Things worth knowing

  • Only public accounts can be resolved. Private accounts require a login that downmy does not ask for and cannot use.
  • Share links and instagr.am short links are expanded automatically.
  • Photo-only posts are not offered as images here — this page handles video.
  • Stories are visible only to logged-in followers, so they are not supported.

Instagram downloader FAQ

Do I need to log in to Instagram?

No. downmy never asks for Instagram credentials. Only publicly accessible posts can be fetched, and that is done without authentication.

Can I download from a private account?

No. Private posts are not publicly accessible, so there is nothing to fetch without an account you would have to hand over. downmy does not accept logins.

Does it work for Stories?

No. Stories are restricted to logged-in followers and are not publicly accessible.

Are Reels downloaded with or without sound?

With sound. The MP4 includes the original audio track.

Can I download a whole carousel at once?

Not as a single archive. A carousel's video item can be fetched from its share link; images are not offered on this page.
