What is ThreadIO.net?
ThreadIO.net is an online utility that enables downloading media from public Threads posts. When you provide a Threads post URL, our system retrieves the media files and makes them available for download. We function as a bridge between you and the content—we don't save, host, or keep copies of any media. Currently, ThreadIO works exclusively with Threads posts. Disclaimer: ThreadIO is independent and not associated with Threads, Meta, or any related companies.
Is ThreadIO.net free to use?
Absolutely. ThreadIO is 100% free with zero costs, no premium tiers, and no payment options. There are no hidden fees or subscription plans. Everything we offer is available at no charge. No account creation is required—you can start using ThreadIO right away without any sign-up process, email, or personal details.
How does ThreadIO.net work?
Here's how it works: You paste a Threads post link into our tool. Our system extracts the media URLs from that post. We present download links for the videos and images. Everything happens on-the-fly—we don't archive, cache, or keep any files on our servers. Each request is processed fresh without storing results. When you download something, it goes directly from Threads to your device.
Why isn't my request working?
Several things could cause problems: Make sure you copied the complete Threads post URL correctly. Verify the post is public (we can't access private or restricted posts). The post might have been removed or deleted. Threads might have changed their website structure. Check that your internet connection is stable. Try refreshing the page, using a different web browser, or clearing your browser's cache. For mobile devices, ensure a stable connection and try switching to desktop mode if needed. Make sure you're using a recent browser version (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) with JavaScript enabled.
What quality is the downloaded content?
The downloaded files match the quality that Threads provides for that specific post. We don't reduce, compress, or alter the original files in any way—you get the exact same quality as uploaded. However, we also can't improve quality beyond what Threads makes available. If a post was uploaded in lower resolution, that's what you'll get.
What data do you collect and store?
We keep data collection to an absolute minimum and don't store any of your content. What we don't track: Your name, email, or any personal details. Threads account information. The specific URLs you paste. What you download. We don't save, cache, or keep any media files on our servers. What we might gather: General website statistics (like page views) through analytics tools. Non-identifying technical data such as browser type. We take privacy seriously and use standard web security practices.
Is it legal to use ThreadIO.net?
The legality depends on how you use it. You're responsible for following all relevant laws, including copyright rules, Threads' terms of service, and regulations in your country. You must have the right to download any content you access—this means getting permission from the creator, understanding fair use laws, and respecting intellectual property. ThreadIO is intended for individual, personal use only. Commercial usage is not allowed. Violating Threads' terms could get your Threads account suspended. We don't support copyright violations, and users who violate laws assume all legal risks.
What are the limitations?
ThreadIO has limitations: We can't access posts that require login or are private. We can't bypass Threads' security or authentication. We can't promise every post will work, especially if Threads updates their systems. We don't provide help with Threads account problems. We can't improve video or image quality beyond the original. We can't give legal advice or guarantee the service will always be available. Social media platforms frequently update their code, which may temporarily affect our tool until we update it.
