Frequently asked questions
Can I download a video from a private Instagram account?+
Not with a link-based tool like this one. The video is only visible to approved followers, so it cannot be fetched from a public link.
What about sites that promise private downloads?+
Many are scams or ask for your login, which can get your account hijacked. Do not enter your password anywhere but Instagram.
I follow the account. Does that help?+
You can watch the video in the app, but this tool still cannot fetch it. Ask the owner to send you the file.
How do I save a public video instead?+
Copy the link, paste it above and press Fetch.
Can I reuse a video I download?+
Only with the creator's permission and credit. The video still belongs to them, so download for personal viewing or content you own.
