Quick, private, and free — save public Threads photos in the highest quality the post provides.
With Thredra, saving photos is a simple flow: Paste → Preview → Save. Thredra lists the image variants exposed by the post (original or downscaled sizes; formats like JPG/PNG/WebP) so you can keep the sharpest version. It works entirely in your browser on iPhone, Android, and desktop — no app or signup.
Resolution mirrors the source. If a post doesn’t expose an “original” or larger size, Thredra won’t fabricate one. Private or restricted posts aren’t supported.
