Not supportedRights
What you can and cannot do with a download
A downloader moves a file. It does not hand you rights to that file. What you may do with it depends on who made it.
You are covered when
It is your own post
Anything you uploaded yourself, you can save and reuse freely, in full quality, any time you want.
The creator said yes, in writing
A direct grant covers you: a DM, a comment or an email saying it is fine to repost. Instagram's "Allow sharing to Stories" toggle is not that. It permits an in-app reshare, not redistribution elsewhere.
Before you assume you are covered
Public is not a licence
A public account means anyone can view the post inside Instagram. It does not mean anyone may copy the file and republish it. Copyright belongs to the creator from the moment they upload, with or without caption credit.
You just want your own data back
To recover your own uploads, open Settings, then Accounts Center, then Your information and permissions, then Download your information. You get the original files, not a re-encoded copy.
What people say
Sample reviews, shown while we collect real ones
Any Instagram video, one box
I stopped keeping three downloader tabs open. Feed video, Reel, long upload, they all go in the same field and come out as MP4.
Social media strategist
Saved a video a supplier posted so I could show it in a meeting offline. Took one paste and the quality held up on a projector.
Procurement lead
No watermark stamped on it and no re-encode. I compared the file against the one I uploaded and it was the same.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which Instagram videos does this work on?
Any public one. Feed videos, Reels and the longer uploads that used to be called IGTV all resolve from the same link box, because Instagram serves them from the same CDN. Private accounts stay out of reach.
What quality do I get, and is there a watermark?
Whatever the CDN serves for that upload, usually up to 1080p, shown before you download. Nothing is upscaled, re-encoded or stamped, so you get the file the creator uploaded.
Is it legal to download Instagram videos?
Saving your own content, or content you have permission to save, is not a legal problem. Reposting someone else's work without permission can infringe their copyright, whether or not the account is public.
Do I need to log in to my Instagram account?
No. ClipDeck never asks for your Instagram credentials and never stores a session for you. Every tool here, the story viewer included, works without you signing in to anything.
Will this work on a private account?
No. Private accounts need the owner's approval to view, and we will not work around that. Only public posts, Reels, profiles and stories resolve.
What resolution do I actually get?
Whatever resolution Instagram serves for that upload, shown to you before you click download. Usually up to 1080p for video. We never upscale or re-encode, so you get the same file Instagram's CDN holds.
Do you store the files I download?
No. Each result is a temporary signed link created for that one request. Nothing is cached or archived on our side once the link expires.
Why did my link fail to resolve?
Usually a private account, a deleted or expired post, or a URL copied incorrectly. The error message tells you which one it was rather than failing silently.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern mobile browser on iOS and Android, with nothing to install. Where a mobile browser blocks a direct download, we show you the fallback instead of failing quietly.
