Download Instagram videos without sketchy sites

Online Instagram downloaders change addresses every week and bury you in ads. With Linkvido you paste the link into your dashboard and an app on your computer does the download, with no redirects and no sign-ups on unknown sites.

It's handy for creators keeping a copy of their own videos, for editors and for saving tutorials and recipes before they disappear.

Where your Instagram video ends up

The file is saved as MP4 in the folder you pick in the app (your downloads folder by default), named after the post. From there you can edit it, share it or keep it on an external drive.

What Linkvido can't download from Instagram

Stories, Highlights and content from private profiles require an Instagram login and may not work. Photos are left out too: Linkvido is built for video and audio.

How to download Instagram videos on PC, Mac and from your phone

Linkvido runs on Windows 10 and 11, macOS 12 or newer and Linux. You install a lightweight app once, and it downloads from Instagram straight to the folder you choose, at the full speed of your connection.

From your phone, Android or iPhone, open the Linkvido dashboard in your browser and paste the link. Your computer at home downloads and keeps the file, even when you're away.
