Quick answer
Open the public Instagram video or Reel, tap Share → Copy link (or ⋯ → Copy link), paste it into the box above, then choose an available quality and download.
How to download a Instagram video
- Open the public post or Reel. Find the Instagram video, Reel or feed post you want.
- Copy the link. Tap the Share icon (paper plane) or the three-dot menu (⋯) and select Copy link.
- Paste it in. Paste the complete URL into the link box at the top of this page.
- Pick a quality. Choose one of the available options — MP4 video or MP3 audio — and select Download.
What kinds of Instagram content are supported
This downloader works with public Instagram feed videos, Reels (instagram.com/reel/…) and IGTV-style long-form videos shared from a public account — all through the same link box.
Downloading Instagram Reels
Reels are handled exactly like any other post: copy the Reel link from Share and paste it above. If you only need the sound of a Reel, choose the Audio MP3 option when it is offered.
Turning a video into a Reels-ready clip
Video Downloader Plus also includes a Convert to Reel tool on the home page that takes a processed video and reformats it into a vertical, Reels-ready export with optional background audio and text — useful if you want to repost your own footage in a Reels-friendly shape.
Why use Video Downloader Plus for Instagram

No account, no extension and no software to install — paste a link and download.
Every available quality
All the resolutions Instagram offers for the video are listed, plus MP3 audio when it is available.
Phone, tablet and PC
Works in any modern browser. Android users can also get the app.
Private by design
We only read the public link you paste. Your Instagram account is never involved.
What isn't supported
- Posts, Reels or Stories from private accounts.
- Close Friends Stories and other login-gated content.
- Reels that have been archived or deleted by the creator.
- Photo-only carousel slides (this tool processes video content).
If a link fails, confirm it opens in a private/incognito browser tab without signing in — see the link troubleshooting guide.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download a video or Reel from a private Instagram account?
No. Only posts from public accounts, viewable without logging in, can be processed.
Can I download Instagram Reels here?
Yes. Paste the Reel link into the same box — there is no separate Reels tool to use.
Can I download the audio from a trending Reel?
Yes — process the Reel and choose the Audio MP3 option if it is listed.
Can I download a multi-photo carousel post?
This tool processes video content from a public post; photo-only carousel items are outside its scope.
Does Instagram notify the creator when I download?
No. Video Downloader Plus only reads the public link; nothing is posted to or shown on the creator's account.
Why did my Instagram link fail?
Usually a private account, an archived Reel, an expired Story, or a link that wasn't copied in full. See Troubleshooting & Help.
