Instagram Video Downloader

Paste the video's link into the box at the top of this page and click Download. That's it. SaveFromInsta fetches the file directly from Instagram's servers at the highest resolution available, usually full 1080p HD, rather than a re-compressed copy. There's no quality loss, no re-encoding, and no watermark added. This works for feed posts, IGTV, and video carousels alike. Once processing finishes (usually within a few seconds), you'll see a preview with a Download button; tap it and the video saves straight to your device in MP4 format, ready to watch offline anytime.

Yes. SaveFromInsta includes a dedicated Reels downloader alongside the video tool, and both work the same simple way: copy the Reel's link from Instagram, paste it here, and click Download. The saved file keeps its original resolution, audio track, and any effects or filters exactly as posted, with no watermark added. Reels typically run up to 90 seconds, and there's no limit on how many you can save. If you only need Reels regularly, our dedicated Instagram Reels Downloader page has extra tips and FAQs specific to that content type.

Open the Story on Instagram, tap the three-dot menu or the paper-plane share icon, and choose "Copy Link." Paste that link into SaveFromInsta and click Download. The video Story saves in its original quality, complete with any music, stickers, or text overlays. Because Stories disappear after 24 hours, it's worth saving anything important as soon as you see it rather than waiting. The download works the same way for both photo and video Stories, and you don't need an Instagram account or the poster's permission to save a public Story.

It depends on your device and browser settings. On a computer, videos land in your default Downloads folder. On Android, they typically go to the Downloads folder or your Gallery app. On an iPhone or iPad, Safari saves them to the Photos app or the Files app, depending on your settings. If you can't find a download, check your browser's download history (usually accessible from the menu) or your device's file manager. You can also change your browser's default save location in its settings if you'd like more control over where files end up.

Yes. You never need an Instagram account, and you never log in to use SaveFromInsta. All the tool needs is the public link to the video you want to save; it fetches the file directly from Instagram's own servers without touching your credentials at all. This is safer than tools that ask you to sign in, since there's zero risk to your Instagram account. It also means the process stays completely anonymous: the original poster has no way of knowing that their public video was downloaded.

On your phone, open Instagram, find the video, tap the three dots or share icon, and select "Copy Link." Switch to your browser (Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, or any other browser), open SaveFromInsta, and paste the link into the input box. Tap Download, and within a few seconds the video will save directly to your phone's gallery or Files app. There's nothing to install. The whole process happens in your mobile browser, and it works identically on both iOS and Android devices.

There's no length limit on our end. We download whatever Instagram allows for that content type. Regular feed videos can run up to 60 seconds, Reels up to 90 seconds, Stories up to 15 seconds per segment, and IGTV videos up to 60 minutes for longer-form content. Whatever the length, SaveFromInsta preserves the full video from start to finish at its original resolution; we never trim, cut, or compress the footage, so what you download matches exactly what was posted.

You can't download a Live video while it's actively broadcasting, but once the creator ends the stream, Instagram often keeps a replay available on their profile for a limited time. Open that replay, copy its link the same way you would for any other post (via the share or three-dot menu), and paste it into SaveFromInsta to download it like normal. If the broadcaster deletes the replay or doesn't save it, the video usually isn't recoverable, so it's best to grab the link soon after the Live ends.

Downloading a public video for personal use (watching it later offline, saving a memory, or keeping a copy of your own content) is generally fine and is exactly what SaveFromInsta is built for. What you shouldn't do is re-upload someone else's video, claim it as your own, or use it commercially without the creator's permission; that can violate copyright law and Instagram's terms of service regardless of which tool you use. In short: download responsibly, respect the original creator, and get permission before republishing anything that isn't yours.

No. SaveFromInsta runs entirely inside your web browser, whether that's on a phone, tablet, or computer. There's no app to download from the App Store or Play Store, no browser extension to add, and no account to create. You simply visit the website, paste a link, and download. This keeps things fast and avoids the security risks that come with installing third-party apps or extensions that ask for broad permissions. Everything happens on a single page, with nothing left behind afterward.

No. SaveFromInsta delivers the original video file exactly as the creator uploaded it to Instagram: no logo, no username overlay, and no added watermark of any kind. Some free downloaders stamp their own branding onto your files or add a visible logo in the corner; we deliberately don't do that, since the goal is to give you a clean copy that looks identical to what you saw on Instagram, just saved to your own device instead of streaming from the app.

No. SaveFromInsta only works with content from public accounts. If a profile is set to private, its videos aren't accessible to our tool (or to anyone who doesn't follow that account), which is exactly how Instagram's privacy protections are designed to work. If you need to save a video from a private account, the only legitimate option is to ask the account owner directly, since there's no tool that can or should bypass those privacy settings.

No, there's no daily cap, no monthly quota, and no hidden "pro" tier that unlocks unlimited downloads. SaveFromInsta is completely free and unlimited for everyone. You can download one video or a hundred in a row, and the process works the same way every time: paste the link, click Download, repeat. We don't ask for payment information, an account, or a subscription at any point, so there's nothing standing between you and saving as much public content as you need.
