Does this work for Reels and normal posts?

Both, and for photos as well as video. Paste whichever link you have.

How do I get just one photo from a carousel?

Paste the post link and every slide comes back as its own file. Save the one you want and ignore the rest.

Can I download stories with this?

Stories have their own page here, because their links look different and the two are separate things. Use the story downloader for those.

No, and you should be wary of any downloader that asks you to. Handing your Instagram password to a website is how accounts get taken.

Can I download from a private account?

No. This reaches only what is public. A private account's posts are not, and no tool that respects that can fetch them.

Will the poster be notified?

No. Instagram sends no notification for saving a post. Reposting is a separate question — ask the creator first.

Instagram Video & Reels Downloader

Paste a link to a public Instagram post or Reel and save what is in it. A carousel comes back as separate files, one per slide, so you can take just the one you wanted.

Posting Reels yourself?

This tool saves media that is already public. You are responsible for how you use what you save — respect the rights of the person who made it, and get their permission before reposting. If something here infringes your copyright, email support@flowfame.com and we will remove access to it.

What this page covers

Reels: Links containing /reel/ or /reels/. This is what most people arrive here for.
Feed posts: Links containing /p/, whether the post holds a video or a photo.
Carousels: Every slide comes back separately rather than as one merged file.
Stories: A different page — stories have their own link shape and their own tool here.
Private accounts: Not supported. If you cannot see a post without following, neither can this.
Share parameters: The ?igsh= tag Instagram adds when you copy a link identifies the account that copied it. It is stripped before the link goes anywhere.

How to download an Instagram video

Open the post or Reel, tap the three dots and choose Copy link.
Paste it above and press the button.
Save the file. Instagram's own copy is what you get, at the quality it serves.

Get your own Reels seen

Views decide whether Instagram shows a Reel beyond your own followers. That is the part worth investing in.
