Frequently Asked Questions

MP4 is the most compatible video container — every device, every browser, every player handles it. This endpoint forces MP4 output even when the source platform serves a different format (.webm, .mov, .mkv).

H.264 video with AAC audio — the same combination Netflix, YouTube, and every smart TV ship by default. No conversion needed on the receiving end.

Yes. Both audio and video are muxed into a single MP4 file. If you want audio only, use the MP3 endpoint instead.

Up to 4K (2160p) when the source provides it. Instag never upscales — a 720p original yields a 720p MP4.

Any platform Instag supports for video. If the video downloader works on a URL, the MP4 endpoint does too — they share the same extractor.

When the source is already MP4, Instag passes it through untouched — no quality loss. When the source is a different container (e.g. WebM), there's a one-time remux but no re-encode, so quality is preserved.

Save the file to your phone's Camera Roll (iOS) or Downloads folder (Android). The default Photos / Files app plays MP4 natively, no extra app required.

Instag doesn't include an editor — the MP4 you get is the full source clip. Open in any free editor (iMovie, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve) to trim afterwards.

Yes — same as every other endpoint. No sign-up, no daily cap. Pro removes ads and adds bulk downloads.

Paste each URL on a new line. Instag queues them, fetches in parallel, and returns one ZIP of MP4 files.

No. Files are streamed through and discarded; there's no history page because there's no history.

Retry once — high-traffic sources occasionally drop a request. If it still fails, the video may be private, geo-restricted, or DRM-protected (none of which Instag bypasses).
