How to download Instagram videos on Android

Save Instagram videos to your Android Gallery with Chrome

Android is the easiest platform for saving Instagram videos, because downloads go straight to your phone's storage. You do not need a special app. Chrome and a web downloader are enough.

What You Need

  • An Android phone with the Instagram app.
  • Chrome (or any browser) and access to iGram.ink.
  • Enough free storage for the video.

How to Download Instagram Videos on Android — Step by Step

1

Copy the Video Link

Open Instagram and find the video. Tap the Share icon or the three dots, then tap "Copy Link". On a computer, copy the URL from the address bar.

2

Paste the Link into iGram.ink

Go to iGram.ink, paste the link into the input field, and tap "Download". The tool will fetch the available download options.

3

Save the File

Tap the download button next to the quality you want. Chrome saves the video and shows a notification when it finishes.

Where to Find the Video

Open your Gallery or Photos app and check your recent items. If it is not there, open the Files app and look in Downloads. You can move the video to Movies or DCIM so it appears in your Gallery.

Fixes for Common Android Problems

  • Download blocked: Allow downloads when Chrome asks, and check Settings if it was disabled.
  • Not enough storage: Free up space and try again.
  • Not in Gallery: Check Files > Downloads, then move the file.
  • Download stuck: Check your internet connection, then refresh and retry.
  • Opened in Instagram's browser: Copy the link and open Chrome yourself.
