Save IGTV Videos
Long-form Instagram videos deserve a spot on your device. Save IGTV content in full HD MP4.
IGTV was built for longer, more immersive video content on Instagram. Whether it's a tutorial, interview, or documentary-style piece, InstaFD lets you save these extended videos for offline viewing whenever you want.
How to Save IGTV Videos
Copy the IGTV Link
Open the IGTV video on Instagram and copy the link from the share menu or address bar.
Paste Into InstaFD
Drop the link into the input field here. We'll process the video and show your options.
Pick Quality & Save
Choose your preferred resolution and save the video. Larger files may take a moment longer.
Which IGTV Links Still Work
IGTV was retired, but the URLs it minted were never broken. Old links still resolve to the video.
| Link shape | What you get |
|---|---|
| instagram.com/tv/{id} | The original IGTV URL shape. Still resolves to the video it always pointed at. |
| igtv.com/{id} | The old short domain. If it still redirects for you, copy the Instagram address it lands on and use that. |
| instagram.com/reel/{id} | Where that content lives now. Long-form uploads made after the merge are Reels or Instagram Video, not IGTV. |
IGTV Saving Features
No Length Restrictions
From short clips to hour-long uploads, InstaFD handles IGTV videos of any duration without issues.
Best Available Quality
IGTV videos are saved at the highest resolution the uploader provided — typically up to 720p or 1080p.
What Happened to IGTV
A separate product
IGTV launched as Instagram's home for long-form vertical video, with its own standalone app and its own tab.
Folded in, 2022
Instagram retired the standalone app and merged long-form video into the main experience. The IGTV brand stopped being used.
Old links kept working
Every /tv/ URL ever created still resolves. That is why this page exists — the content did not go anywhere, only the name did.
What You Actually Get
| Detail | Result |
|---|---|
| Format | MP4 with audio, same as any other Instagram video. |
| Length | No cap on our side. IGTV was where the long uploads went, so these files are often the largest on the site — allow more time. |
| Orientation | Whatever was uploaded. IGTV pushed vertical, but plenty of horizontal uploads exist and are returned unmodified. |
| Quality options | All renditions Instagram holds are listed with file sizes. On long videos the gap between the smallest and largest is substantial — worth a look before starting. |
| Series and playlists | Not returned as a group. IGTV series were a listing feature, not a container; save the videos individually. |
