Although the process is not that simple, it is possible to download videos from Instagram with some tips and tricks. In this guide, I will explain how to download Instagram videos both on your PC and on your iPhone running on the iOS operating system or Android device in detail below.
How to Download Videos from Instagram on PC
One of the easiest ways to download videos from Instagram is to use Savedeo, an online tool that allows the user to paste a URL from many different sources to download. Follow the steps below on how to do that:
- To get the URL of the Instagram video you want to download, you will need to go to Instagram.com and log in, then search for the video you are looking for.
- Once you find the video on the site, click on the video, doing so should open it in some sort of pop-up within your browser.
- Now the URL in your browser address bar is the one you need to save.
- Just copy the URL and then go to SaveDeo website.
- Paste the video URL in the box that appears on the homepage of the website and click on the Download button.
- After a couple of seconds, your video will be ready and it can be downloaded on your PC.
While downloading videos from Instagram isn’t strictly illegal until you decide to re-share them as your own, sites that allow you to download videos from Instagram are not approved by Instagram and are therefore often plagued with videos that aren’t always appropriate. If you are still convinced that you want to continue using SaveDeo, or if you are looking for how to download videos to your iPhone or Android, read on.
