Public Reel pages
A direct Reel URL can be analyzed when it is publicly accessible and the user has the right to keep it. Available media still depends on the current platform response.
Instagram video guide
Analyze permitted public Instagram Posts and Reels on your PC.
Use a direct public Post or Reel URL and review the item DownloaderAI Desktop can currently identify. A public-looking link is not a promise that every image, carousel item, Story, or account surface can be saved.
Complete real-person Instagram download coverage was not revalidated for this UI release; short-lived URLs and metadata can change. This web page only checks URL format and does not process or download videos.
Public video Posts
A Post can contain one video or a mixed set of items. DownloaderAI does not guarantee that every carousel entry, image, or combination will be identified.
Creator-authorized backups
Queue and Library are useful for individual Posts or Reels you created, manage, or have explicit permission to archive locally.
Platform notes
Instagram context can expire or require account access.
Carousels require item-level review
Multi-item Posts can mix photos and videos. Review what Analyze actually returns instead of assuming the entire carousel is compatible.
Stories and private surfaces are outside the promise
Stories, Highlights, private accounts, login-only content, account pages, and every Instagram content type are not claimed as supported workflows.
No password or Cookie import
DownloaderAI does not ask for an Instagram password and does not import Cookies or tokens to bypass login, private access, CAPTCHA, or regional controls.
Before using the desktop app
Review eligibility, access, and current beta compatibility.
Use the direct public URL
Paste a Post or Reel URL, not a profile-wide request. Confirm that the content is yours, authorized, or otherwise lawful to save.
Check the identified media
Review the media item and available formats. If a temporary address or metadata has expired, run Analyze again without assuming it will succeed.
File reviewed results locally
Use Queue for individually confirmed links and Library to inspect completed local artifacts; neither feature expands access rights.
