Two formats, delivered exactly as Instagram published them.

What you receive

Two formats, both exactly as Instagram published them. Nothing is converted, resized or re-compressed on the way to you.

MP4 for reels, feed videos and IGTV JPG for photos and every slide of a carousel

Video

🎬

Reels

Vertical 9:16 video, delivered as the MP4 Instagram serves for that reel with its audio track intact.

  • Original resolution
  • Audio included
  • No re-encoding
📺

Feed video and IGTV

Square, landscape and the longer posts that used to be IGTV all resolve the same way as a reel.

  • Any aspect ratio
  • Same MP4 path
🎵

Audio only

Extracting an MP3 means re-encoding the audio stream, which this tool does not do. The MP4 already contains the audio.

  • MP3 export
  • Audio-only download

Photos

Single photos come back at full size, not the preview thumbnail that many tools return by mistake.

Post typeTypical largest size
Square photo1080 × 1080
Portrait photo1080 × 1350
Landscape photo1080 × 566
Newer high-res uploadsup to 1440 px wide

These are ceilings set by Instagram, which re-compresses every upload. No tool can exceed them, and anything advertising 4K upscaling of an Instagram photo is inventing pixels. More on full-resolution photos.

Carousels

A multi-slide post is one link containing up to 20 child items, and a slide can be a photo or a video in any order.

🎠

Every slide listed

Each item appears separately with its own Save button, tagged MP4 or JPG.

🔀

Mixed media handled

Video slides come as MP4 with audio, photo slides as full-size JPG.

🔢

Order preserved

Slide 3 in the app is the third item in the list, so you can pick the one you actually wanted.

Read the carousel guide.

Watermarks

Instagram does not burn a watermark into reels. The username you see over a reel is drawn by the app's interface, not stored in the video file, so a clean download has nothing to strip.

The exception is a reel that was originally a TikTok. That watermark is part of the image data and no tool can remove it cleanly. More on watermarks.
