IGTV content and longer feed videos are supported too, not just short Reels. Download interviews, tutorials, and series episodes you want to watch offline.

How to download Instagram Reels and videos

Instagram has become one of the biggest platforms for short-form video content, with Reels in particular pulling in billions of views every day. Whether it's a fitness routine you want to follow offline, a cooking Reel you want to watch without burning data, or travel content that inspired a trip you're planning, saving Instagram videos has become something a lot of people need to do regularly.
Instagram does give you the option to save posts to Collections within the app, but that keeps the content inside the platform. It doesn't let you actually download the file to your device for offline use outside of Instagram. That's what YTPro is for.
Types of Instagram content you can download
Instagram Reels
Reels are vertical short videos up to 90 seconds long. They're the most commonly downloaded type of Instagram content. To get the link, tap the three-dot menu on a Reel and tap Copy Link.
Instagram Feed Videos
Regular video posts in the Instagram feed - including older IGTV-format content that has been integrated into the main feed - are also supported. These are often longer and higher resolution.
Instagram Stories
Public Stories can be downloaded before or after they expire from a profile's 24-hour Story section. Once a Story is gone from Instagram, it's no longer accessible through any tool, so download before the deadline if it's something you want to keep.

What quality do Instagram videos download at?
Instagram stores videos in compressed formats. Most Reels and recent feed videos are available at 1080p, though older posts or videos from users with lower upload quality might be lower resolution. YTPro always fetches the highest quality version that Instagram makes available for each specific post.
One thing worth knowing: Instagram re-encodes video when you upload it. So a Reel you shot in 4K on your iPhone will be stored and served by Instagram at a lower resolution. What you download through YTPro is the best version Instagram has, not the original camera file.
Downloading your own Instagram content
If you've posted Reels or videos and want to keep a download-quality backup outside of Instagram, that's a perfectly reasonable use case. Your own public posts can be downloaded through YTPro the same way as any other public content.
Alternatively, Instagram's official data export feature (under Settings, Account, Download Your Data) gives you all your content in original quality - useful if you need a bulk export rather than individual downloads.
Privacy considerations
YTPro does not store the URLs you paste or the videos you access. The tool fetches download links and delivers them to your browser. Nothing is retained on our side. Private Instagram accounts cannot be accessed through this tool under any circumstances.
If you need to save videos from other platforms too, our TikTok downloader, Facebook video downloader, and YouTube downloader work the same way and are just as fast.
Conclusion
Whether you're saving a Reel from a creator you follow, archiving a Story before it disappears, or keeping a backup of a video you posted yourself, YTPro makes the process straightforward. Paste the link, click download, and the video is on your device. No Instagram account, no browser extension, no steps you don't need.

Quality depends on what Instagram stored for that specific video. Most current Reels and feed posts are served at 1080p. YTPro always retrieves the highest quality version available for the link you provide.
Downloading for personal offline viewing of public content is generally tolerated, though Instagram's Terms of Service do technically restrict it. Reposting or commercially using someone else's content without permission can infringe on their copyright.
