Add tg-dl from the Chrome Web Store. Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Arc.
Open Telegram Web

Built for people who save a lot of videos
One-Click Downloads
A download icon appears on every video message in Telegram Web. Click it and the video saves straight to your computer — no copy-pasting links, no external tools.
Original Quality, No Re-Encoding
tg-dl fetches the exact file Telegram stores. What you download is bit-for-bit what was uploaded — full resolution, original audio, no watermarks.
Works on Restricted Content
Channels with saving disabled? Private groups? If you can watch it in Telegram Web, tg-dl can download it — the file streams through your own session.
Telegram Web K & A
Full support for both flavors of Telegram Web: web.telegram.org/k and web.telegram.org/a. Switch versions freely — tg-dl follows you.
Batch Downloads
Select multiple messages in multi-select mode and download them one after another. Perfect for archiving a whole channel's worth of clips.
Private by Design
Video bytes never touch our servers. tg-dl streams media directly from Telegram to your browser using your own logged-in session.
The downloader that never sees your videos
Most Telegram video downloaders route files through third-party servers, which is slow and exposes your content. tg-dl works differently: it hooks into Telegram Web itself and downloads media through your own logged-in session, exactly the way Telegram Web plays it. The file travels from Telegram's servers directly to your computer. tg-dl's servers only manage your account and download quota — they never receive, store, or process a single byte of video.
Because downloads use your own session, anything you can watch in Telegram Web can be saved: public channels, private groups you belong to, and channels where the owner has disabled forwarding and saving. Free accounts include a daily download allowance, and paid plans remove the limit entirely.
