Can I paste a profile URL?

No. You need a direct public post or reel URL.

Are stories supported?

No. Stories and highlights are out of scope in this rollout.

Yes, but the reel-specific guide is a better match for that intent.

Quick Answer

Copy the public Instagram post URL, paste it into Snapvie, wait for the direct download to be prepared, then save the file.

Open the exact Instagram post with the video and copy that URL rather than a profile link.

Snapvie checks whether the Instagram URL resolves to a supported public video or reel.

Once the download is ready, save it with your browser's normal flow.
