The Free Instagram Downloader for Videos, Reels, Photos & Stories
InstaGrab is a fast, free and privacy-friendly online Instagram downloader that lets you save any public Instagram video, reel, photo, IGTV clip, carousel album or story to your device in just one tap. There is nothing to install — no Chrome extension, no mobile app, no signup. Paste the link of the post you want to keep, hit download, and the original-quality file lands in your gallery in seconds. It works the same way on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and even Chromebook.
Why thousands of creators use InstaGrab every day
Instagram doesn't give users a built-in way to save other people's videos or photos, and the few "save" buttons it offers only work inside the app. That's a problem if you want to repost a reel you were tagged in, archive your own old posts, save inspiration to a moodboard, send a clip to a friend on WhatsApp, or pull stock footage for a video edit. InstaGrab solves all of those use cases with a single field on the homepage. Our servers do the heavy lifting — extracting the highest-quality MP4 or JPG available — and stream the file straight to your device. We never re-encode, watermark or shrink the media, so what you download is exactly what was uploaded to Instagram.
What you can download
- Instagram Videos — feed videos in MP4 up to 1080p Full HD via the dedicated Instagram video downloader.
- Reels — vertical short-form videos with original audio, saved through the Instagram reels downloader tool.
- Photos & Carousels — single shots or full multi-image albums in full resolution via the Instagram photo downloader page.
- Stories — anonymous story saving from any public profile through the Instagram story downloader tool. The poster is never notified.
- Profile pictures — grab the full-size avatar of any public account with the Instagram profile picture downloader.
- IGTV — long-form videos in their original aspect ratio and resolution.
How the InstaGrab downloader works
The flow is the same on every device. Open Instagram, find the post you want to keep, tap the three-dot menu and choose "Copy link". Switch to InstaGrab, paste the URL into the input box at the top of the page, and press the Download button. Within a couple of seconds you'll see a preview of the media along with download buttons for each available quality. Tap the one you want, and the file is saved to your camera roll or Downloads folder. There is no queue, no waiting room, and no daily limit — download as many videos and photos as you like.

Privacy & safety
InstaGrab never asks you to log in to Instagram, so your account is never at risk and the original poster has no way of knowing that you saved their content. We don't store the links you submit, we don't keep copies of the files we proxy, and we don't sell or share any data with third parties. The whole site runs over HTTPS and downloads happen peer-to-server-to-you, with nothing cached in between. Read our full InstaGrab privacy policy for the details.
Works on every device
Because InstaGrab is a web app, it works in any modern browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Samsung Internet and more. iPhone and iPad users can save videos straight to the Photos app via the Files share sheet. Android users get a one-tap save to the gallery. On desktop, files go straight to the default Downloads folder. There is no Mac app and no Windows installer to keep updated — open the site, paste a link, done.
A note on copyright
InstaGrab is a tool, not a license. Downloading public Instagram content for personal use — to watch offline, archive your own posts, or send to a friend — is generally considered fair use in most jurisdictions. Re-uploading or monetizing somebody else's video, reel or photo without permission is not, and may violate Instagram's terms as well as copyright law. Always credit the original creator and ask before reposting commercial work. See our full terms of service for more.
