Source-backed choices

Formats and quality

Instagram commonly exposes a small number of compressed MP4 variants. Resolution and audio choices depend on the specific public post and may be more limited than the uploaded master.

Instagram can require authentication for content that looks visible in an already signed-in browser. Lynvado does not receive your browser session or cookies.

Know the boundary

Instagram download limitations

Private accounts, Close Friends content, login-only posts, drafts, and direct messages are unsupported.
Stories are often session-bound or temporary and are not claimed as supported.
Multi-item posts may not expose every item as a selectable video format.

Real failure modes

Instagram troubleshooting

Why can I view the Reel but Lynvado cannot?

Your browser may be signed in while Lynvado makes an anonymous public request. If Instagram requires that session, the media is outside Lynvado’s public-only boundary.

Why is only one MP4 available?

Instagram may expose one normalized public rendition. Lynvado does not invent extra resolutions by re-encoding the file.

Can Lynvado download a private Reel?

No. Lynvado does not accept credentials or cookies and cannot cross an account’s privacy setting.

Why did my prepared download expire?

Lynvado stores completed files temporarily, normally for 60 minutes. The signed storage URL expires sooner; request the download again while the job remains ready or reanalyze the source link.
