Instagram Post Downloader
Save any Instagram post — video, photo, or carousel — in one tool. Download all post types as MP4 or JPEG to your phone or computer for free.
Download any type of Instagram post
This is the all-in-one option. The Instagram post downloader handles every type of content you'll find in someone's feed: single photos, videos, Reels, and carousel posts with a mix of both. Paste the post link and the tool figures out what type of content it is and gives you the right download options.
How it handles different post types
When you paste a link, the tool checks what's behind it. For a single photo, you get a JPEG download. For a video or Reel, you get an MP4. Carousels are where it gets interesting. The tool shows all items in the carousel and lets you download each one individually. Mixed carousels with both photos and videos? Those work too.
When to use this vs. specific tools
If you know exactly what you're downloading (a Reel, a photo, audio), the dedicated tools on this site are a bit more focused. But if you're just copying post links and downloading whatever they contain, this tool handles everything. It's the Swiss Army knife approach.
Step by step
- Go to the post on Instagram (app or web browser)
- Copy the link using the share button or from the browser URL bar
- Paste it into the input field on this page
- Click download
- Choose your file and save it
Quality details
Photos download at up to 1080px wide (Instagram's maximum storage resolution). Videos and Reels download at 720p or 1080p depending on the original upload. The Instagram post downloader doesn't compress anything further. What Instagram has is what you get.
Carousel posts
Carousel posts can contain up to 20 items. When you paste a carousel link, the tool loads all items and displays them with individual download buttons. Each item downloads as its own file, photos as JPEG and videos as MP4. There's no option to download all 20 as a zip file, so you'll need to save them one at a time.
Public posts only
Like all our tools, this works with public accounts. If the poster has a private account and you don't follow them, the link won't resolve. There's no workaround for this. Instagram's privacy settings are server-side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about downloading Instagram content.
What types of Instagram posts can I download?
All of them. Single photos, videos, Reels, and carousel posts with multiple images or videos. The tool detects the type automatically.
Can I download an entire carousel in one click?
No. Each item in a carousel downloads separately. The tool shows all items and you save them individually.
What format do posts download in?
Photos download as JPEG, videos and Reels as MP4. The tool selects the right format based on the content type.
Can I download posts from public business accounts?
Yes. Public is public, whether it's a personal account, creator account, or business account. The tool treats them all the same.
How do I copy a post link on the mobile app?
Tap the three-dot menu at the top right of the post, then tap 'Copy Link.' You can also use the share button (paper airplane icon) and select 'Copy Link.'
Does this work with sponsored posts or ads?
It depends. Some sponsored posts have standard URLs that work fine. Others use ad-specific links that may not resolve properly.
Can I download posts that someone else tagged me in?
Yes, as long as the post is on a public account. The tagging doesn't affect whether the content can be downloaded.
Why does the tool show multiple download options?
For carousels, each slide is a separate file. For videos, you might see different quality options. Pick whichever one you need.
