4K videos are rare on Threads but supported when available.

Is It Legal to Download Threads Videos?

Downloading public Threads videos for personal use is generally accepted. This includes:

Saving videos for offline viewing.
Backing up your own Threads posts.
Saving educational or news content.

You should not download Threads videos to:

Re-upload them as your own work.
Use them commercially without permission.
Share copyrighted content publicly.

Always respect the original creator's rights and copyright laws in your country.

Can You Download Private Threads Posts?

No. ThreadsDownload only works with public Threads posts. If an account is set to private, the post cannot be downloaded.

This is a privacy protection by Meta and applies to all third-party downloaders.

Common Issues and Fixes

Failed to fetch content error

This usually means the post is private, deleted, or the link is wrong. Make sure the post is from a public account, the link starts with https://www.threads.net/, and the post still exists.

Video Won't Save on iPhone

On iOS, you must long-press the video preview and select Save to Photos. Tapping won't trigger the save.

Download Speed Is Slow

Speed depends on your internet connection, not the tool. Try switching from mobile data to WiFi, closing background apps, or using a different browser.
