Instagram Video Download
Instagram video download is deliberately awkward — the app lets you save posts to a private collection, but never gives you the file. This free tool does: paste any public Instagram video link and download the original MP4 in its full upload quality.
It covers the whole platform: Reels, regular video posts, and longer videos. What you get is Instagram's source file — notably without the watermark Instagram burns into Reels saved through the app itself.
No login, no app install, no browser extension. It works in Safari, Chrome, and in-app browsers on iPhone and Android, plus any desktop browser.
By using this tool you agree to our Terms of Service — download only content you have the right to save.

Why use Ultra Video Downloader?
Original upload quality
Not a screen recording, not a recompressed copy — the actual file Instagram serves, at the creator's upload quality.
No watermark
Instagram stamps its logo on Reels saved in-app. Downloads here skip that entirely — clean video, no branding.
Reels, posts & videos
Short Reels, classic video posts, longer uploads — if it's a public Instagram video link, it downloads.
Stories too
Public story videos work the same way. See also our dedicated Instagram Story downloader.
No Instagram login
Public content needs no account. Any downloader asking for your Instagram password is phishing — close it.
Free & unlimited
No caps, no premium tier, no quality paywall. Save as many public Instagram videos as you want.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download a video from Instagram?+
Copy the link (••• → Copy link on the post), paste it into the downloader above, and save the MP4. Works for Reels, video posts, and longer videos — public accounts only.
Can I download Instagram videos without the watermark?+
Yes — that's the main advantage here. Instagram adds its watermark only to in-app saves; this tool fetches the clean source file with no watermark at all.
What quality will the Instagram video be?+
Original upload quality — typically 1080p for Reels and posts. We serve Instagram's source file, never a downscaled copy.
Can I download videos from private Instagram accounts?+
No. Private accounts are protected by Instagram, and no legitimate tool can download from them. Only public posts work.
Does it work for Instagram Stories?+
Yes, public story videos download the same way. We also have a dedicated Instagram Story downloader page.
Is downloading Instagram videos legal?+
Saving public videos for personal offline viewing is generally acceptable; reposting or monetizing someone else's content without permission can violate copyright. Respect creators' rights.
Instagram video download shouldn't require screen recording or shady apps. One link, one paste, one clean MP4 — that's the whole method.
