Troubleshooting
If your download is not working, check these common issues:
- Private Account — The account may be private. Only public content can be downloaded.
- Invalid Link — Make sure you copied the complete Instagram link correctly.
- Deleted Content — The post may have been deleted or removed by the owner.
- Temporary Issue — Try refreshing the page or waiting a few moments.
- Browser Cache — Try clearing your browser cache or using incognito/private mode.
Downloaded files are saved to your device's default download location:
- Windows — Usually in the "Downloads" folder
- Mac — Usually in the "Downloads" folder
- iPhone/iPad — In the Files app or Photos (depending on content type)
- Android — In the "Downloads" folder or your browser's download location
If your downloaded video has no sound, it is likely because the original Instagram post was uploaded without audio, or the audio was removed due to copyright. InstaVido downloads content exactly as it exists on Instagram — we do not modify or remove audio.
