How can I download or save instagram to mp4 without watermark?
- Jul 15, 2026
My favorite way for saving instagram reels as mp4. Copy the link, analyze the video and it will give you the download options.

P.S. I have been using it for two years and the app gets update frequently.
If you have an iPhone, this can be solved quickly because you can use QuickSave—an iOS Shortcut designed for the iPhone. However, it can only ig to mp4 format on Apple mobile devices, as it runs exclusively within the built-in Shortcuts app on iPhones and iPads.
It allows you to save native Instagram videos without watermarks with a single tap, but using this tool requires granting full access to your Photos and the Internet.
First, open the Safari browser on your iPhone and search for the source link to the QuickSave shortcut. Open the link and tap “Add Shortcut” to import it to your device. Then, go to Settings → Shortcuts → enable “Allow Untrusted Shortcuts,” and grant access to your Photos library.
Open the app and navigate to the target video post. Tap the share icon at the bottom to bring up the iOS share sheet. Find and tap “QuickSave” in the list, then wait for the shortcut to automatically parse the video source. Once processing is complete, the MP4 file will be saved to your Camera Roll.
Once the download is complete, you can view, edit, or share the saved video locally.
This method does not support cross-platform ig to mp4 on Android phones, Windows computers, or Mac computers; therefore, it is only available to users with iOS devices.
If you only use an iPhone and do not want to install a third-party download app, you can try this method. Since this method relies on Instagram’s interface structure, it is recommended that you check for updates to the Shortcuts app regularly.
Drawbacks
- Compatible only with iPhones and iPads running iOS; does not support Android, Windows, or Mac
- Cannot download encrypted stories or certain restricted Reels content
- Incomplete permission settings will directly result in download failures and missing saved videos
