Telegram Downloader
Save video and photos from posts in public Telegram channels. Works with the same public embed Telegram serves to any website.
Every message in a public Telegram channel has an embeddable version, and that embed carries the direct CDN link for whatever is attached. Clearlla reads that embed, so nothing about the process needs a bot token, a phone number, or a logged-in session.
Video posts return the original MP4 the channel uploaded. Photo posts and albums return each image separately at the resolution Telegram publishes.

Known limitations
- Public channels only. Private channels, groups, and direct chats have no anonymous read path and never will.
- Documents, files, and standalone audio aren't exposed by the public embed, so only video and photos can be saved.
- Channels that disable embedding, and posts deleted by the channel owner, can't be processed.
- Public content only. Private, follower-only, and login-walled posts cannot be read.
- Deleted or removed media cannot be recovered, even if the link still exists.
- Age-restricted and region-locked posts may fail if the source blocks anonymous access.
- Downloaded media belongs to its creator. Check platform terms and copyright before reusing it.
