Tracking parameters like ?xmt=... are fine — we strip them automatically.
What to expect
Profile URLs work too — paste a public threads.com/@username link to preview and save its most recent posts with media, or paste a direct post link from Share → Copy link for one specific item. Our web and mobile copy-link guides show where Share → Copy link lives; save attachments to your downloads folder or camera roll.
Media types we handle on Threads: Posts, Videos.

Common questions
threads.com vs threads.net?
Both hostnames work for the same public posts. Copy whichever threads.net or threads.com URL your browser or share sheet provides — tracking query params are stripped automatically.
How do I copy a Threads link on mobile or web?
On phone: open the post, tap Share → Copy link. On desktop: copy the address bar on threads.com or threads.net. Our mobile and web guides walk through each step before you paste the URL here.
Can I save a video and image from one post?
If the post has multiple attachments, the preview lists each file. Save the ones you need individually.
Do I need a Threads login to download?
No account on SMDownloader — but the post must be public. If you must sign in to view it in a browser, our servers cannot fetch the media either.
Looking for a Bluesky (bsky) downloader instead?
For bsky.app posts (not profile URLs), use the Bluesky downloader hub — same paste-and-preview flow, different hostname and format tools.
Why won't my Threads URL download?
Common causes: private or deleted posts, text-only threads, or an incomplete URL. Confirm the post opens in an incognito window, paste the full Share → Copy link URL, then retry once.
