Reels Posts (Video & Photo) Carousels Public Stories Works with Facebook Optimized for Instagram

What an Instagram Downloader Does

Converts public Instagram or Facebook links into downloadable media for personal, editorial, or educational use.

Outputs: MP4 (H.264 + AAC) for video; JPG/PNG for images.

Quality mirrors the source (commonly 720p–1080p when available).

Mobile-first and desktop-ready—no extensions required.

Trust, Safety & Compliance

  • Download only content you own, have permission to use, or that’s licensed for reuse.
  • Public links only; private/restricted posts aren’t supported.
  • No persistent storage of user media or personal links.

For rights clearance, contact the creator or rights holder before reuse.

Supported Types

  • Reels (short-form video)
  • Single-post video
  • Carousels (multi-image/video)
  • Public stories (when accessible)
  • Photos (JPG/PNG)

Typical Output

  • Video: MP4 (H.264 + AAC), up to 1080p if the source supports it.
  • Images: Original or near-original resolution when available.
  • Audio: Embedded in MP4; separate tracks not guaranteed.

Quality Tips

  • Use a fresh public URL (••• → Copy Link).
  • Prefer stable Wi-Fi to reduce timeouts.
  • SD in, SD out—no upscaling beyond the source.

How It Works (High-Level)

  1. Copy a public Instagram or Facebook post/reel/carousel link.
  2. Paste it into the downloader input already implemented on this page.
  3. Choose an available quality and save the file to your device.

Private, age-restricted, removed, or geo-blocked posts cannot be fetched.

Who Benefits

  • Creators & editors: backup reels for editing and portfolios.
  • Agencies: collect client-approved references for briefs and moodboards.
  • Educators/analysts: document public posts for commentary or media studies.

Why It’s Preferred

  • Clean MP4 outputs compatible with major editors.
  • No add-ons or extensions; browser-only workflow.
  • Transparent policies; privacy-respecting approach.

Video not loading?

Refresh the link, ensure it’s public, and retry on a stable network.

Quality too low?

If the source isn’t HD, output can’t upscale to 1080p.

Storage full?

Clear temporary files or move older downloads to cloud/SD, then retry.

Instagram Downloader — FAQs

Is it legal to download from Instagram or Facebook?

Download only content you own, have permission to use, or that’s licensed for reuse. Always follow platform terms and local laws.

Can I download from private or friends-only accounts?

What formats do I get?

Videos export as MP4 (H.264 + AAC). Photos export as JPG/PNG. Availability and quality depend on the original upload.

How do I improve success rate?

Use a fresh public URL, stable connection (prefer Wi-Fi), and ensure the content hasn’t been restricted or removed.

Only with rights clearance. Seek permission or a license from the creator before commercial reuse.
