Meet Buzzoid's Free Instagram Video Downloader

Buzzoid's free Instagram video downloader allows you to quickly and effectively save the videos you see on the app to your device or computer. That's a very big deal.

Your Growth Magic

Here is why you should give us a try.

If you've spent any time on the Gram, you'd probably agree that one of the most frustrating problems you run into there is that the system won't let you download videos that you want to save and watch again later or show to a friend or family member.

The inability to download IG videos isn't a bug, it's a feature. The platform was designed to prohibit users from saving the vids that other users have posted; allowing people to download content would essentially double the load on Instagram's servers, costing Meta (the parent company) a ton of money and opening up a Pandora's Box of legal issues.

Instagram's Download Policy

At Buzzoid, we don't think that's fair to Insta users who simply want to save videos that made them laugh, made them cry, or made them think. That's why we created this free Instagram video downloader. It gives Instagrammers the option that they've been begging for over the last decade — in fact, ever since the app was launched.

Free Instagram Video Downloader

Buzzoid's downloader tool allows you to quickly save any video you see on a public Instagram account (videos posted to private accounts that aren't visible to all users can't be downloaded). The content will be saved in its original form so there's no loss of quality, either. You can enjoy the video as many times as you want whenever you want, and share it with friends who aren't on the platform.

We've made the Buzzoid Instagram video downloader available free of charge to everyone who visits our website. There's no obligation, we don't ask for personal information like your IG account details, credit card number, or email address. You don't even have to be a Buzzoid client to use the tool. And you can use the IG downloader as many times as you'd like. It's the feature that makes the Instagram experience complete.

Who Needs to Download Instagram Videos?

It's hard to imagine any regular IG user who hasn't wanted to download at least a few videos they've found on the app.

Makeup and How-to

Instagram is a fertile source of makeup, home improvement, and all sorts of other how-to tutorials that are best used on your own time and at your convenience, rather than when you happen to be logged into the system.

Pet & Prank Videos

Many of the pet and prank videos uploaded to IG are so cute or so funny that they deserve to be in users' personal collections for years' worth of enjoyment.

Informational Segment

There are tons of informational and explainer videos that deserve to be shared with family members or friends when and where you happen to see them.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We've all seen videos of all types that we've had the urge to save permanently — but when they're on Instagram they're viewable now, gone forever. (To be fair, it's the same story on most social media platforms, which also ban user downloads for the same reasons that Insta does.)

The Long-Awaited Solution

For years, the most frustrating aspect of using Instagram has been the inability to download IG videos.

Buzzoid has solved the problem, and we're pleased to be able to offer access to our free IG video download tool to everyone.

Why Won't Instagram Offer a Video Download Option?

It's the decision they made when the platform was first launched, and most competitors have followed suit. Quite honestly, it's an understandable decision.

Server Load

There are billions of videos stored on Instagram cloud servers (100 million pieces of content are uploaded by users every day). The server load that would be caused by allowing the app's two billion+ users to download all of the videos they want would run up enormous additional expenses that would put huge financial pressures on the company. In a nutshell, it saves Instagram a lot of money to prohibit downloads.

Creator Rights

There's another, equally-important issue that's solved by banning video downloads on Instagram. The content uploaded by creators belongs to the creators; the platform doesn't have the right to permit users to use downloaded videos however they want. If an IG user takes someone else's video and posts it elsewhere, claiming that they own it or created it, that could lead to complicated legal issues for Instagram. Banning downloads eliminates that possibility.

Personal Use

At Buzzoid, we trust you more than Instagram does. The videos you save by using our IG downloader tool are for your personal use only, and we believe our website visitors are smart enough to understand that. You're welcome to save as many Instagram videos as you'd like, as often as you'd like — but they're for your personal use and enjoyment only. If you want to use them for other purposes, please get your own legal advice first.

Can I Download Any Instagram Video with the Buzzoid Tool?

Just about. Content uploaded to IG accounts set as “private” isn't visible to anyone who hasn't been given permission to view it, so no tool would be able to access videos from protected accounts.

Your Growth Magic

Instagram Videos in Original Quality

Almost all Instagram accounts are public, though, so virtually all videos that have been uploaded to the app can be downloaded through Buzzoid's tool with no problem whatsoever.

And the videos you save will be in their original resolution and format. That means the 4K high-definition videos you see on Instagram will be downloaded and saved in 4K and high-definition on your computer or device. The bitrates, sizes, and even the high-quality audio found on your chosen IG vids will remain the same.

Patience Pays Off

The only other thing to be aware of is that your download can take a few minutes to complete, depending on the length of the video and your connection speed.

Just be patient, and you'll have the Instagram videos you've always wanted to save available any time you want them.

Instructions for Using Buzzoid's Instagram Video Downloader

We've built our IG download tool to be easy to understand and easy to use.

Start by finding the Instagram video you want to save to your phone, tablet, or machine.

If the video is on a user's feed (or your own), you'll first have to navigate to the video's page by right-clicking on the preview image or video and choosing “open link in new tab.” Once you're on the proper page, copy the URL from the address bar at the top of your screen.

Next, paste that URL into the box at the top of this page and click “Download.”

You'll now see a new page that shows the video you want to download. On computers and some devices, simply right-click and choose “save video as.”

On some other devices, you may see a download link on the new page, or you may have to click on three dots at the bottom of the page that will make the download link visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Buzzoid's IG download tool work with videos uploaded to Reels?

Absolutely. You just need the URL of the Reels video and you can download it with no problem.

How many videos can I download using the Buzzoid downloader?

As many as you'd like. There are no limits on the number of downloads you can request, and you don't even have to be a regular Buzzoid customer to have full access to this Instagram tool (or any of the others available on our website).

Is there any catch?

None whatsoever. We don't ask for your email, so you'll never be spammed. We don't ask for your IG account information, so your account can never be compromised. And we don't ask for your credit card number, so you can't be hit with any unexpected “surprises.” When we say something's free and without obligation, we mean it.

Is this safe?

Completely. We're simply accessing videos posted on Instagram and making them directly available for download on the Buzzoid site. The videos haven't been altered or edited in any way, so nothing malicious can be in their code.

Do I have to be an IG user to take advantage of this service?

We don't restrict the use of our tool to only Instagram users, but it can be difficult for you to find and copy the URL of the IG video you want to download if you don't have an Insta account.

Does this break any laws?

No one has ever faced legal problems for downloading user-created videos from social media sites. The more important issue is what you do with that material, and you won't have any problems if you only save it for your own personal use.
