How does PasteDL keep every download safe and public-only?

Your privacy is the default. PasteDL never asks for your Instagram password or logs in to your account. Public links go through PasteDL's media backend, and a CDN may cache files briefly for reliable delivery. PasteDL adds no watermark and never gets around private-content controls. It keeps limited technical logs for security and operations, not a personal download library.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best free Instagram downloader?

PasteDL is a free Instagram downloader for public videos, Reels, stories, photos, highlights and profile pictures. There is nothing to install: no app, no extension, no APK and no Instagram login. Videos save as MP4 and images as JPG, and PasteDL adds no watermark. It works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, with no daily cap. Private accounts and deleted posts are out of reach, and PasteDL is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. Use it only for content you own or have permission to save.

How do I download Instagram videos without an app?

Copy the public Instagram link from the share menu, then paste it into the matching PasteDL tool. PasteDL spots the content type and gets the MP4 or JPG ready. Tap Download to save it to your iPhone, Android phone, Windows PC, Mac or Linux computer, with no app, extension or signup. Most posts take a few seconds, and PasteDL never asks for your Instagram password. Size and sound follow what Instagram serves. Pick the Video, Reels, Stories, Photo, Profile Picture, Highlights or Profile tool for step-by-step help. Only public content works.

Can people see if you download their Instagram content?

Instagram, not PasteDL, controls what its systems record, so no downloader can honestly promise that activity is invisible. What PasteDL can say is about itself: it never asks you to sign in or share a password, cookie or email address, so it does not work through your account. PasteDL keeps limited technical logs for security and operations, not a personal download library. Save only content you own or have permission to download.

Can you download private Instagram content?

No. PasteDL only works with public Instagram content. Private accounts, Close Friends stories, deleted or archived posts and age- or region-restricted content are out of reach, and PasteDL does not get around Instagram's privacy controls. It is an independent tool, not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. If the account is yours, use Instagram's own Download Your Information tool. For public posts, save only what you own or have permission to download, because copyright and local law still apply.
