If the download fails or the file is missing
No preview appeared
Check that the pasted address points to a specific public post rather than a profile. Open the original post to confirm it is still available. Deleted posts, expired Stories and private accounts may not be retrievable. If you see a temporary limit, wait before trying again.
The preview appeared, but the file did not save
Check the browser’s download list for a paused or failed transfer and confirm that the device has free storage. Retry the file download once after resolving a connection problem. Keep browser security protections enabled.
The file saved, but it is not in Photos or Gallery
Look in your browser’s Downloads list or the Files app first. A saved file does not always appear in a photo library automatically. Apple’s download-location guide and Chrome’s Android download guide explain where to look.
The video is silent or an album is incomplete
Use the Reel audio troubleshooting guide to separate playback issues from missing audio. For a multi-item post, use the carousel downloader and compare the returned items with the original album.
