01How it works
How to download Instagram videos and photos
Copy the public Instagram link
Open the post or Reel and copy its link from the share menu. In a browser, you can also copy the complete page address.
Paste and preview
Paste the link above and choose Download. Complete the Navos sign-in prompt on your first visit, then check the photo or video in the results.
Preview and download
Check the photo or video, then select its download button. For a carousel, save only the items you need.
Made for your next download
No app installation
Use your phone, tablet or computer browser—no app or extension to install.
Best available quality
Download a watermark-free version when the source provides one. Save the best available quality; captions, logos and marks embedded in the source remain.
No download count limit
Navos does not set a daily download count for this tool. Save another post whenever you need it. Temporary service limits or unavailable source content can still interrupt a request.
02All
Download Instagram media for offline viewing
An Instagram bookmark helps you find a post again. A download saves an available photo or video to your device. Navos resolves the public link you submit and shows each available media item, so you can decide what to keep.
Start with All if you are unsure of the media type. For a saved Story collection, open the Highlights downloader and choose a collection first. Availability always depends on the source content and the media service.
Recognize your link
instagram.com/p/POST_CODE/instagram.com/reel/REEL_CODE/These are URL patterns, not test links. Paste the public link you want to save.
Available filesMP4 · JPG / available image formats
Preview before saving
Check the image or play the video before downloading. A cover helps identify the content but is not the video itself.
Choose individual files
A single public post can contain photos and videos. Each available item has its own download button.
Best available source
Download the best available source file, including a watermark-free version when available. The file keeps its available resolution.
03Formats & links

04Save to your device
Downloaded it. Where did it go?
Saving an Instagram post in the app is different from downloading a file. Your browser saves the media to your device; it may not appear in your photo library automatically.
iPhone / iPad
- 1.
Open the downloader in Safari, paste your link and sign in to Navos.
- 2.
Choose a file from the results. Look in Safari’s download list or the Files app.
- 3.
To add it to your photo library, open the downloaded file and use the save option available in the system share menu.
Android
- 1.
Open the downloader in Chrome or another browser and submit the public link.
- 2.
Choose the photo or video you want and follow the browser’s download prompt.
- 3.
Find the file in Downloads or your file manager. Whether it appears in your gallery depends on your device and save location.
Windows / Mac
- 1.
Paste the complete link into a desktop browser and sign in to see the results.
- 2.
Save a single video, or download the carousel and Highlight items you want individually.
- 3.
Open your browser’s download list or Downloads folder. The destination follows your browser settings.
05Questions, answered
A download not working? Start here.
A failed download is not always a bad URL. The original post, the media service and your browser can each affect the result.
The content is unavailable
Open the original Instagram link first. Check that the post still exists and is public. The downloader cannot recover deleted content or bypass a private account.
Stories show a service error
The service’s Instagram session may need renewal. Signing in to Google again or trying another username will not fix a service-side session. Try later or use another media type.
The preview loads, but the download fails
Media URLs can expire. Parse the original Instagram link again, then download the fresh result. Also check browser download prompts, your connection and available device storage.
Only part of a carousel or collection is visible
Use Show more files to view the remaining items, then download the ones you need. Saving the first preview does not save the whole collection.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about free downloads, file quality and saving on a phone or computer, answered.
Is the Instagram downloader free?
Yes. Navos lets you preview and download Instagram media for free. There is no charge per file and no credit card is needed.
How many Instagram downloads can I make?
Navos does not set a daily download count for this tool. Save another post whenever you need it. Temporary service limits or unavailable source content can still interrupt a request.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Use the downloader in your phone or computer browser. Preview a result and save the file directly; no browser extension or downloader app is required.
Is an Instagram download the same as saving a post?
No. Saving a post in Instagram bookmarks it inside the app. Downloading saves an available media file to your device, but does not change the creator’s rights or grant reuse permission.
Can a profile URL download all of an account’s posts?
No. Profile URLs and @usernames are used on the Highlights page to find public collections. For feed photos and videos, paste the link to the individual post.
Do I need to sign in to use the Instagram downloader?
Yes. Sign in to Navos with Google before media parsing starts. You do not need to give the downloader your Instagram password or session cookie, and no credit card is required.
Can I download Instagram videos in HD or 4K?
The downloader uses the best available file returned for the public content. Resolution depends on that source: not every post has a 1080p or 4K version. It does not upscale media or guarantee the creator’s pre-upload original. Smaller preview images help the page load faster without replacing the download file.
Does downloading add a watermark?
You can download the watermark-free version when the source provides one. Captions, stickers, logos and marks embedded in the source remain; this is a media downloader, not an image-editing tool.
Why does an Instagram link fail to parse?
Check that you copied a complete post, Reel or other supported media link, not a search page. Deleted posts, private accounts, access restrictions and temporary service failures can prevent parsing. Stories also depend on content availability and the service’s Instagram session.
Does one download button save an entire album?
Each button saves one media file. Preview a carousel or Highlight collection, then download the items you need individually. The current tool does not offer a one-click ZIP export or a full-account backup.
Can I download private or deleted Instagram content?
No. The tool handles currently accessible public media. It cannot bypass private-account permissions, recover deleted posts or restore Stories that are no longer available.
Can I repost or use a downloaded file commercially?
Downloading a file does not grant permission to republish or use it commercially. Save content you own or have permission to use, and keep any required creator credits and permission records. Navos is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.
Where can I find my downloaded files?
iPhone / iPad: To add it to your photo library, open the downloaded file and use the save option available in the system share menu. Android: Find the file in Downloads or your file manager. Whether it appears in your gallery depends on your device and save location. Windows / Mac: Open your browser’s download list or Downloads folder. The destination follows your browser settings.
What media can I save with this downloader?
Download Instagram videos, Reels, photos and carousel files for free. Preview before saving, with no daily download count limit and no app to install.
