What is the Instagram Video Downloader?
Instagram videos show up in several places: single video posts, videos inside carousels, reels and long videos that used to live under IGTV. All of them share the same link structure, so this one tool handles them all. If a post mixes photos and videos, you will see every item and can choose what to save.
Videos inside a carousel
When a post has several slides, we list each slide separately with its own Download button. Video slides are marked with a small play badge so you can tell them apart from photos.
Downloading on a computer
On Windows, macOS or Linux, copy the link from the address bar of instagram.com, paste it here and click Download. Most browsers save the MP4 straight to your Downloads folder.

Links that contain /p/, /reel/, /reels/ or /tv/ are all supported, including links copied from the app that end with ?igsh=… tracking codes.
