Troubleshooting
If the link does not work.
Confirm the post opens publicly and copy the complete post or Reel URL. Profiles, private posts, removed content and media requiring account access are outside the public downloader workflow.
Source platforms can change how public media is delivered. ContentDown does not bypass account permissions or ask for credentials to force access. See the Help Centre for link, quality and browser-download troubleshooting.

Frequently asked questions.
Which Instagram links are supported?+
Public posts and Reels are supported, including photos, videos and carousel posts. Private or inaccessible content is not bypassed.
Do I need an Instagram account?+
No. ContentDown does not ask for your Instagram username, password or login session.
Does ContentDown compress Instagram media?+
ContentDown does not intentionally re-encode or screen-record the file. Available quality depends on the media versions Instagram makes accessible for the public URL.
Can I download an Instagram carousel?+
Yes. When a supported public carousel is detected, its available photos and videos are shown as individual downloadable items in order.
Responsible use
Publicly accessible does not mean copyright-free.
Only download or reuse media you own, have permission to use, or are otherwise legally entitled to save. Saving a file does not transfer copyright, privacy or publicity rights.
