Frequently Asked Questions

How do I download a Telegram video?

TG Downloader supports three methods: add a Telegram video link manually, batch-download the history of a group or channel, or monitor a group and automatically download videos from new messages.

Is TG Downloader safe to use?

TG Downloader is a desktop Telegram video downloader that connects directly to Telegram. Your session and downloaded files stay on your computer, and media is not routed through our servers.

Is TG Downloader a Telegram client?

No. TG Downloader is a desktop tool for downloading Telegram videos, photos, and files. You still sign in with your own Telegram account to access the content you are allowed to view.

Can I download videos from private and restricted groups?

Yes. Even if group administrators enable 'Restrict saving content' or disable forwarding, TG Downloader can parse and save the original media locally as long as your Telegram account has access to view the chat.

Can I download videos from private groups?

TG Downloader has no software-imposed size limits. Telegram standard accounts support up to 2GB files and Telegram Premium accounts support up to 4GB files, both of which can be downloaded at full network speed.

Is there a file size limit?

TG Downloader does not add its own file size limit. The maximum size depends on Telegram and your account type.

How does the auto monitor feature work?

Once you set up monitoring for a group or channel, TG Downloader will automatically check for new content and download it to your specified folder.
