Instagram Downloader FAQs
Is the Instagram downloader free?
Yes — every download is free. No signup, no payment, no daily limit, no watermark on the output.
What types of Instagram videos can I download?
Public Reels, Stories from public accounts, video posts, and IGTV/longer videos all work. Carousel posts: paste the post URL and we surface every video in the carousel.
Can I download Stories from private accounts?
No. We only fetch content from public accounts. Private-account Stories and posts are gated by Instagram and aren't accessible to public scrapers.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The downloader runs in your phone's browser — no app install. iOS files appear in Safari's Downloads list; Android lands in your Downloads folder.
Can I save Reels with sound?
Yes. The MP4 includes the original audio track at full quality.
What about photo posts?
Single-photo posts can be saved as JPEG. Carousel posts: every photo gets its own download button.
How do I convert an Instagram Reel to a GIF?
Save the MP4 here, then drop it into our MP4 to GIF converter. Pick start/end points and resolution, and download the GIF.
Are there length or size limits?
No limits from our side. Instagram's own 15-minute Reel cap is the practical ceiling.
What URLs are supported?
instagram.com/reel/..., instagram.com/p/..., instagram.com/stories/... and instagr.am short links — all work. Embed URLs from third-party sites also resolve.
Is downloading Instagram videos legal?
Saving public Instagram videos for personal use is fine. Re-uploading copyrighted content without permission is not — credit the original creator.
