Instagram Video Downloader

Paste a link to a public reel or video post and get an MP4 back. Instagram serves picture and sound separately, so they are stitched together before the file reaches you.

Instagram Video Downloader

Paste a public Instagram link. The file is fetched by my server, converted if it needs it, and deleted a few hours later.

Only public posts work. Instagram increasingly hides media from logged-out visitors, so some links fail even when the post looks public in your own browser.

How to use it

  1. Tap the three dots on the post and choose Copy link.
  2. Paste the link above and press Get video.
  3. Pick a quality from the list that appears.
  4. Press Download. The audio is merged in during this step.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a link that works for me fail here?
You are probably logged in. Instagram shows far less to a logged-out visitor, and this tool has no account, so anything gated behind a session is invisible to it.
Can I download stories or private accounts?
No. Stories usually require a session, and private accounts are private. The tool sees exactly what an anonymous visitor sees and nothing more.
Does it work with carousels that mix photos and video?
It picks up the video in the post. Multi-item carousels are hit and miss right now, and a post with no video at all will report that nothing downloadable was found.
