Aspect Ratios and Video Codecs on Instagram

Standard Instagram feed videos differ from vertical Reels in their framing dimensions. Instagram supports three primary aspect ratios for feed videos:

1:1 Square: 1080x1080 pixels, common for music visualizers and square product promos.
4:5 Vertical: 1080x1350 pixels, the maximum vertical space available on standard feed posts.
16:9 Widescreen: 1920x1080 pixels, used for horizontal landscape footage and widescreen cinematic uploads.

All videos are stored as progressive H.264 video streams paired with stereo AAC audio. VidTwo extracts the raw MP4 container without converting or recompressing the frames.

Three Steps to Save Feed Videos

Copy the Video URL

Navigate to the Instagram video post, click the share paper plane icon, and select Copy Link.

Paste into VidTwo Video Downloader

Paste the copied URL into the VidTwo downloader. Our parser identifies the direct video source stream.

Download 1080p MP4

Select the 1080p MP4 quality option and tap Download to save the video directly to your storage.

Saving to iPhone, Android, and Computer

On iOS devices (iPhone and iPad), Safari saves downloaded videos into your Files app under the Downloads folder. You can tap the share icon within the Files app and choose "Save Video" to transfer the clip into your Photos camera roll. On Android and desktop browsers, the MP4 file lands directly in your default downloads directory.

If you need vertical short clips, visit our Instagram Reels Downloader, or extract photos using the Instagram Photo Downloader.
