Instagram Downloader
Instagram video downloader
Save Reels, feed videos and Stories as MP4.
Paste an Instagram link and VidMints saves the Reel, feed video or Story to your device as a clean MP4. It runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install and it works the same on iPhone, Android and desktop. It's built for backing up your own Reels, saving content you have rights to reuse, or pulling clips into the editor to repurpose across platforms — please only download content you own or have permission to use.
Open the downloader →What you can do
Reels, feed & Stories
Save short-form Reels, standard feed videos and Stories from public accounts as MP4 files.
Original quality
Downloads keep the resolution Instagram serves for the post, so your saved copy looks like the original.
MP4 and MP3
Keep the full video as MP4, or extract just the audio as MP3 to reuse a sound or voiceover.
No app to install
It's browser-based — no third-party app to sideload and no risk of logging into a sketchy tool.
Free to start
Completely free — no paid plans and no watermarks. Your first couple of downloads need no account; after that a free sign-in keeps you going, at every quality the source offers (up to HD/4K).
Repurpose in one place
Send a download into VidMints to re-caption, resize for other platforms and remix your own content.

Frequently asked questions
How do I download an Instagram Reel?
Copy the Reel's link from its ••• menu, paste it into the VidMints downloader, choose MP4, and save. Everything runs in your browser.
Can I download Instagram Stories?
Yes — you can save Stories from public accounts as MP4. Stories are temporary, so this is useful for keeping your own before they expire.
Do I need to log in or sign up?
You can start downloading public content without connecting your Instagram account. A free VidMints account lets you save your history and unlock higher limits.
Does it keep the original quality?
Yes. The downloader saves the resolution Instagram provides for the post, so there's no extra re-compression added by VidMints.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Because it's fully browser-based, you can save Reels and videos on iPhone or Android with nothing to install.
Is it allowed to download Instagram videos?
Only download content you own or have permission to use, and respect the original creator's copyright and Instagram's Terms of Service. VidMints doesn't host content or break any access controls — it's a saver for content you're entitled to keep.
