Not everything on Instagram is a Reel. Tutorials, behind-the-scenes clips and older posts still live in the feed, and they are just as useful to keep. Paste the link of a public post with video and this page turns it into an MP4 you can store, edit or schedule somewhere else.
A tip from someone who reposts a lot: download the feed video right after publishing, before you lose track of the original project. The MP4 goes straight to your device, nothing is kept on a server, and you only see one short ad before the file is released.
How it works
- Copy the post linkOpen the post in your feed or on a profile grid, tap the three dots above it (or the paper plane below it) and select Copy link.
- Paste the linkPaste it into the field at the top of this page and tap the down arrow button.
- Download the videoAfter you close the ad, pick the video option shown and the MP4 is saved to your device.
Questions and answers
What is the difference between a feed video and a Reel here?
For the download, almost none. Both are public posts with a link, and both come out as MP4. This page exists because feed posts are copied from the three dots menu on the post, and people often look for the option in the wrong place.
Can I save an Instagram video on my computer?
Yes. Open instagram.com in the browser, click the post, then the three dots and Copy link. Paste it here and the MP4 goes to your downloads folder. No extension or program is needed, in Chrome or any other browser.
Will the video keep its sound?
Yes, the MP4 comes with the audio track the post has. If the post was published without sound, or the music was removed by Instagram in your region, the file will be silent too, because we deliver what the public post contains.
Can I download videos from a private account I follow?
No. Even if you follow the account, the tool does not log in as you, so it only sees public posts. Private profiles and content restricted to Close Friends cannot be downloaded here.
What quality will I get?
The page lists the options Instagram makes available for that post and you choose among them. We do not upscale or re-encode the video, so the result is as good as the file Instagram holds for it.
Is it okay to use a video I downloaded in my own content?
Only if the video is yours or the creator gave you permission. For someone else's work, send a message, get a yes and give credit. Saving your own feed videos for reuse is fine and is what most creators do here.
