Whenever a platform denies a specific action or process, users automatically look for alternatives to fill the gap. In this case, we're talking about downloading Instagram videos. The social network barely allows exploring its content without an account, but with the help of two popular websites, downloading short videos is straightforward and without obstacles.
Why download Instagram videos?
For the same reason some users want to download music from YouTube: internet connections aren't always stable, data plans are expensive, and the idea is to make the most of every available WiFi moment. Another issue is that Instagram is leaving its previous flexibility behind and limits exploration for users without accounts. Why create an entire profile when all we want is a single video? This article will help you avoid that and download Instagram videos without trouble. The key is to use the right site, and today we offer two.
How to download Instagram videos
DownloadGram
A personal favorite, which I've previously recommended for downloading Instagram images. You don't need to do anything special beyond pasting the link to the video post and pressing the Download button. When the download is ready, a Download Video button will appear, and the file will be saved locally in MP4 format.
Ingramer
Downloading Instagram videos is just one of five functions available on Ingramer. Click the Download Video tab, enter the link, press Search, and you'll see a thumbnail of the video below, with a Download button at the bottom. As with DownloadGram, the video is saved in MP4 format without recompression.
It's hard to imagine that Facebook would enable an official feature to download Instagram videos online as the public expects. To be honest, it's more likely that Instagram will stop being part of Facebook in the future. But if a viable alternative exists, the end user won't have trouble adopting it.
