Download Instagram Reels and videos
Instagram does not give you a download button for most videos, so saving a Reel for offline viewing or for your own records normally means screen recording, which lowers the quality and captures buttons and overlays.
GetSaveVids.com fetches the video file itself. You get a regular MP4 that plays on any phone, tablet or computer, at the quality the video was published in.
How to save an Instagram video
- 1In the Instagram app, open the Reel or video and tap the paper-plane or three-dot menu.
- 2Choose Copy link.
- 3Paste the link into the box above and press Download.
- 4When the preview appears, tap Download video to save the file.
What you can download
Videos from private accounts cannot be downloaded, and some public posts may need a signed-in session to view. If a link does not work, check that you can open it in a private browser window without logging in.
- Public Reels and feed videos.
- Videos from public business and creator accounts.
- Your own published videos, handy if you lost the original file from your camera roll.
Use downloads responsibly
Reels belong to the people who made them. Save videos for personal viewing, or reuse them only when you own the content or have clear permission. When in doubt, ask the creator first and credit them.
