Instagram link formats, explained

Reels, posts, videos, and IGTV

Instagram uses a different URL path for each kind of post. If you are not sure what you copied, match the link to the table below — Instarin accepts all four formats.

Instagram URL formats and the media they contain
Link containsPost typeWhat you can save
/reel/ or /reels/ReelOne short vertical video, sometimes with audio from the original creator.
/p/Feed postA single photo, a single video, or a carousel with several images and videos.
/tv/IGTV videoOne longer-form video, usually horizontal or vertical.

What “public” means

A public post is visible to anyone, including people who are not signed in. If a profile is private, or a post is limited to close friends, the link will not work here. Instarin does not sign in on your behalf, does not use your Instagram account, and does not bypass privacy settings.

Why a link sometimes stops working

Creators can delete a post, change an account to private, or restrict who can view their content. When that happens, the original media is no longer available and no downloader can retrieve it. Expired or shortened links can fail for the same reason.

Downloading on iPhone, Android, and desktop

Where your files end up

iPhone and iPad

Open Instarin in Safari or Chrome, paste the link, and start the download. iOS saves the file through the share sheet or to Files → Downloads, depending on your browser. Videos land in Photos only if you choose Save Video from the share sheet.

Android

Chrome and Firefox save files to the Downloads folder and show a notification when the file is ready. Photos usually appear in your gallery after the next media scan; videos open in your default player.

Mac and Windows

On desktop, the browser saves to its default download location — Downloads in most cases. Use Save link as… if you want to choose a folder, and check the file extension before opening it.

About privacy

Public content only

This tool works with public Instagram links. It doesn’t unlock private accounts or bypass a creator’s privacy settings. Only download content you own or have permission to save, and credit the creator when sharing.
