Frequently asked questions

How do I download Instagram videos without the app?

You can download Instagram videos directly through our web-based tool without installing any app. Simply copy the video URL from Instagram (you can get this by tapping the three dots on a post and selecting "Copy Link"), paste it into our downloader, and click download. The video will be saved to your device's download folder in high quality. This works on both mobile and desktop browsers.

Can I download private Instagram posts?

No, our Instagram downloader only works with public posts and content. This is because we need access to the media URL, which is only available for public content. If a post is private or from a private account, you won't be able to download it unless you have access to view it publicly. This restriction protects user privacy and complies with platform policies.

What's the difference between downloading Instagram videos and reels?

Instagram videos are typically longer-form content (up to 60 seconds), while reels are short-form vertical videos (up to 90 seconds) designed for entertainment. Our tool handles both types seamlessly. When you paste a reel URL, you'll get the reel video, and when you paste a regular video post URL, you'll get that specific video. Both download in high quality without watermarks, and you can download stories as well using our story downloader.

Will downloaded Instagram videos have watermarks?

No, all videos downloaded through our tool are completely watermark-free. We extract the video directly from Instagram's servers, so you get the original file without any Instagram branding, logos, or watermarks. This makes the videos perfect for repurposing, editing, or personal use. Note that if the original creator included text or logos in their video, those will remain as they are part of the original content.

Can I download Instagram stories that disappear after 24 hours?

Yes, our Instagram story downloader allows you to save stories before they disappear. Simply copy the story URL while it's still active and paste it into our downloader. The story will be saved to your device in high quality. This works for both photo and video stories, and the downloads are watermark-free.
