Instagram reel downloader

Paste a Instagram link, preview the video, and save the file to your device. It works on public posts, needs no account, and the video comes from Instagram to you, not through us.

Only download videos you made or have permission to use. We do not store or host anything: the file goes from Instagram to your device.

How to save a video

  1. Copy the link: on Instagram tap Share, then Copy link, or copy the address from your browser.
  2. Paste it in the box above and press Get video.
  3. Watch the preview, then press Download video to keep the file.

The video comes from Instagram’s servers straight to your device, so it uses your connection, not ours.

How this works

Pasting a link does one lookup: we ask our API for the post’s video address. Your browser then downloads the file from Instagram’s servers directly, over your own connection. The video never passes through our server, we keep no copy of it, and we cannot see it.

The preview plays the file that is already on your device, and Download video saves that same file under a name built from the post, so nothing is fetched twice.

Each visitor gets a limited number of downloads per hour so the tool stays free for everyone, and the page tells you how many are left. Download only what you made or have permission to use. For how this works and where it stops, read how to download Instagram, Facebook and X videos.

Questions

Where does the video come from?
From Instagram’s own servers, straight to your device. We look up the post to find the file’s address, and your browser downloads it. We do not store, host or relay the video.
Do I need to log in or install anything?
No. There is nothing to install and no account. It only works on public posts, because it reads what Instagram shows a logged-out visitor.
Why did it say the post has no video?
Photo posts have no video to save. Carousels work if one of the slides is a video. A private or deleted post cannot be looked up.
Is it allowed?
Download only videos you made or have permission to use. Saving someone else’s reel and re-posting it can infringe their copyright and Instagram’s terms.
Is there a limit?
Yes. Each visitor gets a limited number of downloads per hour, so the tool stays free for everyone. When you reach it, the page says when it resets.
