Download video:
<ul>
<li><b>in MP4 format with sound</b> ();</li>
<li>with frame rates up to 30 fps;</li>
<li>in the highest possible resolutions.</li>
</ul>
Download audio (from video):
<ul>
<li>in MP4 and MP3 (*) formats;</li>
<li>at the highest possible bitrate.</li>
</ul>
<b>Important</b>: the list of available download options depends on characteristics of the original file! E.g. initially posted 360p @24 fps video without sound cannot be downloaded in HD @30 fps with sound.
Other features of the browser extension:
<ul>
<li>downloaded files have readable (human-friendly) names;</li>
<li>you can choose the button style: modern interface (appears on mouse over) and classic interface (appears on click);</li>
<li><b>"embedded" videos loading support</b>, i.e. Instagram videos hosted on third-party sites;</li>
<li><b>button for downloading images in maximum quality</b>, i.e. the ability to save photos from the gallery;</li>
<li>ability to <b>download Reels</b>, IGTV videos, regular videos;</li>
<li>thoughtful help section with answers to frequently asked questions;</li>
<li>several really useful settings :)</li>
</ul>
() In some cases, Instagram stores audio and video streams separately, therefore, to download video with sound they must be “glued” (muxing):
<ul>
<li>for small streams (up to 2 GB in total) the extension itself merges audio and video files, i.e. “on-the-fly” right in the browser;</li>
<li>for larger streams it is proposed to use IDL Client utility to avoid “freezing” of the browser tab.</li>
</ul>
(*) Instagram doesn't support MP3 format. So, to grab MP3 sound from videos, the extension uses built-in audio converter for files up to 2 GB or suggests using IDL Client software otherwize.
