What you can get
Public reels and video posts work. Private accounts, stories and anything that asks you to log in first cannot be read, because we have no account to read them with. Instagram serves its video as VP9, which belongs in a different container and shows a black screen in most players when it is handed over as an .mp4 — so we convert it to H.264 first. The file is bigger than the original and it opens anywhere.
Public posts only
This reads what the open web can see. A public account is public; a private one is visible to its followers, and reaching it would mean signing in as one of them. Stories are the same case with a clock attached — they need a session and they expire.
A missing field that cost us a bug
Instagram reports no duration for most posts. Our conversion step only re-encoded a file when it knew the clip was short enough to be worth it, and with no duration to check that test quietly failed — a VP9 reel went out unconverted and would not play on older phones.
The check no longer needs a duration to decide: a post of unknown length is treated as short rather than skipped.
The music is in the mix
A reel does not carry its song as a separate track. Music, speech and room noise are combined into one audio stream before Instagram stores it, so an MP3 of a reel is the whole mix rather than a clean copy of the song.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download a story?
No. Stories need an account to view.
Does the sound come with the video?
Yes, in the MP4.
What about a carousel?
You get the video it holds. Still photos in a carousel are images, not something this converts.
