To download videos from Instagram, start with the link to a public post or Reel. Keep this page open while you copy the link.

Three simple steps

How to use the Instagram downloader on this site

Copy the Instagram video link

Open the post or Reel and choose Copy link from its sharing options. In a browser, you can also copy the post URL from the address bar.

Paste it into the downloader

Use the homepage or the Instagram Reels page, paste the link into the field, and submit the form to fetch the available media data.

Choose a file and save it

Play the video or preview the photo, then select a download option. Your browser will save the file or ask where you want to keep it.

Good Results

Tips for a smoother download flow

The post may be private, deleted or temporarily unavailable, or Instagram may restrict access. Check the post link and try again. If an Instagram download link has expired, submit the original post URL again; file links are valid for five minutes.

Use the direct post URL

Open the individual video or Reel and look for Copy link in its sharing options. If you are using Instagram in a browser, copy the URL of the open post rather than the profile page.

Choose your video quality

Save videos from public feed posts and Reels using the quality options shown in the results. Files without sound are labelled Video only; separate audio is listed when available. The tool does not automatically combine these tracks.

Instagram Stories

Stories work only when the supplied source contains media for the exact Story ID. A link alone cannot access private accounts or recover expired or deleted Stories.
