Instagram intentionally disables native video downloads to keep users on-platform and protect creator content. The app only lets you "Save" posts to your private collection — which just bookmarks them, it doesn't actually download the video file to your device.
However, public Instagram content is technically accessible — the video files are hosted on Meta's CDN servers. Online tools like Pasha Tools fetch those files directly so you can download them.

Can I Download Private Instagram Videos?
Private accounts only — No
Private Instagram videos cannot be downloaded by anyone except the account owner. The tool only works with public posts and Reels. This is by design — respecting the creator's privacy settings.
FAQ
Can I download Instagram Stories?
Stories from public accounts can be downloaded while they are live (within 24 hours). After they expire, they are no longer accessible.
Why is my downloaded Instagram video low quality?
Instagram sometimes serves lower-quality versions. Try downloading during off-peak hours for better quality, or use the "HD" option when available.
Does this work for IGTV and Instagram Live replays?
Yes — the downloader supports IGTV videos and saved Instagram Live replays that are posted publicly.
Is it legal to download Instagram videos?
Downloading for personal, non-commercial use is generally fine. Reposting someone else's content without credit or permission may violate copyright laws and Instagram's terms of service.
