Telegram Video Downloader FAQ - Channels & Messages

Two formats: (1) t.me/channelname/123 (public channel post link), (2) t.me/c/1234567890/123 (private channel invite preview link). Both download the video attached to that message.

Only if you have a join link that gives the preview (the t.me/c/... URLs work without login for some channels). Channels that require app-based membership and have no web preview cannot be downloaded without app login.

Telegram supports up to 2GB file uploads for free users, 4GB for Premium. The download preserves the original file - if the uploader sent 1080p H.264, you get 1080p H.264. If they sent 4K MP4, you get 4K MP4.

Yes. Telegram videos download with synchronized audio. The original file is preserved - no audio merge needed.

Open this page in Safari, paste the t.me URL, tap Download. The video saves to Files - tap "Save to Photos" to put it in your camera roll.

No. Voice messages (.ogg files) are a separate format. Our tool handles video files only. For voice messages, use the desktop Telegram app and right-click "Save As" on the message.

Three causes: (1) the channel message was deleted or the URL changed, (2) the channel is private and our server is not a member, (3) Telegram is rate-limiting the IP - wait a few minutes and try again.

No. Each message has its own URL and needs to be downloaded separately. Use batch mode and paste multiple t.me URLs - up to 20 per batch works reliably.

Yes. Telegram serves the original file the uploader attached. No watermark, no recompression, no username overlay. The file matches what the sender originally uploaded.

Whatever the uploader used. Typically MP4 (H.264) for video, but Telegram accepts .mov, .webm, .mkv, .avi, and others. The download preserves the original format - your phone may prompt to convert on save.

Telegram allows public message access for web preview purposes. Heavy automated scraping from one IP gets rate-limited - if you see repeated failures, slow down to 1 download per 10 seconds.

Downloading for personal offline viewing is generally fine. Re-distributing copyrighted Telegram content, monetizing someone else's channel videos, or scraping paid courses violates Telegram ToS. Respect the original uploader.
