What is a Instagram downloader?

Instagram downloader
An Instagram downloader is a tool that saves Instagram Reels, Stories, IGTV videos, and carousel posts as local files. MediaGrabber's Instagram downloader exports Reels as HD MP4, full-resolution photo carousels as JPEGs, and lets you save Stories before their 24-hour expiry — directly in your browser.

Quick answers

How do I save an Instagram Reel?

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.

Can I download Instagram Stories before they expire?

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.

Does MediaGrabber work for Instagram carousel posts?

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.
