Download Instagram Videos on PC

Saving Instagram videos on a Windows PC is quick and needs no software. Using Instagram’s website and DownloadVideoIG, you can download any public video to your computer in full HD.

Copy the link from the Instagram app (Share → Copy Link) and paste it above. Free & unlimited.

Copy the link from Instagram web

Open instagram.com in your browser, sign in if you like, and click the video. Click the three-dot menu and choose Copy Link, or copy the URL from the address bar.

Paste the link here

Come to DownloadVideoIG, click the input box, press Ctrl+V to paste, and click Download. The tool loads the video and shows a preview.

Download to your computer

Click the download button. Your browser saves the MP4 to your Downloads folder, ready to watch in any media player or edit in your video software.

Great for creators and editors

On a PC you can download in HD and drop the file straight into editing tools like Premiere, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut for compilations, reactions or archives — always respecting the original creator’s rights.

Ideal for building an editing library

On a PC you have the storage and screen space to organise downloaded clips into folders for projects. Save your source videos in HD, then drop them straight into your editor — no phone-to-computer transfer needed.

Right-click saving as a backup

If your browser previews the video instead of downloading, right-click the preview and choose “Save video as…”, or use the download button our tool provides, which forces a proper file save with a clean filename.

DownloadVideoIG is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. Only download content you own or have permission to use, and respect all applicable copyright.
