Download Instagram
reels & videos
Paste a link, get the clean original MP4 — straight to your device.
A free Instagram video downloader
Paste any Instagram reel or video link and this downloader hands you the original MP4 — the clean video exactly as it was uploaded. It works with reel /reel/, feed-post /p/, and IGTV /tv/ links, and pulls the video slide out of a carousel too.
No app to install, no account to log into, and nothing to clean up afterwards — the video streams straight through to your device and is never stored on our servers.

HD quality, straight from the source
Every download is HD — up to the video's original upload resolution. We read the versions Instagram serves and pick the highest-quality MP4, the format that plays everywhere: your phone's gallery, your desktop player, and any video editor.
No re-encoding, no quality loss beyond what Instagram itself stores, and nothing added to the frame — Instagram videos are already clean, so you get the original.
Why use Scavio's Instagram downloader
- Original quality. You get the clean MP4 straight from the source, not a re-encoded copy.
- Nothing stored. The video streams through and is gone the moment it reaches you — we keep neither the file nor the link.
- No ads, no app, no login to start. Three downloads free in your browser; sign up free to keep going.
- Built on a real API. The same Scavio Instagram API that powers this tool is available for your own code — fetch posts, reels, profiles, and search at scale.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for reels and video posts?+
Yes. It downloads Instagram reels (/reel/), feed videos (/p/), and IGTV (/tv/) posts. For a carousel, it pulls the video slide. Photo-only posts have no video to download.
Can I download videos from private accounts?+
No. Like every Instagram downloader, this only works with public posts. Private or followers-only content can't be fetched.
What quality do I get — is it HD?+
It's HD, up to the video's original upload resolution. We read the versions Instagram serves and pick the highest-quality MP4, the format that plays on any phone, desktop, or editor.
Which Instagram links work?+
Any public reel or video link — a /reel/ or /reels/ URL, a /p/ feed-post URL, or a /tv/ IGTV URL, copied from the app's share sheet or your browser's address bar.
How do I download an Instagram reel on iPhone?+
Open this page in Safari or Chrome, paste the link, and tap Download. The MP4 saves to your Files, and you can move it to your Camera Roll. No shortcut or app is needed.
How do I download on Android or desktop?+
It works in any browser. On Android the video lands in your Downloads or Gallery, and on Windows or Mac desktops it saves to your Downloads folder, ready to share or re-post.
Does it add a watermark?+
No. Instagram videos are already clean, and we hand you the original file exactly as it was uploaded — nothing is stamped, cropped, or added to the frame.
Can I download the audio or MP3?+
Not yet — this tool downloads the video file. You can extract the audio from the MP4 in any editor in the meantime.
Can I download photos or stories?+
Not yet. Today the tool handles reels and video posts. Photo and story downloaders may come later as separate tools.
Is the Instagram downloader free?+
Yes. The first three downloads are free with no account. After that, sign up free to keep going — downloads then run on your own Scavio credits.
Do you store my videos or links?+
No. The file streams straight through to your browser and is never saved on our servers. We keep neither the video nor the link.
Can I use this in my own code?+
Yes. The tool runs on the Scavio Instagram API. The same POST /api/v1/instagram/post endpoint returns the post data programmatically for pipelines and agents.
