Download Threads Videos in HD & 4K on PC

Our Threads Downloader downloads videos in their original upload quality:

  • 720p HD — standard quality

  • 4K — when the original was uploaded in 4K

No compression. No quality loss. The file you download is identical to what was uploaded by the creator.

Troubleshooting: PC & Mac Download Issues

❌ "Save video as" option is greyed out (Chrome)

Try this workaround:

  1. Right-click the video → "Open video in new tab"
  2. In the new tab, right-click the video → "Save video as"

❌ Video downloads as .webm instead of .mp4

Some Threads videos are in WebM format. To convert:

  • Use VLC Media Player (free) — it plays WebM natively
  • Or use HandBrake (free) to convert WebM to MP4

❌ Download starts but file is corrupted

This usually means the video URL expired. Go back to our Threads Downloader, paste the URL again, and download fresh.

❌ No right-click option on Mac (Safari)

Hold Option key and click the video → "Download Linked File" will appear.
