Does it support Instagram Reels?

Yes. Paste any instagram.com/reel/xxxx URL and we return the MP4 video plus the cover thumbnail. The same parser handles regular video posts (/p/xxxx).

Can I download Instagram photo carousels?

Yes. Multi-image posts return every photo in the carousel as a separate downloadable asset — save all or pick favorites.

What about Instagram Stories?

Stories are 24-hour content and not consistently available to save. You can try, but expect occasional failures for ephemeral content.

Do I need to log in to Instagram?

No. Public posts and Reels parse without any login. Private accounts and Close Friends Stories cannot be accessed.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes. Open videofish.cc/instagram in Safari, paste the Reel link, and tap Download. Use Files → Save to Photos to add the MP4 to your camera roll.

About the Instagram downloader

Instagram has no save button for Reels, video posts, or photo carousels — by design, to keep you scrolling in-app. The Videofish Instagram downloader is how you get that content onto your own device.

Paste a Reel link for the MP4, a /p/ photo link for the JPG, or a carousel link to pull every image at once. Everything lands in one clean, phone-friendly result.

No Instagram login, no extension, no ad redirects — public content is one paste away from your camera roll.

How to Use

How to download an Instagram Reel or photo

Save any public Instagram Reel, video, or photo carousel in seconds.

Step-by-step

Open the Instagram post

Find the Reel, video post, or photo carousel you want to save. Tap the three-dot menu (top right).

Tap Copy Link

Choose Copy Link from the menu. The full instagram.com URL is now on your clipboard.

Paste into Videofish

Open videofish.cc/instagram in your browser and paste the link. Tap Download.

Save the asset

Tap Download on the Reel MP4, individual photos, or every carousel image. On iPhone, save to Photos via Files.

Pro tips

Reels return both the MP4 and a cover thumbnail — grab the cover for a YouTube Short thumbnail.

For photo carousels, every image is returned individually — bulk-download all or pick the best one.

Private accounts and Close Friends content cannot be parsed — this is an Instagram restriction, not a limitation of Videofish.

If a copied link includes ?utm_source= tracking, strip it for cleaner results (optional but recommended).
