Download images, GIFs, videos, and voice messages on the Telegram webapp from private channels that disable downloading and restrict saving content
# 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.

## How It Works
The script adds download buttons to Telegram's interface where native download options are missing or disabled.

The progress is displayed in elegant cards at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
