Download Threads photo — free online tool

Save the pictures from a public Threads post at the largest size the page lists, as a single image or as a ZIP of up to 20 files.

What to know

Photo mode is for posts whose attachment is a picture or a gallery. The service reads the images shown in the post and ignores anything that is clearly not content: profile pictures, recognised by their description, and graphics under 320 pixels on the long side.

For each picture the page offers several widths. The service takes the highest one, so the pixel size printed in the preview is the native resolution, not the downscaled version your feed displays. Image dimensions are read from the file header, which is why a width and height appear even before you download.

One photo arrives as a plain file in its own format, while several are packed into a ZIP in the order they appear. There is no quality ladder and no audio, because still images have nothing to transcode.

Photographs are protected by copyright from the moment they are taken, and a face in a picture is personal data in many countries. Keep a copy of your own photos or of work you are licensed to use; before you reuse a stranger’s photograph, ask for written permission and mention how it will be used.

How to use Download Threads photo — free online tool
  1. Copy the link of the Threads post that shows the picture, such as https://www.threads.net/@creator/post/Cx1AbCdEfGh.
  2. Paste it and look for Image in the preview card, together with a pixel size such as 1440 × 1800.
  3. Keep the single Original quality row; there is no other row to choose for pictures.
  4. Tick the rights box, press Prepare selected file, and open the downloaded JPG or the .zip.

Quick answers

Why does the preview show a pixel size before I download anything?

The service reads the image header from the first part of the file and reports the width and height from it. That is how a size can be shown without fetching the whole picture.

Does a screenshot posted on Threads count as a photo here?

Yes, any attached image of at least 320 pixels on the long side is treated as a picture, whatever it shows. Check who made the original before you reuse it.

Can I convert the saved picture to another format on this page?

No, files keep the format Threads serves. Use the image converter tools if you need another type.
