What is Threads — and why you need a downloader
iPhone doesn't let you long-press a Threads video to save it, and iOS routes browser downloads into the Files app rather than straight to Photos — which trips people up. This guide walks through the exact Safari steps: paste the link here, download the MP4, then use Share → Save Video in the Files app to get the clip into your camera roll.

Private by design
We never ask you to log in, and no files are stored on our servers. Your link is processed in memory and the media streams straight from Threads' CDN to your device. Nothing is saved, tracked, or shared.
Frequently asked questions
Where do Threads videos save on iPhone?+
Safari saves the MP4 into the Files app under Downloads. To get it into your camera roll, open Files → Downloads, tap the video, then Share → Save Video.
Do I need an app to download Threads videos on iPhone?+
No. This works entirely in Safari (or Chrome) on iOS. There's nothing to install from the App Store.
The download didn't start in Safari — what do I do?+
Make sure you tapped the Download button and confirmed Safari's "Download" prompt. Check the download arrow next to the address bar, then look in Files → Downloads.
Do I need to log in or give a password?+
No. You never log in and we never ask for a password or any account access. You only paste a public link — that's the entire interaction.
Do I need to install any software or an app?+
No. This is a web tool that runs entirely in your browser. There's nothing to download or install, and it works the same on a phone, tablet, or computer.
Is it really free?+
Yes, completely free with no limit on how many downloads you can make. There's no account, no subscription, and no watermark added to your files.
Is it safe, and do you collect my data?+
Processing passes through our server so we can reach Threads, but we don't store your links, the media, or any logs, and we never ask you to sign in. Nothing about what you download is saved, tracked, or shared.
Can I download from a private Threads account?+
No. This only works with public posts and profiles — the same content anyone can see in a browser without logging in. Private accounts are protected by Threads and we don't bypass that.
Is there a watermark on the files?+
No. You get the original file exactly as Threads serves it — no logo and no quality loss from us.
