Telegram for PC
Telegram Portable for Windows
Choose the official portable archive when you want a folder-based Telegram Desktop setup.
Portable archive
The official destination provides the current Windows x64 portable ZIP archive. Extract it before launch.
Opens a Telegram official download destination.
How the portable version works
- Download the ZIP from the official destination and extract it to a folder you control.
- Launch Telegram Desktop from that folder.
- Keep the folder and its app data together when moving or backing it up.
A portable archive is not the usual Windows setup wizard. If you want an installed app and normal shortcut, use the Windows installer. Review the PC sign-in guide before entering account details.
