HOW TO
How to download Instagram content
Everything you actually need to save a reel, video, photo, carousel, story or highlight from Instagram — on your phone or your computer, in the best quality Instagram makes available. No login, no app to install.icon
The process is the same for almost everything on Instagram: copy the link to the post, paste it into SnapPullr, and download. It takes under a minute and works right in your browser. Below we walk through it in detail — including where your files end up, what to do when something doesn’t work, and how each type of content (reels, carousels, stories, and more) behaves.
Before you start
There’s very little to set up. If you can open Instagram and open this site, you already have everything you need.
A device with a browser — any phone, tablet or computer. SnapPullr runs in the browser, there is nothing extra to install.
The link to the content you want to save. We'll cover exactly how to copy it in step 1.
A public post, or content you're allowed to access. Anything you can view without logging in will save on this site.
The 3 steps
This is the core workflow. Once you’ve done it once, it’s muscle memory.
Copy the link
Open the reel, post or story on Instagram, tap Share, then Copy Link.
Paste it above
Drop the link into the box and we’ll locate the original file for you.
Download it
Tap download — the file saves straight to your gallery or device.

SnapPullr supports the most popular types of publicly accessible Instagram content.

Troubleshooting
