Instagram downloader: videos, Reels and photos at original quality

This tool handles the public content people most often want to keep: videos from regular posts, Reels, and photos, including multi-image carousels. Files come through at the same quality Instagram stores them at — nothing gets re-compressed — and you never have to sign in or hand over your account details to use it.

How to get the post link

Open the post in the Instagram app, tap the three dots in the top corner (or the paper-plane Share icon on a Reel) and choose Copy link. Come back to this page, paste the link into the box and press Download. On desktop, the same "..." menu next to a post gives you a Copy link option.

What you can save

  • Single videos and photos from a public profile.
  • Every image in a carousel post, listed separately so you can pick which ones to keep.
  • Reels, downloaded as a standard MP4 you can rewatch or edit offline.

Copyright and fair use

Only public posts can be processed — private accounts stay private, by design. The photos and videos you save still belong to the person who posted them, so keep them for personal use and credit the creator if you ever share the content elsewhere.

Tips for the best result

For carousel posts, wait for the full list of photos and videos to load before picking which ones to save — sometimes a slower connection only shows the first image at first. IGTV and longer-form videos work the same way as regular posts; just copy the link from the video's own share menu.

Is it safe to use?

No Instagram login is ever required. VidFrom only reads the public link you provide to locate the post, and doesn't ask for or store any account credentials — a good habit to check for with any Instagram tool, since fake "viewer" and "downloader" apps are a common source of stolen logins.

Feed posts versus IGTV and longer videos

Instagram has folded most long-form video into regular posts and Reels, but older IGTV links still work the same way here — copy the link from the video's Share menu and paste it in. The tool doesn't distinguish between post types; it simply fetches whatever public video or photo lives at that link.

Business and creator profiles

Business and creator accounts work exactly the same as personal ones for this purpose — what matters is whether the profile is set to public, not the account type. A public business page's product videos and photos download the same way as any other public post; switch to a private account and none of its content is reachable, regardless of category.

Saving content for a moodboard or reference folder

A lot of people use this less for one-off saves and more to build a running folder of inspiration — outfits, recipes, design references — pulled from public posts over time. Since each photo or video downloads as a standalone file, it drops straight into whatever folder structure or moodboard app you're already using.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to log in?

No. You only need the link of a public post, never your account.

Can I save Stories?

Videos, Reels and photos from public posts are supported. Stories only work when the account itself is public.

Is the quality reduced?

No, files are saved at the original quality Instagram stores.
