How to Download Instagram Videos & Reels (Free, No App)

Instagram doesn't give you a built-in "download" button for videos and Reels. Here's the fastest way to save one to your device — from your phone or a computer.

Steps

  1. Open the post or Reel in the Instagram app or on instagram.com.
  2. Tap the three dots (⋯) and choose "Copy link."
  3. Paste the link into Stelluna's Video Downloader.
  4. Choose MP4 or MP3 and download — no login required on your end.

Does it work on private accounts?

This works reliably on public posts and Reels. Content from private accounts generally can't be fetched, since the underlying video isn't publicly accessible — that's an Instagram restriction, not something any downloader tool can bypass.

FAQ

Can I download Instagram Stories too?

The tool is built around post and Reel links. Stories use a different, temporary link format that isn't supported.

Is it free?

Yes, completely — no sign-up, no watermark added.

Can I get just the audio from a Reel?

Yes, pick the MP3 option after pasting the link.

Is this legal?

Only download and reuse content you own or have permission to use — respect the original creator's rights.
