❓ Instagram Download FAQ
Yes! Vidmate fully supports Instagram Reels downloads. Simply copy the Reel link from Instagram (tap the share arrow and select “Copy Link”), paste it in Vidmate, and choose your preferred quality. Reels are downloaded in their original vertical format (9:16 aspect ratio) and maintain their HD quality.
Instagram Stories are only available for 24 hours, so timing is crucial. Use Vidmate’s built-in Instagram browser to view stories, then use the download feature to save them. You can also use the story viewer feature in Vidmate to batch download multiple stories from different users quickly.
No, you cannot download content from private Instagram accounts unless you have permission to view them (i.e., you follow the account and they’ve accepted your follow request). Vidmate respects Instagram’s privacy settings and can only download publicly accessible content or content you have legitimate access to view.
The maximum quality depends on the original video uploaded to Instagram. Most Instagram videos can be downloaded in HD quality (up to 1080p). IGTV content often offers higher quality options. Vidmate will show you all available quality options for each video, allowing you to choose the best one for your needs.
Downloading Instagram videos for personal use is generally acceptable, but you should always respect copyright laws and the content creator’s rights. Only download content you have permission to use, avoid redistributing without consent, and always follow Instagram’s terms of service. When in doubt, contact the content creator for permission.
Some Instagram videos may not show download options due to: 1) Privacy settings (private accounts), 2) Content restrictions set by the creator, 3) Geographic limitations, 4) Technical issues with the video format. Try refreshing the page, checking your internet connection, or updating Vidmate to the latest version. Visit our troubleshooting guide for more help.
