FAQ
Good to know before you download.
The fine print, in normal language.
Do normal Instagram posts work?
Yes, when a public instagram.com/p post contains a video. Use the main Instagram downloader too.
Can you download private Reels?
No. Simple Video Downloader only opens public Reels and never signs into an account.
Why did my Reel fail?
The Reel may be private, removed or temporarily unavailable.
Is Simple Video Downloader part of Instagram?
No. Simple Video Downloader is an independent tool and is not endorsed by Instagram.
