Why Grabbit for Instagram downloads on Windows

🎬

Grabbit works with Instagram Reels, standard feed videos, and IGTV posts from public accounts. Paste the link and download in seconds.

🎧

Extract audio as MP3

Want just the audio from an Instagram Reel? Switch to Audio only mode before downloading to save the track as an MP3 file on your PC.

🚫

No pop-up ads

Web Instagram downloaders are littered with deceptive ads. Grabbit is a clean desktop app — no fake buttons, no redirects.

📦

Batch mode (Pro)

Download multiple Instagram videos or Reels at once with Pro batch mode — up to 50 links queued and downloaded automatically.

What content can Grabbit download from Instagram?

Grabbit can download video content from public Instagram accounts. This includes Reels (the short-form vertical videos), standard feed posts with video, and IGTV long-form videos. The content must be publicly accessible — Grabbit does not support logging in to private accounts, as this would violate Instagram's terms of service.

Instagram GIFs and images from carousels are not the primary use case for Grabbit — it's optimized for video content. If you need to save still images from Instagram, your browser's right-click save feature is typically faster.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download Instagram Reels to my PC?

Yes. Grabbit downloads public Instagram Reels to your Windows PC. Copy the Reel URL from Instagram, paste it into Grabbit, and click Fetch → Add to Queue. The video is saved to your chosen downloads folder.

Does it work with private Instagram accounts?

No. Grabbit only downloads from public Instagram accounts. Private posts require authentication which Grabbit does not support. To save private content, you would need to be logged in and use Instagram's own save features within the app.

Is the Instagram video downloader for Windows free?

Yes. Grabbit is free with a permanent free plan — 10 single downloads and 1 batch session, no time limit, no credit card. For unlimited Instagram downloads, Pro starts at $8.99/month or $59.99/year.

What quality do Instagram videos download in?

Grabbit downloads Instagram videos at the highest quality available from the source. Reels are typically served at up to 1080p. The exact quality depends on the original upload.

Can I download multiple Instagram Reels at once?

Yes, with Pro. Batch mode lets you add up to 50 Instagram links to the queue and downloads them all automatically — useful for archiving content or saving Reels from a creator you follow.
