Instagram links supported by ReelDown
The Instagram form needs a link to one specific public post. The formats below are accepted inputs; successful retrieval still depends on source availability. Example IDs are placeholders, not downloadable posts.
| Content | Example format | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Reel | https://www.instagram.com/reel/POST_ID/ | Reels |
| Video or photo post | https://www.instagram.com/p/POST_ID/ | Video / Photo |
| Carousel album | https://www.instagram.com/p/POST_ID/ | Carousel |
| Individual Story | https://www.instagram.com/stories/USERNAME/123456789/ | Story |
| Legacy IGTV video | https://www.instagram.com/tv/POST_ID/ | Legacy IGTV |
Links that do not select a supported item
Profile URLs, usernames, Highlights collections, audio pages and search pages are not supported by the Instagram form. For a profile picture or DP, the current backend has no dedicated lookup. Open a particular post and copy its direct link instead.
Tracking parameters and the address-bar shortcut
A copied post link may include sharing parameters after a question mark. The Instagram form normalizes supported links before retrieval. You can also put a supported Instagram URL after reeldown.app/ to open the downloader with that link.
Facebook and Pinterest
Use the separate Facebook downloader and Pinterest downloader for those platforms. Their link formats and source availability differ from Instagram.
