Step 1 of 4: How to download Instagram videos

If you've found a video on Instagram that you love so much that you want to keep it, you'll discover that downloading or saving it is not as easy as you might think. It's possible, though, so here we show you how to download Instagram videos, whether you want to save them on your computer, iPhone or Android.

How to download Instagram videos on your computer

One of the easiest ways to download videos from Instagram is to use Savedeo, an online tool that lets you paste in a URL from many different sources to download.

To get the URL of the Instagram video you want to download, you'll need to go to Instagram.com and log in, and then search for the video you're looking for.

Once you've found it, click the video and it should open in a sort of pop-up within the browser. The URL in your browser's URL bar now is the one you're looking for.

Copy the URL and then go to SaveDeo.com. BE WARNED though, there can be some not safe for work content on SaveDeo.com as well as other sites that offer to help you download videos. While downloading Instagram videos is not strictly illegal as long as you're not sharing them again as your own, sites that allow you to download Instagram videos are not endorsed by Instagram and are therefore often plagued by videos that are not always appropriate if you're in the company of others.

If you're happy to continue using SaveDeo, or if you're looking for how to download to your iPhone or Android, read on.
