How to download Instagram videos
- 1
Copy the link
In Instagram, open the post and tap the Share icon (the paper plane) or the ⋯ menu, then Copy link. On a computer, copy the address from the browser bar.
- 2
Paste it into GramSave
Paste the link into the box above and tap Download. We fetch the post and show you a preview.
- 3
Save the MP4
Tap Download video. The file goes to your Downloads folder — on iPhone that's Files › Downloads.
What you can download
GramSave reads public Instagram posts and hands you the original media files. One link is one post; a carousel gives you every slide.
- Reels — full length, with their sound
- Videos posted to the feed, including old IGTV links (instagram.com/tv/…)
- Single photos, at the largest size Instagram serves
- Carousel posts — every photo and video in the post, one by one or all at once
Saving Instagram videos on iPhone, Android and PC
On iPhone, Safari asks whether to download the file, then puts it in Files › Downloads. To move it to the Photos app, open it in Files, tap Share and choose Save Video. Chrome for iPhone works the same way.
On Android, Chrome saves the MP4 to your Downloads folder, and most gallery apps (Google Photos included) pick it up from there within a few seconds.
On Windows and Mac, the video lands in your Downloads folder like any other file. You can paste links from the browser's address bar — they look like instagram.com/reel/ or instagram.com/p/.
Quality and watermarks
The file you get is the one Instagram's own servers deliver, so it has the resolution the creator uploaded — we don't re-encode or shrink it, and we don't add a watermark.
Instagram's built-in Download option, where a creator allows it, saves Reels with an Instagram watermark and the account name on top. Files saved here come without that overlay.
Private accounts
Only public posts can be downloaded. Posts on private accounts are visible to approved followers and no one else, so no website can fetch them — any tool that says otherwise is not being straight with you. When you paste a link from a private account, GramSave tells you so instead of pretending to try.
Prefer saving straight to your camera roll?
Recent Follow, the app we recommend for iPhone and Android, saves public Reels and videos in a tap, lets you watch Stories from public accounts, and shows who an account followed most recently.
Frequently asked questions
Is GramSave free?+
Yes. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Paste a link, tap Download, save the file.
Will the person know I downloaded their video?+
No. Instagram doesn't notify anyone when a public post is downloaded, and GramSave never logs in to your account or theirs.
Can I download videos from private Instagram accounts?+
No. Private posts are only visible to approved followers, so there is no legitimate way for a website to fetch them.
Why does it say the post couldn't be found?+
The post was deleted, the account is private, or the link was cut short when it was copied. Copy it again from the Share menu and paste the whole link.
Can I download Instagram Stories here?+
Not on GramSave — it handles posts, Reels and videos. The Recent Follow app can show and save Stories from public accounts.
Where do downloaded videos go?+
To your browser's Downloads folder. On iPhone open Files › Downloads; on Android look in Downloads or your gallery app.
Do you keep a copy of the videos?+
No. The files come from Instagram's servers straight to your device. We don't store or re-host them.
Is it legal to download Instagram videos?+
The creator owns the copyright. Keeping a public video to watch offline is very different from re-uploading it: ask permission and credit the creator before you share someone else's work.
