Paste any public Instagram video link, a reel, a feed post or a video slide in a carousel, and this downloader returns the original MP4 with its sound, at the best quality Instagram serves. It runs in any browser on public links only, with no login, app or extension.
To download an Instagram video: copy the reel's or post's share link, paste it into the box above, and save the MP4. It runs in the browser on phone or desktop with no account, app or Instagram login, and works on public posts only. You get the highest quality Instagram exposes for that post, with no watermark added. Downloads remain subject to Instagram's Terms of Use and the rights of the original creator.

Built for public Instagram content
Instappa’s Instagram video downloader takes any public video link: reels, feed and post videos, IGTV-style clips and the video slides in a carousel. Paste it to save the MP4 in HD with no watermark. No app, extension, or Instagram login.
Instagram shares video under three link shapes: instagram.com/reel/… for Reels, /p/… for feed posts and carousels, and /tv/… for older IGTV clips. This page takes all three and saves the same MP4. The one shape it cannot help with is a /p/ post that holds only photos; for those, use the image downloader or the carousel downloader. For how Reels and feed videos differ, see
Reels vs feed video.
When the link is ready, Instappa lists the MP4 streams Instagram exposes for that public post and prefers the highest available. You choose from what the source actually serves; we do not invent quality tiers or upscale the file.

Tip From Gallery you can move the clip into any album with press-and-hold → Move. Full walkthrough: how to download Instagram videos on Android.
On a computer the flow is shorter — the file lands straight in your Downloads folder. See downloading Instagram videos on PC or Mac. If a saved clip looks softer than it did in the app, that is Instagram's own re-encoding rather than the download: why Instagram downloads look blurry explains what quality is actually available, and Instagram sizes and aspect ratios covers the dimensions each format is stored at.
Straight answers to the questions people ask before they download an Instagram video.
You get the largest stream Instagram serves for that public post. In our tests that tops out at 1080p: 1080 pixels wide, so 1080×1920 for a vertical reel and 1080×1080 for a square post. Instagram re-encodes every upload, so a video filmed in 4K is stored smaller. Instappa does not upscale, which means a true 4K file is not on offer here. A site that promises 4K Instagram downloads is enlarging a 1080p file, and that adds size, not detail.
No. This downloader runs in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge on a phone or a computer, so there is nothing to install and no Instagram login to hand over. On Android the MP4 goes to Downloads and shows up in Gallery; on iPhone it goes to Files, and one tap on Save Video puts it in Photos.
Instappa adds no watermark and no logo. If the creator's own name or a sticker is burned into the video, it stays, because it is part of the picture. The sound comes with the video whenever the post has it. To keep only the sound, paste the same link into the Instagram audio downloader for an MP3.
Video mode takes public Instagram reels, feed and post videos, IGTV-style clips and the video slides in a carousel, on /reel/, /p/ and /tv/ links. The Instagram reels downloader runs the same engine on a page written around Reels. Need photos, stories, audio (MP3), or a profile picture? Switch tools above.
Quality
When Instagram exposes more than one MP4 stream, Instappa ranks them and prefers the highest. You pick from real source options — not guaranteed 4K on every post.
Clean
We do not stamp a watermark or re-brand the file. The MP4 matches the public post’s available resolution.
URL fit
Paste a /reel/, /p/ or /tv/ link and get the same MP4. Only a post with no video in it, photos alone, belongs on another tool.
Privacy
You never sign into Instagram through Instappa. Only the public URL you paste is used to resolve download options.
Free
Use this page for any public Instagram video. For photos or audio, open the image audio tools instead.
Private, deleted, or restricted posts are not supported. If a link fails, open it logged out to confirm it is public, or switch tools if the post is photos only.
Every public Instagram video link. Switch tools only when the post holds photos, audio you want on its own, a story or a profile.
instagram.com/reel/… and /reels/…)instagram.com/p/… that play as video)
Private accounts and private posts cannot be downloaded — there is no login bypass.
Photo-only /p/ links belong on Image or Carousel, not Video.
Incomplete URLs and deleted posts also fail here.
If a link fails, open it logged out to confirm it is still a public video.
Downloads arrive as MP4 so phones, tablets, and PCs can play them without a separate converter.
If Instagram exposes multiple qualities for that public post, you will see options and can take the highest. Audio stays with the video when the source includes it; Instappa does not add a watermark.

Video-focused answers: Reel and post links, quality options, and saving public Instagram videos with Instappa.

All three are video, and all three work on this page.
