FreeRUEN

The biggest general-purpose saver bot on Telegram: send a link from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or a handful of other platforms and it sends back the photo, video, story or text as a normal Telegram file, no app or account needed.

Key features

  • Downloads photos, videos, stories and text posts from a public link
  • Returns media as a native Telegram file, ready to forward or save
  • Works from a simple paste-a-link flow, no menus or setup
  • Actively used by millions, so common platforms are kept working

Save As Bot

Save As Bot (@SaveAsBot) is a link-in, file-out utility: paste a public post, reel, story or video link and it fetches the media and returns it straight into the chat as a normal Telegram file, ready to forward, save to the gallery or re-upload elsewhere. With close to 4 million monthly users it is one of the most-used bots of its kind on the platform, which in practice means it is actively maintained and rarely goes down for long.

The interface is deliberately minimal: there is no menu to learn, you just drop a link and wait a few seconds. That simplicity is also its main limitation — there is no dashboard, no history of past downloads and no way to batch-process a whole channel or playlist at once. Support is handled through a linked contact account rather than a public help desk, so if a specific link fails there is no guaranteed fast response.

Because the bot works purely by fetching whatever a public URL points to, it cannot pull content from private or restricted accounts, and heavily protected platforms occasionally break support until the bot is updated. For everyday use — grabbing a Reel a friend sent, saving your own Stories before they expire, or pulling a clip to repost — it remains one of the fastest options directly inside Telegram.

How to start

  1. Open @SaveAsBot and tap Start
  2. Copy a public post/video/story link and paste it into the chat
  3. Wait a few seconds for the bot to send back the file

FAQ

Does it need my account login?

No. It only reads whatever a public link already shows to anyone, so it cannot access private profiles or restricted content.

Is there a cost?

Sending a link and receiving a file back does not require payment; no paid plan or published usage limit was found on the bot page.
