Direct answer
Tweet Media Archive works as an Instagram video downloader for supported posts and Reels. Paste the Instagram URL, choose a destination, and the extension saves the resolved video or photo. Past uploads keeps the original link beside the saved filename, which is useful when you come back to a reference weeks later.
Why the destination matters
Messy files
The file lands in Downloads, then you still have to rename it, move it, and remember which post it came from.
A repeatable folder
Choose the same Drive or Dropbox folder each time instead of rebuilding your archive after every download.
How to download an Instagram video or Reel
The save takes four steps:
- Install the browser extension from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
- Choose Google Drive, Dropbox, or local Downloads as the destination.
- Paste a supported Instagram post or reel URL.
- Keep the actual media file alongside your X/Twitter, Threads, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, or 4chan archive.
Only save or reuse media when you have the right or permission to do so. Tweet Media Archive handles the file workflow; it does not grant reuse rights.
