Download Threads video — free online tool

Save a public Threads video as MP4 at its original size, pick a smaller step like 480p, or extract the soundtrack as MP3, M4A, Opus, WAV or FLAC.

What to know

Threads videos are read from the post page the way a viewer would see it. When several video files are present, the one with the largest pixel area is treated as the original, and its width, height and length are what the preview prints.

Choose Original quality for the untouched MP4. Smaller steps, listed by their short edge such as 720p, 480p or 360p, are offered only below the source size and only when the service is able to produce them, so a short square clip may show fewer steps than a tall one.

The audio section matters on Threads because many clips are spoken updates, announcements or interviews. The estimated size of an audio file is bitrate times duration divided by eight: a 90-second clip at 128 kbps is about 1.4 MB, while the same clip as WAV is closer to 15 MB.

Many Threads videos are reposted from other apps and may carry someone else’s footage or music. Saving a video you posted yourself, or one the owner has allowed you to keep, is straightforward; using a stranger’s clip in your own content needs their permission, and a clip with faces needs consent from those people for any new context.

Quick answers

How is the original video chosen when a post contains more than one clip?

The file with the largest pixel area becomes Original quality, and ties are broken by the longer duration. The other clips appear as alternative sources for the lower steps.

How big will the MP3 of a 90-second Threads clip be?

At 128 kbps it is about 1.4 MB, since size is bitrate times duration divided by eight. At 320 kbps the same clip is roughly 3.4 MB.

Why does the video preview sometimes take longer than for other networks?

Threads video sources are read from the rendered post page, which needs a moment to load before the file addresses become available.
