This free Instagram downloader works with any public link. Paste it and the tool works out what it is — a Reel, a video post, a single photo or a carousel with many photos and videos — and gives you the right download for each item.
Videos come as standard MP4 files that play on every phone and computer, with an HD option when Instagram has a higher resolution. Photos are saved in their original resolution, and carousels can be downloaded one by one or all at once as a ZIP file. You can even keep just the sound of a Reel as an MP3.
Everything happens online in your browser: there is no app to install and no account to create. You can download Instagram videos and photos straight to your gallery on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.

Is it safe and legal?
We never ask for your Instagram username or password, there is nothing to install, and we don't use tracking or analytics. Files are cached for a few hours so repeat downloads are fast, then deleted automatically.
Downloading for personal use — for example to watch offline — is common. Photos, videos and music still belong to their creators: don't re-upload, sell or claim other people's content as your own, and ask for permission if you want to reuse it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Instagram downloader free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no app to install.
Do I need to log in to Instagram?
No. You only need the link of a public post. We never ask for your Instagram username or password.
What can I download?
Public Reels, video posts, IGTV videos, single photos and carousel posts with several photos or videos. You can also save just the audio of a Reel as MP3.
Where are downloaded files saved?
In your browser's normal download folder — "Downloads" on Android and PC, or the Files app on iPhone.
Is there a download limit?
There is no daily limit for normal use. To keep the service fast for everyone, very large numbers of requests in a short time are slowed down.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. Use Safari or Chrome. Downloads go to the Files app, and from there you can save videos and photos to your Photos library.
Can I copy the caption and hashtags?
Yes. After a post opens, use the Copy caption button to copy its text and hashtags.
Can I download posts from private accounts?
No. Only followers the owner has approved can see posts from a private account, so they can't be downloaded here.
Can I download Instagram Stories and Highlights?
Not at the moment. Instagram only shows Stories and Highlights to logged-in users, and we never log in to Instagram or ask for your account.
Why can't I download an age-restricted post?
Some owners limit who can see their content (for example by age or country). Those posts need a logged-in account, so they can't be downloaded.
Can I download deleted posts or live videos?
No. If a post was removed there is nothing left to save, and a live video can only be saved after it ends and is shared as a normal post or Reel.
