How to download an IGTV video
- Copy the IGTV link. Open the long-form video, tap “⋯” and choose Copy link (the URL usually contains /tv/ or /reel/).
- Paste it above. Tap Download IGTV and ReelSaver fetches the original file.
- Save the MP4. Preview the full video, then download it in HD with audio.
Built for long videos
- Any length. Long IGTV episodes download just like short clips.
- HD with audio. Original resolution and sound, no re-compression.
- MP4 output. Universally playable on phones and computers.
- No app, no login. Everything runs in your browser.
What happened to IGTV?
Instagram retired the separate IGTV app and brand in 2022 and merged long videos into the main feed as regular video posts and reels. Old IGTV links (with /tv/ in the address) still open, and newer long videos use /p/ or /reel/ links. ReelSaver handles all three, so you can paste whichever link you have.
Long videos are larger files — a 10-minute video can be 100 MB or more — so a stable connection helps. If a download stops partway, refreshing and trying again on Wi-Fi usually fixes it.
Good uses for long-video downloads
- Tutorials and lessons you want to follow offline, step by step.
- Your own long-form content — back it up or repurpose it for YouTube.
- Interviews and talks to rewatch without buffering.
- Client deliverables you need to archive after publishing.
As with any video, re-uploading someone else’s work needs their permission — see is it legal to download Instagram videos?
IGTV FAQ
Are long IGTV videos supported?
Yes — there’s no length limit; the full video downloads in HD.
Does it keep the sound?
Yes, the original audio is included.
What if the link says /reel/ instead of /tv/?
That’s fine — Instagram merged much of IGTV into video reels. Paste any video link and it works.
Is IGTV still on Instagram?
Not as a separate feature. Since 2022 long videos are regular Instagram videos, but old /tv/ links still work and ReelSaver downloads them.
How long can the video be?
There is no length limit on our side; very long videos simply take longer to download.
