Whatever Instagram serves — usually 1080p for reels and videos uploaded since 2022, 720p for older or heavily-compressed clips. We list every available resolution so you can pick. In our April 2026 testing on a sample @natgeo Reel, top available resolution was 720p at 1.35 Mbps — no 1080p variant existed on Instagram's CDN for that clip. We show exactly what's there and don't upscale.
No. We don't add one. The file you download is Instagram's original — whatever they store is what you get.
Instagram serves many reels as DASH streams (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP — MDN has a primer at developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Source_API/Transcoding_assets_for_MSE). In DASH, video and audio live in separate files so the player can pick the best quality for each connection. When you click Download we use ffmpeg on our server to merge them into one MP4 with sound. The merge runs on-the-fly and nothing is saved to disk.
Yes. On any video or reel result, the 'Audio only' row has an MP3 button that transcodes the audio stream to MP3 on our server and streams it to your browser.
Yes, single-image and carousel photo posts are supported. Because Instagram's image CDN won't let us proxy photos, the file saves with Instagram's original filename — you can rename after download.
No. ClipLatch only works on public Instagram URLs that don't require login. We never ask for your Instagram password.
No. We stream files from Instagram's CDN through our server to your browser without writing to disk. We also don't log the URLs you paste.
Any device with a modern browser. There's no app to install — just paste and download.
