Everything to know about saving Instagram content
Instagram has always been awkward about saving things. There's a bookmark button, but it only saves a link inside the app — delete the post or lose the account, and your bookmark points at nothing. There's no built-in way to get an actual file: no "save video," no "save photo," nothing that leaves Instagram's walled garden. That's the gap this tool fills.
Paste a public post's link and you get real files: Reels and videos as MP4 in the quality Instagram serves, photos and carousels in their original upload resolution. No screenshots, no screen-recording with your finger in the frame, no cropping out the UI. This matters most for photo posts — recipes, design references, workout plans, art — where a screenshot genuinely isn't good enough to use later.
One honest technical note: Instagram locks its media behind session checks, so downloads relay through our server before reaching your device. The relay is live and transient — the stream flows through in real time and nothing lands on disk. We also never ask for your Instagram login. The tool only needs a public link; any service asking for your password is trying to get into your account, not download a video for you.
And the respect clause: what you download belongs to whoever made it. Save it for yourself — offline viewing, backups of your own posts, personal reference collections. Don't repost someone's Reel as yours, and don't use other people's content commercially without permission. If you're a creator and want something handled, our DMCA page has a real form and a real process.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download an Instagram Reel?
Open the Reel in the Instagram app, tap the paper-airplane share icon, choose 'Copy link', then paste it in the box above. The download button appears right away.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Completely free and no account is needed — and we'll never ask for your Instagram login. Any site requesting your password is a scam; don't enter it.
Where do downloaded files go?
Your browser's download folder. On Android that's the Downloads folder (moveable to your gallery); on iPhone, check the Files app under Downloads.
Can I download from private accounts?
No — and we won't help with that. Only public posts can be downloaded. Sites claiming to fetch private content are after your login credentials.
Why do my downloads go through your server?
Instagram's media servers only accept requests from Instagram's own sessions, so the file is relayed through ours to reach your device. The relay streams directly — nothing is stored.
Is downloading Instagram content legal?
For personal use — offline viewing, archiving your own posts — it's the same category as screenshotting. Reposting someone's content as your own, or commercial use without permission, is not okay.
