FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers for the questions people ask most.

Which Instagram links work?

Public Reels (/reel/ or /reels/), posts (/p/), and IGTV (/tv/) links work when the media is still public. Private accounts, Stories, and login-walled posts usually fail.

Can I download Instagram Stories?

Not reliably. Stories are ephemeral and often require login. This tool targets public Reels and posts.

Does this work on iPhone or Android?

Yes. In Instagram use Share → Copy link, paste into Safari or Chrome here, then save the prepared file.

Can I extract audio as MP3?

Yes. After preview, choose MP3 when you only need the soundtrack from a public Reel or post.

Why did my Instagram download fail?

Private profiles, restricted regions, deleted media, or Instagram rate limits are common causes. Retry later with a full public /reel/ URL. Cookies may be required for some posts.
