Question 1

How do I download an Instagram Reel?

Accepted Answer

Open the Reel in the Instagram app, tap the three dots or the Share button, and select Copy Link. Then paste that link into ClipRip and download. On desktop, you can copy the URL directly from your browser.

Question 2

Can I download Instagram Stories?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only from public accounts. Copy the link to the Story (you can get this from the three dots menu on the Story) and paste it into ClipRip. Keep in mind that Stories expire after 24 hours on Instagram, so grab them before they disappear.

Question 3

Why does the download not work for some Instagram posts?

Accepted Answer

ClipRip can only access content from public Instagram accounts. If the account is set to private, the post will not be accessible. Also, some posts may have sharing restrictions set by the account owner.

Question 4

What quality do I get?

Accepted Answer

You get the same quality that Instagram serves to its users. For Reels and video posts, this is typically 1080x1920 for vertical content or 1080x1080 for square posts. The resolution matches what you see when viewing the content on Instagram.

Question 5

Can I download Instagram carousel posts with multiple videos?

Accepted Answer

ClipRip will download the video content from the post. For carousel posts that contain multiple videos, you may need to grab each video's direct link separately. Single video posts and Reels work with one paste.
