Responsible use
Theia is for saving media you deliberately chose. It is not a bulk collector, a scraper, or an AI dataset tool.
Save only what you're allowed to
Download media you created, own, have permission to save, or are otherwise legally allowed to use. Public visibility is not public ownership: a post being visible to everyone does not make it free to reuse, and downloading it does not transfer copyright or grant a licence.
No bulk collection
Theia has no "download this whole account" button, and never crawls a profile on its own. You choose what loads and what you select. Selecting covers only what is already on your screen — Theia will not reach into pages you have not opened, and a ZIP contains only the items you picked, up to 300 at a time.
Respect creators
Do not use Theia to strip attribution, copy someone's portfolio, repost work without permission, or imitate an identifiable artist's style without authorisation. Many of the people whose work you can reach through Theia depend on that work. If you like it, the best thing you can do is visit and support them directly.
No AI training or dataset building
Do not use Theia to build image, video, voice, facial, or biometric datasets, or to train or fine-tune AI systems on other people's work without the rights holder's permission. That includes LoRAs, embeddings, adapters, and style models, whether the system is commercial, private, local, or experimental. Theia deliberately offers no dataset export, no captioning, no tagging, and no training-oriented output.
Who owns what
Theia does not host, own, create, or claim ownership of any of it. Every photo, video, trademark, and username belongs to its respective owner, and Theia is not affiliated with or endorsed by Instagram, Meta, or any other platform. Results may be incomplete or unavailable when a platform changes something.
What Theia can and cannot do
Theia can bound how much you take at once, slow down and challenge automated behaviour, and refuse obviously abusive patterns. Theia cannot verify that you own what you download, grant you permission you don't have, or control what happens to a file once it reaches your device. Those parts are on you.
Copyright or privacy concerns
If you own content, or are personally affected by it, you can ask us to restrict a specific link from being processed. Email [email protected] with:
- the link in question;
- a short description of the concern;
- proof you own the content or are directly affected; and
- a way to reach you.
