Telegram downloader bots
What a bot sees when you forward it something.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
A bot reads everything you send it
Forwarding a post to a bot hands that post — and your user id, and the forward chain — to whoever runs it. It arrives on their server, and what happens to it after that is entirely a matter of their word.
For a public channel post that is a strange trade: the content is already public, so you have given away the private part of the interaction in exchange for something that needed no identity at all.
The ones that ask for more
Some services ask you to log in with your phone number, scan a QR code, or paste a session string. That is not a bot, it is a request for control of your Telegram account, and no download is worth it.
A bot you add to a channel you administer is a different thing and can be perfectly legitimate — but it only works where you already hold the rights to add it.
What this page does instead
It reads the public web preview of a t.me post. No account, no forwarding, no identity: the only thing that reaches our server is the address you pasted.
The limit is honest and it is Telegram’s, not ours: posts over their web size limit are not published to the web at all. Measured across twelve consecutive posts on one channel, five were served and six were over it.
Frequently asked questions
Are download bots against Telegram’s rules?
Bots themselves are a supported feature. What matters is what a particular one does with what you send it.
Can you read my private channels?
No, and we will not add it. That would mean holding your session.
