A little how-to

How it works.

The exact prompts and download location can vary by iOS and browser version.

01
Copy a public link

In Instagram, open a Reel or post, tap Share and copy its link.

02
Paste in your browser

Return to Laqta in Safari or another browser, press and hold the field if needed, then choose Get media.

03
Save and find the file

Tap Download video · MP4. Check your browser’s Downloads list or the Files app after confirming any prompt.

The useful details

Before you save.

The exact prompts and download location can vary by iOS and browser version.

If Paste cannot access the clipboard

Browsers may ask for clipboard permission or prevent the Paste button from reading it. Press and hold inside the link field and use the system Paste command instead; the downloader does not need your Instagram login.

Files versus Photos

An MP4 may be stored in Safari’s Downloads location rather than appearing in Photos. Open the Files app and check Downloads; how you move or share the file depends on your iOS version and browser settings.

Photos, carousel items and covers

A single public post link can return more than one available card. Choose Download photo for an image or Download video for an MP4. Save cover is a still image, not a copy of the video.

Limits on public links

Laqta cannot retrieve private posts or Stories and may be unable to load restricted or unavailable content. Video, resolution, sound and a separate M4A option depend on the files Instagram provides.

Save responsibly

No downloader app or Instagram sign-in is needed. Only save content you own or are allowed to download, and obtain further permission before reusing someone else’s work.

Good to know

A few quick
answers.

Useful answers before you save.

Do I need an iPhone app?

No. Laqta is a browser-based tool. Safari and other iPhone browsers can handle the available downloads, subject to their own settings.

Where did my video go?

Check your browser’s Downloads list and the Files app. It may not appear in Photos automatically.

Does it work for private posts?

No. Only supported publicly accessible posts are eligible.
