How to Download Videos from Instagram

Unlike Facebook and Twitter, Instagram is social network that works only with pictures and videos. All we need is to sign up and upload photos or videos through the app or the website. Even filters can be applied to uploaded pictures and they can be shared to other social networks.

How to Download Videos from Instagram

Downloading videos from Instagram is now easy. Follow any one of the sites to download the videos from Instagram.

Instadown

As on many web sites that allow you to download videos from YouTube, InstaDown also needs a URL. To get the URL of the video, open an Instagram profile, click on the video that you want to download and copy the URL from the address bar.

Paste this URL into InstaDown and click on the yellow button "Instadown". In a matter of seconds, your browser will start to download the MP4 file. That's it and its really simple.

You can also click the blue button "Get BB Link" to get a direct link to your video to share out Instagram. Pretty handy for the friends and families who don't use Instagram, and deserve to enjoy your videos.

SaveDeo

If for any reason you are not satisfied with InstaDown, SaveDeo is another alternative to download videos from Instagram , and also it works with YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe, and many other sites. Again, all you have to do is paste the URL of the video in the box and click "download". And you will be redirected to a new page with a preview image and download link.

Clicking on the link allows you to view the video in the browser outside of Instagram, and right-clicking and selecting "Save Link As ..." file is downloaded to your computer.

Note that SaveDeo will display the video on your recent list of downloads. Beware of it, if this is a private issue.

IFTTT

Want to download all the videos from Instagram? Or maybe each Instagram video you want? You don't have to go as in InstaDown with each URL, you only need to configure a recipe in IFTTT.

IFTTT ("If This Then That") is a service of automation that allows you to automate almost anything in your life online. From your iPhone to your reading of e-books, the options are almost endless. And Yes, the power of IFTTT can also be used to download videos from Instagram.

In order to get this job, you'll need a IFTTT account, an account of Instagram and a Dropbox account. Then you have to choose: "Do you want to download all the videos you upload" or "each video that you like"? Choose a recipe accordingly, and IFTTT will take you through the process of enabling it.

The end result would be an automatic process in which any video you like to add is automatically downloaded and added to the Dropbox folder chosen.

Note: Do not forget that you have no rights to the videos that you have not created. Do not upload them as your own, or distribute in any way, especially without due credit.
