Why Archive Instagram Videos?
Instagram is a goldmine of educational micro-content. From 60-second science experiments to quick history facts, Reels have transformed how we consume information. However, relying on the live platform has drawbacks—links break, accounts get deleted, or you might be in a classroom with poor Wi-Fi.
GramSave allows educators and researchers to create permanent local copies of these ephemeral moments, ensuring that your teaching materials or research references remain accessible forever.
