Pro Tips for Best Results
- Prefer Wi-Fi — avoids mobile data overage when downloading large files.
- Use Desktop for Editing — desktop downloads integrate easily with editing suites.
- Check License — when repurposing, ensure you have rights to use the content.
- Save Original — download before the original is deleted or the account becomes private.
- Use Proxy for Previews — if the thumbnail fails, use the proxied preview link to ensure downloadability.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Video Preview Not Showing
Instagram often blocks embedded thumbnails. The underlying video file may still be downloadable — check the Download button.
Unsupported / Private
Private content cannot be accessed. Ensure the source is public and the link is correct.
Audio Missing
Some videos use platform-specific audio layers; in rare cases audio tracks may be unavailable. Try another post or check the original source.

Frequently Asked Questions – Instagram Video Downloader
Is the video downloader free?
Yes — SnapInsta-Pro provides this service free of charge and supports itself with ads.
Do I need an Instagram account?
No login is required. We only work with publicly available content.
Will the videos have watermarks?
No — we provide the original file as hosted by Instagram, without added watermarks.
Can I download Reels and IGTV too?
Yes — this tool supports Reels and IGTV links. We also provide specialized tools for Reels and IGTV on our site.
Why is the preview black or missing?
Instagram may block remote previews. That doesn't affect downloads; use the download links or the proxy preview.
Can I extract audio only?
Yes — our backend can optionally return audio-only files (MP3). We may offer this as a separate action in the future.
What file format will I get?
Videos are returned as MP4 (the standard widely supported container). Codec depends on source, typically H.264.
Is there a size limit?
We support typical Instagram video sizes. Extremely large or corrupted files may fail—try again later if you encounter issues.
Are downloads stored on your server?
No. We fetch and serve files in real time. We do not keep a permanent copy of your downloads.
Why did the request time out?
Network issues or API rate limits can cause timeouts. If this occurs, retry after a short while or try a different link.
How do I download on iPhone?
On iPhone, open the download link, tap the share button, and choose 'Save Video' or 'Download Linked File' depending on the browser.
Can I use downloaded videos commercially?
Only if you have the rights or permission. Downloading for redistribution or commercial use without permission may infringe copyright.
What if the video has multiple segments?
We assemble available segments into a single downloadable file when the API provides them; otherwise, we provide the best available single file link.
Does it work for stories?
Publicly accessible story links can be downloaded using our Stories Downloader tool — use that specialized page for best results.
