Telegram Downloader is a Chrome extension designed to facilitate the downloading of media from Telegram channels and groups that have media protection enabled. By utilizing the extension, users can access hidden media controls and download various types of media, including images and videos, directly from their Telegram chats. The tool allows for previewing media in the browser before downloading, ensuring users can select the content they wish to keep.

The extension provides a user-friendly popup interface that lists all files fetched from chat pagination, displaying essential information such as media dimensions and size. While it supports downloading all media with a single button, either as a zip file or individually, it does have limitations. Users must navigate through chats to download files, as massive downloads are not supported, and media sent as files cannot be saved directly from the popup until previewed.
