Instagram Video Downloader

Instagram video download online, from the link: posts, Reels and carousels come back as the original files.

This Instagram video downloader covers the whole feed, not only Reels. Paste the link of a public video post, a Reel or a carousel and ViralDrop saves the original file to your device: an MP4 for a video, a separate image for every slide of a carousel. It is handy for keeping your own posts outside the app, or for filing an ad you want to take apart later. Download only posts you own or have permission to use.

No link handy? Try one of these.

How to Download Instagram Videos

  1. Copy the post's link. Tap the paper-plane icon under the post and pick Copy link, or tap the three dots and copy the link from there. On a computer, copy the post's address.
  2. Paste it at the top of this page. The download mode is already on. Press the button.
  3. Save what comes back. A video post or a Reel saves as one MP4. A carousel gives you each slide in the order it was posted.

Why Download Instagram Videos With ViralDrop

Instagram video downloader without watermark added

ViralDrop does not stamp its name or logo on the file you save.

Every kind of post

Video posts, Reels and carousels all go into the same box, so you do not need a separate tool for each format.

Works on any device

Use it in the browser on a phone or a computer. There is no app to install and no browser extension.

Your Instagram account stays out

There is no Instagram sign-in and no connected account. The public link is enough.

Several posts at once

In batch mode, paste one link per line. Each post is fetched and charged on its own.

A failed download is refunded

When a post cannot be fetched, its credit goes back to your balance automatically.

When Instagram Lets You Download

Inside the Instagram app, the download option depends on the account. Instagram's Help Center says that anyone can download a Reel from a public account unless the creator switched Reel downloads off, for their account or for that single Reel, and that the option exists in the phone and tablet apps rather than on a computer. On a laptop the app's button is not there at all, so saving Instagram Reels on a computer takes a link instead.

So if the Download option is missing in the app, either the account is private or its creator turned downloads off. Private posts are not reachable from a link either, so they cannot be saved here.

Instagram Downloader FAQ

How do I download an Instagram video?

Copy the post's link from the paper-plane or three-dot menu, paste it at the top of this page and press the button. The original MP4 is saved to your device for 1 credit.

Is the video saved without a watermark?

ViralDrop adds none. The file is the video Instagram serves for that post, so any text, sticker or logo the creator placed in the video itself is still visible in it.

What format is the downloaded video?

Videos and Reels save as MP4, the original file with no conversion. Photos from a carousel save as images. There is no MP3 option, because the download is always the file itself. For the spoken words, transcribe the Reel or video to text instead.

Can I download private Instagram videos?

No. A post from a private account, or one that was deleted, cannot be fetched from its link. If an attempt fails for that reason, you get the credit back.

Do I need to install an app or an extension?

No. Open the page in any browser and paste the link. You sign in to ViralDrop to use your credits, never to Instagram, and nothing is added to your browser.

How much does a download cost?

1 credit per post, whether it is a Reel, a video or a carousel. Your free welcome credits cover the first ones, and plans start at $9 a month.

Can I post someone else's Instagram video after downloading it?

Not without their permission. A saved file is a copy for reference. Use the downloader for posts you own or have permission to use, and credit or ask the creator before you publish their work.
