Quick answer
To download an IG TV video, copy its link — usually an instagram.com/tv/ URL — and paste it into the box above. Where Instagram still exposes the media, the full MP4 is returned with no length limit and nothing truncated.
Features
What you get every time you paste a link — no settings to choose and no version of this that costs money.
How to save IG long videos in 4 simple steps
Follow the steps below. No account needed, no app to install — just a link and a click.
Step 1 — Find the long video
- Open it on a public profile. It may be labelled as a video post rather than as IGTV.
Step 2 — Copy the link
- Use the share menu and choose 'Copy link'. A /tv/ URL and a /p/ URL for the same video both work.
Step 3 — Paste it above
- Drop the URL into the field on this page and press Download.
Step 4 — Save the MP4
- Press download and let it run. Large files simply take longer to arrive.
IG terms used on this page
Instagram's own vocabulary, in plain words — worth two minutes if the shorthand is new to you.
- IGTV
- Instagram's retired long-form video product. The /tv/ links it created still resolve.
- /tv/
- The URL segment that marks a legacy IGTV video.
- Long-form
- Instagram video beyond the usual reel length — minutes to an hour or more.
- Streaming
- Bytes pass straight through to your browser, so the download starts immediately.
IG link formats this page accepts
Paste any of these. Share wrappers and ?igsh= tracking parameters are handled for you, so a link copied in the app works exactly as it arrives.
- instagram.com/tv/ABC123/
- The legacy IGTV permalink.
- instagram.com/p/ABC123/
- Long videos re-filed as feed posts resolve here too.
- instagram.com/reel/ABC123/
- Accepted, though reels have their own page.
- instagram.com/share/…
- The wrapper the app's share sheet produces. Followed to the real post automatically.
- …?igsh=… and other tracking parameters
- Stripped before the lookup, so a link copied on a phone works exactly as pasted.

About the IG TV downloader
IGTV was Instagram's answer to long-form video, complete with its own app and its own tab. Both are gone: long videos were folded into the main feed and the branding was retired. The URLs were not. Millions of /tv/ links are still out there in bios, articles and old messages, and they still point at real videos.
This page handles those links, plus any long-form Instagram video that behaves like them. Files that run to an hour are treated no differently from a 30-second clip — the bytes stream straight through to your browser rather than being buffered on our side first.
The IG TV downloader is a browser-based tool that saves public Instagram long videos to your device as MP4, with no account, no app and no Instagram login required. “IG” is simply how people abbreviate Instagram — the tool, the file and the result are the same either way.

Frequently asked questions
Does IGTV still exist?
Not as a product. Instagram shut down the standalone app and merged long videos into the main feed, but existing /tv/ links still resolve and long-form uploads still happen. This page covers both.
Why is my IG TV download taking so long?
Long videos are large files, and the speed is set by your connection and Instagram's CDN. Nothing is throttled here, and nothing is queued — a slow download is a big file, not a waiting room.
Can I download only part of a long video?
No. The MP4 arrives whole, exactly as Instagram stores it. Trimming is something to do afterwards in any video editor.
What does IGTV stand for?
Instagram TV — the long-form video product Instagram launched separately and later folded into the main feed. The /tv/ links it created still resolve, which is what this page handles.
Is IG TV the same as an IG video?
It is the same MP4, just longer. IGTV was a separate surface for long-form uploads; the file format and the way you save it are identical to any other Instagram video.
Can I download a long IG video on mobile data?
You can, but a long video is a large file. On a metered connection it is worth waiting for Wi-Fi — nothing is throttled here, so the download will use whatever bandwidth it is given.
