How to Copy an Instagram Video Link

An online Instagram video downloader needs the post URL to identify the public media request. Follow these steps to copy the correct link.

On a mobile device

Open the Instagram app and navigate to the public video or Reel. Tap the share icon, then choose Copy link if that option is available.

On a computer

Open the public Instagram post in your browser. Copy the page address from the browser address bar, making sure it begins with https://www.instagram.com/.

Check the link before submitting

Use the link to the post, Reel or video—not your account profile. Never paste your password, session cookie or other login credentials into a downloader.

Continue with InstaDown

Return to the homepage, paste the link and submit it. Only publicly accessible content supported by the connected provider can be processed.
