Frequently asked questions

How do I download an Instagram video?

Open the reel or post, tap ⋯ → Copy link, paste it in the box above and press Download. The MP4 saves straight to your device.

Does it work with reels, posts and IGTV?

Yes, for public reels, feed videos and IGTV. Photo posts return the image when no video is present.

Can I download private Instagram videos or stories?

No. Private accounts and personal stories need a logged-in session, which a website cannot do. Only public content can be fetched server-side.

What quality and format do I get?

Instagram serves a single high-quality MP4 source, which is what you download — the original the app streams.

Is it free, and is my data safe?

It is free with no registration. We store nothing — the link is fetched in real time and saved directly to your device.

Is it legal to download Instagram videos?

Downloading for personal use is generally fine, but respect copyright — do not re-upload someone else’s content without permission.
