Instagram downloader: Paste an Instagram link to download Reels as HD MP4, save Stories before they disappear, pull each photo out of a multi-image carousel, or strip a Reel down to MP3. MediaGrabber supports public posts directly; private or close-friends Stories may need a signed-in browser tab. Nothing is stored on our servers — your links and downloads stay between your browser and Instagram.
Quick answers
Open the Reel in Instagram, tap the three-dot menu and choose Copy Link. Paste the URL into MediaGrabber and select Reel → MP4. The clip saves to your device in its original vertical resolution with audio intact. The Instagram username overlay isn't removed — that's part of the rendered video on Instagram's side.
Yes, while the Story is still live. Paste the Story URL or the profile URL into MediaGrabber within the 24-hour window. You'll get every public Story currently on the account as separate MP4 or JPEG files. Once a Story has expired on Instagram, it's gone from public access and we can't fetch it either.
Yes. Paste a multi-image carousel post URL and MediaGrabber returns every slide — images as full-resolution JPEGs and embedded videos as MP4s — as separate files. There's no manual swiping to grab each one. Works for both public posts and carousels on accounts you follow when signed in.
