How to download an Instagram carousel (all the videos) in 2026
A single Instagram post can hold several videos (and photos) that swipe across inside the same post: a carousel. Most downloaders only understand one video per link, so from a carousel they grab one and leave the rest behind. In this guide you'll see how to download all the videos in a carousel and pick which ones to save.
How to tell if a post is a carousel
A carousel shows several items you can swipe through (with little pagination dots at the bottom). Its link usually contains /p/. If it's a single Reel or video instead, you'll see just one clip; for that, use the Instagram downloader.
Download the videos from a carousel step by step
The process is the same on any device: you copy the link, paste it into PullVid and choose what to keep. Instead of a single file, you'll see a grid with each video in the carousel.
On Android
Open the post in the Instagram app, tap the ⋯ menu and choose "Copy link". Open Chrome, go to PullVid and paste the link. Pick the videos you want: they're saved to your phone's Downloads folder.
On iPhone
Tap ⋯ → "Copy link", open Safari and paste the link into PullVid. Each video you download lands in the Files app, from where you can move it to Photos.
On PC
Open the post in your browser, copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into PullVid. Choose the quality and download the videos in MP4 to your Downloads folder.
What about the photos in the carousel?
For now this tool downloads the videos in the carousel; downloading the photos is on the way. If the post mixes photos and videos, you get all the videos and you'll see a notice about the photos. For the audio of a Reel, there's the Instagram to MP3 converter.
Do you lose quality? Is it safe?
No quality is lost: PullVid pulls the original files that Instagram serves, in MP4 with audio, without re-encoding. It installs nothing and doesn't keep the files after the download. Only posts from public accounts can be downloaded, and the content belongs to its author: save it for personal use, not to redistribute.
Want the tool directly? Go to the Instagram carousel downloader and paste the post link.
