Reels vs. IGTV vs. Video Posts
Instagram has merged most video formats into "Reels," but older posts may still use the /tv/ or /p/ URL structure. Our downloader is smart enough to handle all of them automatically.
How to Download
- Locate the video post or IGTV video.
- Copy the link (it may look like instagram.com/p/XXXX or instagram.com/tv/XXXX).
- Paste it into our Video Downloader tool.
- The backend will normalize the URL and extract the highest quality MP4 video file available.
Note: Older videos uploaded before 2020 may max out at 720p resolution, as Instagram did not support 1080p for all formats at that time.
