Download any Instagram video in HD MP4 format without watermarks, without logging in, and without installing anything. Paste a link, hit download, done.

How to Download Instagram Videos (3 Steps)
Downloading takes under 10 seconds. Here's exactly how it works:
Copy the video link
Open Instagram (app or browser). Go to the video you want to save. Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) on the post and select "Copy Link." On desktop, just copy the URL from your browser address bar.
Paste it here
Come back to this page. Paste the copied link into the input field above.
Download your video
Click "Download." Your video saves directly to your device as an MP4 file — no watermark, no quality loss, no signup. Works the same on phone, tablet, or laptop.
What Types of Videos Can You Download from Instagram?
This tool handles every type of Instagram video content:
Standard videos posted to someone's profile. Downloads in the same resolution the creator uploaded, typically 720p or 1080p.
Short-form vertical videos. Preserves original audio and vertical format (9:16). No cropping, no re-encoding.
Longer videos up to 60 minutes. Files can be large (100MB+), so make sure you have enough storage before downloading.
When a post contains multiple videos or a mix of photos and videos, you can download each video individually.
Stories disappear after 24 hours. If the account is public, you can save story videos before they're gone.

Download Quality: What to Expect
Instagram compresses every video uploaded to its platform. When a creator uploads a 4K video, Instagram downsizes it — typically to 720p or 1080p depending on the content type.
Our downloader retrieves the highest quality version that Instagram stores. We don't upscale, downscale, or re-encode. You get exactly what Instagram has.
| Content Type | Usual Resolution | Format | Aspect Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feed Video | 720p–1080p | MP4 (H.264) | 1:1,4:5,16:9 |
| Reels | 720p–1080p | MP4 (H.264) | 9:16 |
| IGTV | 720p–1080p | MP4 (H.264) | 9:16,16:9 |
| Stories | 720p | MP4 (H.264) | 9:16 |
| Carousel Video | 720p–1080p | MP4 (H.264) | Varies |
⚠ If the original upload was low quality (e.g. 480p), the download will also be 480p. We can't improve quality beyond what Instagram stores.
