proxy and assembled into a ZIP locally before the download is triggered — no ZIP file ever touches our servers.
