FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions people ask before downloading from private Telegram channels.
Is this a Telegram media downloader or just a link parser?
It is both. The homepage lets you test direct Telegram links quickly, while the browser extension handles the stronger download path for private channels, disabled downloads, files, and larger batches.
Can it download videos from private Telegram channels?
Yes, the extension is built for private Telegram channels that you can already open in Telegram Web. Once the message is visible in your browser, TG Downloader can detect and save the available media.
What if Telegram says download is disabled?
That usually means the native Telegram save path is blocked. Open the message in Telegram Web and continue with the TG Downloader extension, which is designed for download-disabled and restricted-post scenarios.
Can it save Telegram files and documents, not only videos?
Yes. TG Downloader works as a Telegram file downloader as well as a video downloader. It can handle documents, images, audio, and mixed media posts when Telegram Web exposes those resources.
Do I need a bot, API key, or Telegram password?
No. You do not need a Telegram bot, API ID, or account password for the extension flow. It works from the Telegram Web session already open in your browser.
Can it batch download media from a channel?
Yes. The extension supports batch downloads, so you can queue multiple videos, files, images, or albums instead of saving each item one by one.
Does it work for large files over 1GB?
Yes, but the extension is the recommended path for large files. It is more reliable for long-running downloads and much better suited to Telegram videos or documents over 1GB.
What is the difference between the website and the extension?
The website is optimized for quickly testing a direct Telegram link. The extension is the full download tool for private channels, download-disabled messages, larger files, and batch media jobs.
