True MP4 file
A real video file you can play in any player, edit, or move between devices — not a screen capture.
Instagram Video Downloader
Turn any public Instagram video link into a downloadable MP4.
About this tool
Instagram has no download button for video, and screen recording costs you resolution, adds interface elements and often loses the audio. This tool reads the public metadata for a post and hands you the underlying MP4 instead. It covers ordinary feed videos, Reels and long-form IGTV uploads with the same input box.

Frequently asked questions
Can I download a video from a post with several slides?
Yes. Carousels are unpacked into their individual items, so a mixed post of photos and videos gives you a separate download button for each one.
Why is my download an .mp4 and not a .mov?
Instagram transcodes every upload to H.264 MP4 for delivery. That is the only format available on the public side, and it plays natively on every modern device.
Is this Instagram downloader free to use?
Yes. Every tool on the site is free and there is no daily download cap for normal personal use. You do not need to create an account or install anything.
Do I need to log in with my Instagram account?
No, and you should never enter your Instagram password on a third-party site. We only read publicly available data, so no login is required or requested.
Can I download content from a private account?
No. Private posts are only visible to approved followers and our tool cannot access them. This limit is intentional and protects account privacy.
