Telegram Media Downloader

A powerful userscript that enables downloading of images, GIFs, videos, and voice messages from Telegram Web, even from private channels that restrict content saving.

Features

  • 🎥 Video Downloads: Download videos from channels that disable downloading
  • 🎵 Audio Downloads: Save voice messages and audio files
  • 🖼️ Image Downloads: Download images and GIFs
  • ⏸️ Pause/Resume Controls: Full control over download progress with pause and resume functionality
  • 📊 Progress Tracking: Modern progress bars showing download status with percentage
  • 📁 File System Integration: Uses native file picker when available for direct saving
  • 🎨 Modern UI: Clean, minimal progress cards with smooth animations
  • 🔄 Chunked Downloads: Efficient downloading with range requests for large files
  • 📱 Multi-Platform Support: Works on all Telegram Web versions (webk, webz, weba)

How It Works

The script adds download buttons to Telegram's interface where native download options are missing or disabled. It uses range requests to download files in chunks, allowing for pause/resume functionality and better handling of large files. The progress is displayed in elegant cards at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
