Formats accepted by SSGram
The extractor accepts direct MP4 and WebM video files when Instagram provides them. SSGram keeps the returned file format; it does not convert or re-encode the video.

FILES FROM THE SOURCE
Video formats and available quality
Resolution depends on the post
Results show dimensions when the source supplies them. SSGram does not guarantee 1080p or HD, upscale a smaller file, or create a resolution that is not available.
03
PHONE OR COMPUTER
Use the video downloader on your device
iPhone and iPad
Open SSGram in Safari or another modern browser, submit the video post link, then use the result’s download action. iOS manages where the file is saved.
Android
Use a mobile browser to submit the direct post link. When a file is ready, download it from the result page and check your browser’s download location.
Windows and Mac
Paste the same public Instagram video URL in a desktop browser. Choose an available file from the result; your browser handles the download.

WHEN A LINK DOES NOT WORK
Instagram video download troubleshooting
- Invalid URL
- Use a full HTTPS link from instagram.com. Remove surrounding text or punctuation and submit the direct post URL.
- Unavailable post
- The post may be private, removed, require sign-in or no longer be served. SSGram cannot bypass those restrictions.
- Unsupported URL
- This page is for regular post-video links. Profile URLs are unsupported; use the Reels page for a Reel link.
- Media unavailable
- A valid post can still return no downloadable file if the source or extractor cannot access its media at that time. Try another accessible public link later.

Questions, answered · Video
Can I download an Instagram video without installing an app?+
Yes. This is a browser-based Instagram video downloader, so you can paste a public video link on your phone or computer without installing a separate application.
Does the Instagram video downloader work on iPhone and Android?+
The downloader works through a modern mobile browser on iPhone and Android. After the result is ready, use your device browser download or save option to keep the file.
Which video formats can I download from Instagram?+
The backend accepts video files returned by the extractor, including MP4 and WebM. It keeps the format supplied by the source instead of converting every video into another file type.
What video quality is available?+
The result reports the dimensions and formats that Instagram makes available for that public post. The downloader does not upscale a low-resolution upload or invent a higher-quality version.
Will an Instagram video keep its sound?+
If the public source provides a video stream with sound, the downloader passes that media through without re-encoding it. Audio availability depends on the file returned by the source.
Why can an Instagram video URL fail?+
The URL must be an HTTPS Instagram post, video or TV link that the parser supports. A malformed link, private or login-required post, expired media, protected content, or a temporarily unavailable extractor can make an extraction fail.
Can I use this as an IG video downloader for private accounts?+
No. The backend only works with media that Instagram exposes through an accessible public link and never bypasses login or privacy restrictions.
Privacy & permissions
