Copy the URL of the Instagram video you want, paste it into the box at the top of this page, and click Download. Your file is ready in a few seconds.
Yes — Instagram videos download for free, no account needed. A Pro plan exists for users who hit our daily limit or want priority processing, but it isn't required.
Instagram videos download as MP4 — the most widely-compatible video container. MP4 plays natively on every modern browser, iOS, Android, smart TV, and editing tool you might point it at.
Instagram hosts a mix of video, image, and audio content. For a video download, the file you get back matches whichever asset the URL actually points at.
Instagram requires the original poster to have made their account public. Downloader can fetch any video reachable without logging into Instagram itself — private accounts and follower-only posts are out of scope.
One Instagram-specific note that applies to videos too: Some assets require the original page context to load. Always paste the canonical URL — not a CDN link copied from devtools.
Yes. We deliver the file Instagram serves — no re-encoding, no compression, no quality loss. The video you save matches the one playing in your browser.
No. Downloads happen on our infrastructure — Instagram sees a normal page request, not your identity or your download action. The poster receives no notification.
Instagram attracts a mix of audiences — casual viewers, creators, professionals. The download flow is identical regardless of why you need the file.
Yes. MP4 and JPG files play natively in the default Photos / Files / Music app on every modern phone. No third-party player required.
Pro accounts can paste a comma-separated list of Instagram URLs to extract them in a batch. Free accounts handle one URL per request — paste, download, repeat.
Downloading videos from Instagram that you have the right to save — your own uploads, openly-licensed work, public-domain material — is standard fair use in most jurisdictions. For anything else, respect copyright and Instagram's terms.
Note, we store nothing, everything is piped to you, even the images are piped as base64 to your browser.
