Frequently asked

Is IGDL really free?+

Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermark, no daily limit.

Which formats do I get?+

The original MP4 that Instagram serves (video + audio in one file) for reels/videos, and full-resolution JPGs for photos and carousels.

Can I download private posts?+

No. IGDL only works with public Instagram content, out of respect for creators' privacy.

Do you store my downloads?+

Never. Links are processed in-memory and discarded the moment your download starts.

What kinds of Instagram links work?+

Public posts, reels, IGTV videos, photo carousels and stories that are viewable without logging in. Just copy the link from the Instagram app (tap the ••• menu → Copy link) or paste the URL straight from your browser.

Why is my link not working?+

Most often the post is private, deleted, or the account is age-restricted. Double-check that the link opens in an incognito browser window — if it doesn't load there either, IGDL can't fetch it.

What quality are the downloads?+

You get the highest quality Instagram serves for that post — typically up to 1080p for videos and reels. Every quality Instagram offers for the post is listed on its own card, so you can pick a smaller file if you prefer.
