When it comes to Instagram and video, there are two main issues that you may want to address. On the one hand there are those who want to create a video for Instagram, on the other hand there are those who are looking for a simple and effective way to download videos from Instagram.
Instagram is a popular social network for the infinite number of multimedia files (both photos and videos) that can be found in the various profiles or thematic channels. If you have found an original video or a funny video that you would like to save on your computer (Windows PC or Mac), below you will surely find the best solution for you. These downloaded videos can also be viewed in offline mode, or converted and transferred to any other mobile device. But now let's see better how to deal with this need. Below we propose two methods, the first is an "automated" method that allows you to download videos from Instagram to your computer in a few simple steps; the second method is instead "manual" and requires a little patience and practicality with the computer.

I tried AllMyTube and I have to admit it is quite a nice piece of software. The thing that surprised me is the ease of use and the fact that it not only downloads videos from Instagram but also from many other sites such as Youtube, Vevo, Vimeo, RaiPlay, MediasetPlay, and so on ...
