What FastDL does with Instagram videos
FastDL retrieves the video file that Instagram serves when you watch a post. The same stream your browser plays in-app is what we deliver to you as a downloadable MP4. We don't re-encode, watermark or modify anything.
For carousel posts with a mix of videos and photos, each item appears separately in the results. You can download the videos, the photos, or everything in one go.
FastDL works entirely in your browser. There's nothing to install, no account to create, and no login required. Files go directly to your device - we don't store them on our servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I download Instagram videos in HD?
Yes, when the original post is available in HD. FastDL delivers whatever resolution Instagram provides for that video. If the creator uploaded in high resolution, you'll get that quality. If only a lower resolution is available on Instagram's servers, that's what will appear in the results.
Does the downloaded video have a watermark?
No. FastDL downloads the original video file from Instagram without adding any watermark, logo or branding. The file you save is the unmodified content from Instagram's servers.
Why does my Instagram video link not work?
The post is likely from a private account, or the link is incorrect. Copy the link directly by tapping the three-dot icon on the post and choosing Copy Link. Also check that the post is still up and the account hasn't been deactivated.
Can I download videos from private Instagram accounts?
Not with this tool. FastDL can only access content from public accounts. For private account content you have access to, try our Private Instagram Downloader.
How do I download a video from an Instagram carousel post or multiple videos?
Paste the link to the carousel post - FastDL will fetch all items in the carousel, and each video and photo appears separately. If you want to download multiple separate Instagram videos at once, try our Instagram Bulk Downloader.
What resolution will the downloaded video be?
It depends on the original upload. Instagram typically provides one resolution per post - the one the creator uploaded or Instagram processed. FastDL doesn't have a way to upscale video or retrieve versions that Instagram doesn't provide.
Where does the video save on my iPhone?
In Safari on iPhone, tap the download button. If the video opens in the browser instead of downloading, tap and hold the download button and select Download Linked File. The file then appears in Files app → Downloads. To put it in your Camera Roll, open it in Files and tap the share icon → Save Video.
Where does the video save on Android?
The video downloads to your Downloads folder. It should also appear in your Gallery or Photos app automatically. If it doesn't, open your file manager, navigate to Downloads, and move or copy it to your preferred location.
Is FastDL free to use?
Yes. FastDL is completely free, requires no registration, and has no daily download limits.
Do I need to create an account on FastDL?
No. FastDL requires no registration or account. Paste the link, download the file - that's it.
