How to download Instagram Reels and videos
SaveReels turns a public Instagram link into a downloadable HD file in a few seconds. Open the reel, post, or video you want inside the Instagram app or on the web, tap the three-dot menu, and choose “Copy link”. Paste that link into the box above and press Download. We fetch the original media straight from Instagram’s servers and hand you the highest-quality version available, usually 1080p MP4 for video and full-resolution JPG for photos.
You never sign in, install anything, or hand over a password. The tool works entirely from the public URL, so nothing touches your Instagram account. It runs the same way on an iPhone, an Android phone, a Windows PC, or a Mac. The download saves to your device’s normal Downloads or Photos location.
What you can save
- Reels: the short vertical videos, saved as MP4 with audio.
- Feed videos and IGTV/long-form clips in their original resolution.
- Single photos and every image in a multi-photo carousel post.
- The audio track on its own as an MP3, when you only want the sound.
Why quality matters (and how we keep it)
Screen recording a reel loses sharpness, drops frames, and captures your notifications. Downloading the source file keeps the creator’s original bitrate, so text stays crisp and motion stays smooth. When Instagram serves a higher-quality DASH stream, SaveReels merges the separate video and audio tracks server-side so you still get one clean file instead of a silent clip.
If a download isn’t working
- Make sure the account is public. Private profiles, close-friends stories, and login-gated posts can’t be fetched by anyone.
- Use a full post/reel link (instagram.com/reel/… or /p/…), not a profile or hashtag URL.
- If a link fails right after posting, wait 10–20 seconds and try again, because Instagram sometimes needs a moment to finish processing new uploads.
- Remove tracking junk after “?igsh=…” if you pasted a shared link and it misbehaves.
Is it legal and safe?
Downloading is intended for content you own, content shared under a permissive licence, or personal offline viewing of public posts. It is not a licence to re-upload someone else’s work or use it commercially. Please credit creators and respect Instagram’s Terms of Use and applicable copyright law. SaveReels keeps no copy of what you download and asks for no personal data.
More questions
Do downloaded reels have a watermark?
No. We fetch the original file Instagram stores, which has no SaveReels branding added. Any watermark the creator burned into the video themselves will remain, because that is part of the video.
Can I download on iPhone without an app?
Yes. Everything runs in your mobile browser. On iOS the file saves to Files or Photos depending on the type; on Android it goes to your Downloads folder.
Is there a limit on how many I can download?
There is a fair-use rate limit to keep the service fast for everyone, but normal personal use is never a problem.
What's new
View all updates- Fix
Threads posts with several photos now download
A Threads post containing more than one photo used to fail outright — nothing saved, and retrying didn't help. The Threads video downloader now saves every photo in a multi-photo post, and it can fall back to a second source when the first one can't read a link, so more posts work first time.
- Improved
A much smaller app
Most of the app's size was a copy of the website packed inside it that the app never opened — it loads the live site instead. That copy is gone, cutting the download to a fraction of what it was: faster to install, less mobile data to get started, and more room left on your phone. Nothing about how the app works has changed.
- Fix
Sharing a link into the app keeps your language
When you shared a link from another app, SaveReels always opened in English, whatever language you had been using. It now opens in your phone's language if we have it, so a share no longer drops you into a page you cannot read.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download photos from an Instagram profile?▼
Enter the public username (or profile link) above and press download. We fetch the profile's recent posts, including photos, videos and carousels, so you can save each one in HD.
Can I download all posts from a profile at once?▼
Yes. We load the profile's recent posts and let you select all of them, then download every item in one go. Carousels are expanded into their individual photos and videos.
Does it work for private accounts?▼
No. Only public accounts' posts can be downloaded. Private content isn't accessible without logging in, which we never do.
Do I need an Instagram account or app?▼
No. Everything runs in your browser, with no login and no app install. Paste a public username and save the media.
