Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about downloading Instagram Reels, Stories, Videos, Photos, Audio, and Profile Pictures.
What is InstaLoadr?
InstaLoadr is a free tool for saving public Instagram content — photos, videos, Reels, Stories, and IGTV — straight to your device. Paste a link, get the file. Read more on the About page.
Is InstaLoadr free to use?
Yes. InstaLoadr is free, with no feature limits or download caps on public content, and no account required.
Does this work on private accounts?
No. InstaLoadr only reads publicly viewable posts, the same way any visitor to the profile would see them.
Is there a watermark on downloaded files?
No. Files are saved as the original upload, unmodified, at the same quality Instagram hosts them in.
Which Instagram content can I download?
InstaLoadr has a dedicated tool for each format: the Reels Downloader, Story Downloader, Video Downloader, Photo Downloader, Audio Downloader, and Profile Picture Downloader — plus support for full carousel posts saved as a single .zip.
Does downloading notify the original poster?
No. Instagram doesn't send a notification when someone views or downloads a public post, and InstaLoadr doesn't interact with the post in a way that would trigger one.
Is InstaLoadr safe to use?
Yes. It doesn't ask for your Instagram login, doesn't install anything on your device, and only ever reads content that's already publicly visible. See the Privacy Policy for details.
What if I have a copyright concern?
Rights holders can report a concern through our DMCA & Copyright Disclaimer page, or by contacting us directly.
