How to download Instagram videos on a computer
On a computer there's nothing to install: everything happens in your web browser. It works the same in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on Windows and on Mac.
Download Instagram videos and Reels
Get the link
On instagram.com, open the Reel or post you want. Either of these gives you its link:
- Copy the address from your browser's address bar while the post is open, or
- Click the ⋯ button on the post, then Copy link.
Download it
- Go to keepclip.app in another tab.
- Click in the box, press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac), then click Get download links.
- Click Download video or Download photo. For a carousel, each photo and video has its own button.
Where the file goes
Into your Downloads folder. On Windows, open File Explorer and click Downloads. On a Mac, open Finder and click Downloads, or use the Downloads stack in the Dock.
If you'd rather see the file before saving it, hold Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) while you click Download: it opens in a new tab instead.
