What this service does
Instagram Video Downloader lets you paste the URL of a publicly accessible Instagram Reel, video, photo or carousel post. Our server looks up the media for that link through a third-party media API and returns the download options shown on the page. No Instagram account or password is ever requested.
Information we process
- The Instagram URL you submit. It is sent to our server so the media can be located, and to the third-party media API that resolves it.
- Technical request data. Standard web server data such as IP address, user agent, timestamp and requested path. This is used for security, abuse prevention and rate limiting.
- Short-lived cache. Resolved media information may be held in server memory for a short period so repeated lookups of the same post are faster. It expires automatically.
What we do not collect
- We do not ask for Instagram credentials and cannot access your Instagram account.
- We do not require registration, and we do not build user profiles.
- We do not store the media files you download on a permanent basis; files are streamed through to your browser.
Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-97LJH5BRXZ) to understand how the site is used: page views, whether a pasted link resolves, and whether a download is started. Google may set cookies or use similar identifiers and receive standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. We do not send the Instagram URL you paste to Google Analytics. You can opt out with a browser add-on such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking analytics cookies in your browser.
Third-party services
To resolve links, requests are sent to a third-party Instagram media API, and media files are fetched from Instagram's own content delivery network. Those providers process the request under their own terms and privacy policies.
Data retention
Cached media metadata expires within minutes. Server logs, if retained, should be kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.
Children
This service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data relating to you. Email [email protected] or use the contact page.
Copyright
Only download content you own or have permission to use. Rights holders can request removal of infringing behaviour by emailing [email protected].
Changes
We may update this policy. The revision date at the top of the page always reflects the current version.
