Telegram video downloader

TeleLink saves videos from Telegram chats, groups and channels at the quality they were posted in. Downloads run through your own account, so the 20 MB ceiling that stops bot downloaders never applies.

Videos come back as they were posted

Nothing is re-encoded on the way. TeleLink fetches the file Telegram is holding and sends it back into your chat, so a 1080p clip stays 1080p and keeps its own filename.

That covers the videos that are easy to miss, too: round video messages, and videos that arrived as part of an album.

Why bot downloaders stop at short clips

A bot reaches Telegram through the Bot API, and the Bot API will not hand over a file larger than 20 MB. That is Telegram's rule, not the bot's, and it is why so many downloader tools work on a clip and fail on the full video.

TeleLink never asks the Bot API for your files. It signs in as your account and fetches them the way your own phone does, which is what lets a long video through.

Quality, size and speed

  • Original quality

    The file you get back is the file that was posted. Nothing is compressed or resized on the way.

  • No ceiling of ours

    A free Telegram account handles files up to 2 GB, and Premium raises that to 4 GB per file. TeleLink adds no limit of its own.

  • Premium speed

    Downloads run faster on a Telegram Premium account, which shows most on long videos.

Save a video in three steps

Copy the link of the message the video is in: long-press it on your phone or right-click it on desktop, then choose “Copy Link”.

Send that link to the bot, or type dl followed by the link in any chat you like — the video comes back into the chat you typed it in.

The first time only, you connect your account. It takes about a minute and you never repeat it.

Video questions

How do I download a video from Telegram?

Open the message the video is in and copy its link. Send that link to the bot, or type dl followed by it in any chat. The video arrives in the chat where you sent the command. The full guide walks through it step by step.

Is there a size limit on videos?

Not from TeleLink. Your own Telegram account sets the ceiling: 2 GB on a free account, 4 GB per file with Premium.

Can I download a video from a private channel?

Yes, as long as the account you connected is a member of that channel. TeleLink reaches exactly what your account can reach.

What about view-once or disappearing videos?

If your account can open the message, TeleLink can save it. View-once videos come back to you as ordinary files you can keep.

Ready when you are.
