Getting started
Is SaveJet free to use?
Yes. SaveJet is completely free, with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or download limits. You can save as many public Instagram videos, photos, reels, and stories as you like without paying anything.
Do I need an account or login?
No. SaveJet never asks for your Instagram username, password, or any account connection. Just paste a public link or @username and download — there is nothing to sign up for.
Is it legal and safe to use SaveJet?
SaveJet is safe to use: it only accesses public Instagram content and never asks for your password, login, or any app install, so there is nothing on your account to compromise. You are responsible for how you use what you download — only save content you have the right to use, and respect the creator's copyright.
Are there any daily download limits?
No. SaveJet is free and unlimited — there is no cap on how many links you can download per day.
What types of Instagram links does SaveJet accept?
SaveJet accepts post URLs, reel and IGTV links, story links, highlight links, and plain @usernames. You can paste a full https:// link from any device or just type the username.
Does SaveJet work without the Instagram app?
Yes. SaveJet runs entirely in your web browser on any device — iPhone, Android, tablet, PC, or Mac. You do not need the Instagram app or any browser extension installed.
Downloading & formats
What quality and formats can I download?
SaveJet saves media in the highest quality the public Instagram source provides — videos as MP4 and photos as JPG, in their original resolution. Reels and videos keep their audio, and a reel's soundtrack can be exported as MP3.
Are there any watermarks on downloads?
No. Files are saved exactly as they were uploaded, with no SaveJet watermark, logo, or branding added.
Where are my downloaded files saved?
Downloads go to your device's default location. On iPhone they appear in the Files app (or Photos when saved there), on Android in Downloads or your Gallery, and on PC or Mac in your browser's Downloads folder.
Can I download reels with audio or extract the MP3?
Yes. Reels and videos download with their original audio intact. You can also extract just the soundtrack and save it as an MP3 file.
How do I download a whole carousel as a ZIP?
Paste the carousel post link into SaveJet. It detects every slide in the post and lets you download all the photos and videos together as a single ZIP file.
Can I download several posts at once?
Yes. Carousels download as a single ZIP of every slide, and the profile viewer lets you save multiple posts, reels, and stories from a public account one after another without re-pasting links.
Profiles & profile photos
Can I view and download a full profile?
Yes. Enter a public @username to open the profile viewer, where you can browse and download that account's posts, reels, stories, and highlights.
Can I view and download someone's profile picture (DP) in full size?
Yes. SaveJet includes an Instagram DP viewer: enter a public @username and you can see the full-size profile photo and download it in the highest quality available. Instagram normally shows the profile picture as a small thumbnail, so this lets you view and save it at its original resolution.
How do I download an Instagram profile picture in HD?
Open the SaveJet profile viewer, type the public @username, and the full-resolution profile photo loads instantly. Click Download to save it as a high-quality JPG — no need to follow the account or take a screenshot.
Devices
How do I download Instagram videos on iPhone?
Open the post in Instagram, tap the ⋯ menu and choose Copy link, then paste it into SaveJet and tap Download. Safari or Chrome saves the file to your Files app — no app install required.
How do I download on Android?
Tap the ⋯ menu on the Instagram post, choose Copy link, paste it into SaveJet, and tap Download. The file saves to your Downloads folder or Gallery automatically.
How do I download on PC or Mac?
Copy the post URL from your browser's address bar, paste it into SaveJet, and click Download. The file saves to your computer's Downloads folder.
Troubleshooting
Why isn't my Instagram link working?
A few things can cause it: the account is private, the story has expired, the post was deleted, or the copied link is incomplete. SaveJet only works with public Instagram content — make sure the link opens for anyone in a logged-out browser, then paste the full https:// URL again.
The video opens in a new tab instead of downloading — what do I do?
Some mobile browsers preview the file first. On iPhone, tap the share icon and choose Save to Files (or Save Video); on Android, long-press the video and choose Download. On a computer, right-click and choose "Save video as".
SaveJet can't fetch the post — what should I check?
Confirm it's a public post (private accounts, deleted media and expired stories can't be downloaded), and that you pasted the link to a single post, reel or profile. If Instagram is briefly busy, wait a few seconds and try again — no app or login is ever required.
Privacy, safety & legal
Can I download Instagram stories anonymously?
Yes. Because SaveJet does not log in to Instagram, you can download public stories without the account owner knowing you viewed or saved them.
Can I download from private accounts?
No. SaveJet only works with public Instagram content. Private posts, private accounts, deleted media, and expired stories cannot be downloaded.
Does downloading notify the Instagram user?
No. Instagram does not notify users when their public photos, videos, reels, stories, or profile pictures are downloaded. SaveJet never logs in to Instagram, so nothing is tied to your identity.
Does SaveJet cost the creator anything?
No. Downloading public content does not cost the original creator anything and does not affect their account, views, or follower count in any way.
Is SaveJet safe to use, or does it contain malware?
Yes, SaveJet is safe. It runs entirely in your browser, installs nothing on your device, and adds no software, extensions, or malware. Your downloads are the original Instagram files, untouched — and no app or extension is ever required.
Does SaveJet store my files or personal data?
No. SaveJet processes every request in real time and does not store the links you paste, the media you download, or any personal data. Because SaveJet never logs in to Instagram, nothing is tied to your identity.
