I post on Threads a fair bit, and I kept hitting the same small walls: no way to save a video, no clean screenshot, and reposting from X meant retyping everything. The sites that promised to help were buried in ads or wanted a login for a five-second job.
So I built ThreadsTools, a set of small, single-purpose tools for Threads. Free, no login, no watermark.
What's in it
- Download the video, photos, GIF, or audio from any public Threads post
- A Threads to MP3 converter that pulls just the audio
- A screenshot maker, plus quote-card and mockup generators
- Converters that turn an X tweet or a LinkedIn post into a Threads draft
A couple of build notes
The media downloads stream straight from the CDN to the browser, because Meta's CDN blocks server-side fetches anyway. The MP4-to-GIF and MP4-to-MP3 conversions run client-side with ffmpeg.wasm, so nothing gets uploaded. The whole thing runs on Cloudflare Workers, mostly because there are no egress fees, which is what makes a free downloader that streams video affordable to run.

Love the focus on solving real pain points instead of packing everything into one app. Running ffmpeg.wasm client-side is a smart choice too—keeps things fast and privacy-friendly.
