About the Instagram Bulk Downloader
Saving reels one at a time is fine until you're saving forty. Anyone building a reference folder — a moodboard, a competitor sweep, a month of your own posts before you archive the account — ends up with a notes app full of Instagram links and no way to spend them except one tab at a time. Paste that whole column here instead. The batch runs in order, each row reports its own result, and you save the finished files as they land. Public reels and posts only, no watermark, and a link that fails doesn't cost you a credit.
How to use it
- 1On each reel or post, tap the paper-plane icon and choose Copy link. Stack them one per line in a notes app.
- 2Paste the whole column into the box above — the counter shows how many links it found before anything runs.
- 3Hit Download and save each row as it finishes, or use Save all once the batch is done.
Why use it
FAQ
Does this work with reels, or only regular posts?
Both. Reel links, /p/ post links and IGTV links all run through the same batch. If a link points at a video you get the video; if it points at a photo post you get the photo.
What happens to a carousel in a bulk run?
A batch is built around one file per link, so a carousel comes back as its first image. If you want every slide out of a multi-photo post, run that link through the Instagram Slideshow Downloader instead — it lays out all of them as a grid.
Do the links have to be one per line?
One per line is what we recommend, because that's how they land when you paste from notes. Commas and spaces work too, and duplicates are dropped — the same reel pasted twice only runs once.
Will it work on private accounts?
No. Only public reels and posts can be pulled. A private one fails as its own row with a clear reason and costs you nothing, but there's no setting that makes it work.
How many links can I run at once?
Three per batch without an account, matching the three free downloads the rest of the site gives you. Signed in, the cap is twenty per batch. Paste more and the extras simply aren't run — the counter says how many were left out rather than dropping them quietly.
Does a batch of eight count as one download or eight?
Eight. Each link is a separate fetch from Instagram, so it costs what it costs. Counting a twenty-link batch as one would mean nobody could use the tool for free at all.
Why one at a time instead of all at once?
Firing twenty requests together trips our own rate limit, and you'd get a screen of 'slow down' errors that look exactly like broken links. Going in order also means the progress count is telling you something real.
