How to save a Threads photo
Copy the link to the post
Tap the Share icon under the post and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the post's address from the browser.
Paste it above
Paste the link into the box. SaveThread starts looking for images straight away.
Download the images
Press Download JPG under the photo you want, or Download all as ZIP to save every image in the post at once.
Why not just take a screenshot?
A screenshot only captures what fits on your screen, at your screen's resolution, with the app's buttons and text around it. Downloading gets the original image file, usually much larger than your screen, with no cropping and no interface in the picture.
| Screenshot | SaveThread download | |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | Limited to your screen | Largest size Threads stores |
| Cropping | Often cut off or with app buttons | The full, clean image |
| Carousels | One screenshot per photo | All photos at once (ZIP) |
| File type | PNG, often large | JPG, as uploaded |
Downloading carousel posts with several photos
Threads lets people post several photos and videos together. SaveThread splits a carousel into separate cards, numbered in the same order as the post. Download only the ones you need, or use Download all as ZIP to get them in one file. The ZIP is built on your device, so nothing extra is uploaded anywhere.
If the carousel includes videos, they appear in the same list. You can also use the main Threads video downloader for video-only posts.
Image quality and format
Photos are saved as JPG, the format Threads uses for images. SaveThread picks the largest version available, and the card shows its real width and height. Very large uploads may be stored by Threads at a reduced size, and that stored size is the maximum any tool can download.
Can I download a Threads profile picture?
Not yet. This page works with photos inside posts. A profile picture viewer is planned. Until then, profile photos on Threads are only shown in a small size.
Using downloaded photos
Photos belong to the people who took them. Save them for personal use, and ask permission before posting someone else's photo. When you share, credit the creator by their @username.
