How to Download Instagram Photos and Videos (Posts, Reels, Stories)

Instagram doesn't offer a built-in way to download other people's posts, reels, or stories to your device. This guide explains how to download Instagram photos and videos using a free online tool that works with posts, reels, stories, and highlights.

Types of Instagram content you can download

Feed posts — single photos, videos, or carousels from the main timeline.
Reels — short vertical videos, usually in HD.
Stories — photos and 15-second videos that disappear after 24 hours.
Highlights — saved story albums that stay on the profile.

How to download each type

For a single post or reel: copy its link (Share → Copy link) and paste it into our homepage or the Reels/Stories page. For all stories from a user: enter their username on the Stories page. For highlights: use the Highlights page with the username or a highlight URL. For feed posts: enter the username and use the Posts tab in the results.

Quality and format

We fetch the best quality Instagram provides. Photos are typically high-resolution; videos are usually MP4. No watermarks are added. Use downloads only for personal backup or with permission when sharing.
