Everything you need to save Telegram videos
tg-dl turns Telegram Web into a proper video library. Here's the full rundown.
Downloading
One-click download button
Every video message in Telegram Web gets a gradient download icon injected right onto the bubble. One click starts the download — no menus, no right-click tricks.
Original file quality
tg-dl pulls the file in 1 MB chunks straight from Telegram and reassembles it locally. No re-encoding, no compression, no watermark — the bytes are exactly what was uploaded.
Live progress
Watch chunk-by-chunk progress as the file downloads. Large videos show exactly how far along they are.
Batch mode
Tick multiple messages in multi-select mode and tg-dl downloads them sequentially, hands-free.
Custom file naming
Define a naming template in the options page so saved files are organized the way you like, automatically.
Download by t.me link
Paste a public t.me link on the tg-dl website. The site fetches the video's metadata, then hands the job to the extension, which opens the message and downloads it.
Compatibility
Telegram Web K and A
Works on both web.telegram.org/k (webk, fully supported) and web.telegram.org/a (webz). The adapter layer hides the differences between the two versions.
All Chromium browsers
Install once from the Chrome Web Store and use it in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, or Arc.
Restricted channels & private groups
Downloads run through your own Telegram Web session, so any video you can personally watch can be saved — including content with forwarding and saving disabled.
Privacy & Account
Zero server-side video handling
tg-dl servers store your account, quota, and orders — nothing else. Video bytes flow from Telegram to your browser and never transit our infrastructure.
Works offline from our servers
If the tg-dl API is unreachable, paying members keep downloading based on their cached membership status. Your workflow never depends on our uptime.
Free tier included
Every account gets a daily free download allowance. Upgrade to monthly, quarterly, or lifetime to remove the cap.
