# Free Instagram Video Downloader

> Download Instagram Reels and videos in full HD, free, with no watermark and no app. Paste the link, get the MP4. Works on desktop and mobile, no login.

Free, no account required.

## How to use it

1. **Copy the link.** On Instagram, open the Reel or video, tap the three dots and choose Copy link.
2. **Paste it.** Paste the link into the box above.
3. **Download.** Press Download and the MP4 saves to your device in the highest quality Instagram serves.

## Instagram Reels and videos, in full quality

This pulls the original MP4 Instagram hosts, not a re-encoded, watermarked copy. You get the same resolution the creator uploaded, up to 1080p, with the audio intact.

It works for public Reels and feed videos. Private accounts and stories are not downloadable — that is by design, and no tool that respects Instagram can change it.

## No watermark, no app, no account

Most downloaders stamp their own watermark on the file or make you install something. This does neither. The file you get is clean, and the whole thing runs in your browser tab.

One free download a day. If you download for work — repurposing Reels, building a swipe file, studying what performs — make a free account and it is unlimited, plus you can turn any video into a click-worthy thumbnail.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it really free?

Yes. One download per day with no account; unlimited once you sign up free. No watermark either way.

### Does it work with Reels?

Yes, Reels and normal feed videos both work. Paste the Reel or post link and download the MP4.

### Can I download private or story videos?

No. Only public Reels and videos can be downloaded. Private posts and stories are not accessible, and we do not bypass that.

### Will there be a watermark?

No. You get the original file Instagram hosts, with no added watermark or logo.

### Is it legal to download Instagram videos?

Downloading for personal use is generally fine, but the video still belongs to its creator. Only reuse or repost content you have the rights to, and credit the creator.
