What is an IGTV downloader?

IGTV was Instagram's long-form video format, supporting videos up to 60 minutes. Instagram has since merged IGTV into the regular video feed, but the content — and the /tv/ URL format — still exists. An IGTV downloader handles these longer files, which are substantially larger than reels, and delivers them as a single MP4. Instaclips downloads IGTV videos at original bitrate with no watermark added.

How it works

Three steps.
One minute.

  1. 1

    Copy the IGTV link

    From the three-dot menu on any IGTV episode, tap Copy link. URLs look like https://www.instagram.com/tv/SHORTCODE/.

  2. 2

    Paste into Instaclips

    Paste the URL above. Longer videos take slightly longer to process — usually 5–15 seconds for a 10-minute episode.

  3. 3

    Download as MP4

    Preview in the player, then click Download. Audio extraction and thumbnail download work the same as for reels.

Why people use
this tool.

Long videos, no limit

Up to 60 minutes per episode, hundreds of megabytes — Instaclips streams the file directly, no server-side buffering required.

Original bitrate

No re-encoding, no quality degradation. The MP4 you download is identical to what Instagram serves.

Vertical or horizontal

IGTV supports both orientations and aspect ratios. Instaclips preserves the original, no cropping.

Works on slow connections

The proxy supports HTTP Range requests, so large files resume properly if your browser drops the connection.

Use cases

Podcast hosts

Archive long-form interviews posted to IGTV alongside your main podcast feed for cross-platform backup.

FAQ

Good questions.

What's the maximum length for an IGTV download?

IGTV supports videos up to 60 minutes. Instaclips has no artificial length cap — if Instagram serves it, we can download it.

Why does IGTV download take longer than a reel?

File size. A 30-minute IGTV episode can be 200–500 MB versus 5–10 MB for a typical reel. Most of the time is transferring the file, not extraction.

Does IGTV still exist as a separate feature?

Instagram merged IGTV into the regular video tab in 2022, but the /tv/ URL format still works and videos posted before the merge remain accessible at their original links.

Can I download a specific chapter of an IGTV video?

No — the file is a single continuous MP4. Trim the downloaded file in any free editor like Clipchamp, iMovie, or VLC's Convert/Save feature.

What resolution do IGTV videos download at?

Typically 1080p for vertical IGTV, sometimes higher for horizontal episodes. Instaclips delivers the highest-quality progressive file Instagram serves publicly.
