Download IGTV, feed and carousel videos

Long IGTV videos, regular feed videos and videos tucked inside carousel posts all work the same way: paste the post link (instagram.com/p/… or /tv/…) and every video in it appears with its own download button.

Saving short-form clips? The Instagram reels downloader is tuned for reels. For the sound only, use the Instagram audio downloader, and for pictures, the Instagram photo downloader.
