A ThreadsDP Alternative: ThreadSave
ThreadsDP is a name people search for when they want one specific thing: a Threads profile picture at full size. Threads itself only ever shows the DP as a tiny circle — there is no tap-to-enlarge and no save button — so a dedicated DP downloader is the usual way out. If that is the job you came to do, you do not need any particular site to do it. ThreadSave's DP downloader takes a profile link or a plain @username and returns the avatar uncropped, in the highest resolution Threads serves.
To be clear, ThreadSave is not affiliated with ThreadsDP. This page is for people comparing tools for the same task — here is how it works on ThreadSave, step by step.
How to download a Threads DP with ThreadSave
- 1
Open the Threads DP downloader — it is free and runs in any browser, on a phone or a computer.
- 2
Paste the profile URL, or just type the @username — you do not need a link at all. The tool resolves either one to the same public account.

The full-size DP appears as a preview right on the page. Look at it first, then press Download to save the HD file to your device.
What ThreadSave adds
Preview before you save
The uncropped avatar renders on the page before any file touches your device — useful when you only wanted a closer look, not a download.
No watermark, original file
You get the exact image file Threads serves, with nothing stamped on top and no re-compression. What the account uploaded is what you save.
More than the DP when you need it
The same @username also works on the whole-profile tool, which pulls an account's recent feed photos and videos and bundles them into a single ZIP.
No login, nothing stored
You never sign in, and no files or links are kept on our servers — every lookup passes straight through to your browser.
Prefer to start from the main tool?
The ThreadSave home page handles Threads videos and photos the same way — paste a post link, preview it on the page, and download the original MP4 or image.
Go to ThreadSaveOnly after videos? See the Threadster alternative and ThreadsDL alternative guides.
Frequently asked questions
Is ThreadSave the same site as ThreadsDP?+
No. ThreadSave is an independent tool and has no connection to ThreadsDP. People search both names for the same reason — saving a Threads profile picture at full size — and this page exists to show how that job works on ThreadSave.
What size is the profile picture I get?+
Threads serves avatars at up to 640×640 pixels, and ThreadSave returns the largest version available, uncropped. That is the original file, not an upscale — we never invent pixels that are not there.
Do I need the profile URL, or is the username enough?+
Either works. Paste the full profile link, or type just the @username into the same box — both resolve to the same account, as long as the profile is public.
