Only download videos you are legally allowed to download — your own uploads, public-domain works, Creative Commons material, content you have the rights holder’s permission to save, or anything that qualifies under fair use or another exception in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for confirming you have that right. See Acceptable Use.

Why switch from SnapInsta or FastDL to TubePull?

TubePull is an ad-free, browser-based SnapInsta and FastDL alternative for authorized Instagram and multi-platform downloads. Unlike ad-funded Instagram downloaders that rotate across .app, .to, .io, and .li mirror domains or display interstitial ad cards between clicks, TubePull operates on a single official domain (tubepull.com) funded by optional subscriptions.

  • One-click numbered carousel ZIPs. Where SnapInsta and FastDL require clicking a separate download button for each slide in a 10- or 20-slide carousel, TubePull bundles every .jpg photo and .mp4 video slide into a single sequentially numbered .zip archive (or lets you pick an individual slide).
  • Full 1080p Reels and Original-resolution JPGs free. Instagram encodes video uploads at up to 1080p, so TubePull includes the top 1080p MP4 stream and the uncropped Original JPG display rung on the free tier with no quality gate.
  • Audio extraction and Clip Range trimming. Save native M4A audio or trim a specific timestamp segment with Clip Range on every tier, or upgrade to Pro for 320 kbps MP3 conversion and 5-URL batch queues.
  • 12+ platforms in one place. Use the same daily allowance or Pro plan across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Twitch, and more.

The honest tradeoff: SnapInsta and FastDL instances offer unlimited free one-off downloads funded by display and pop-under advertising networks. TubePull's free tier is capped at 3 downloads per rolling 24 hours so we can run hosted workers with zero ads. Pro is $4.99/month and removes the daily cap for normal personal use under our fair-use policy.

Download an Instagram Reel, photo, or carousel in three steps

  1. Copy the Instagram post URL. Open the public Instagram Reel, video, photo, or carousel you have permission to save and copy its link from the address bar or Share menu.
  2. Paste the link above. Standard instagram.com/reel/..., instagram.com/p/..., legacy /tv/..., mobile share links, and ddinstagram.com or instagramez.com links are supported with no login required for public posts.
  3. Choose your format and save. Select 1080p MP4 video, a numbered .zip archive (or single slide) for multi-slide carousels, Original/Large/Medium JPG for stills, or audio extraction.

How TubePull compares to Mollygram for Stories and Highlights

While SnapInsta and FastDL focus on URL-based post downloads, tools like Mollygram (mollygram.com) operate as @username profile viewers that rely on shared public scraping pools to browse active 24-hour Stories. Because Meta auth-gates the /stories/ endpoint, anonymous Story viewers frequently stall on loading spinners when Instagram updates rate limits, and they do not package multi-slide feed carousels into numbered .zip archives.

TubePull separates public post downloads from Story and Highlight access cleanly: public Reels, feed videos, photos, and carousels never touch a session and need no login, while Instagram Stories (/stories/<username>/<id>) and Highlights (/stories/highlights/<id>) use an optional, free one-time encrypted session link in your TubePull account settings. Your linked credential only retrieves Stories or Highlights your account is already permitted to view, never asks for your password, and can be disconnected at any time.

Questions about switching from SnapInsta, FastDL, or Mollygram

Is TubePull affiliated with SnapInsta, FastDL, or Mollygram?
No. TubePull is an independent video, photo, and audio downloader operated by Moondust Studios (tubepull.com). This page is for people comparing SnapInsta, FastDL, or Mollygram with an ad-free Instagram downloader.
How is TubePull different from SnapInsta and FastDL?
TubePull has zero ads, no pop-under tabs, no fake Continue buttons, and no rotating mirror domains (.app, .to, .io). Public Instagram Reels and feed videos download as 1080p MP4, single photos download at Original resolution, and multi-slide carousels bundle into a single numbered .zip archive in one click instead of forcing you to click each slide separately. The free tier includes 3 downloads per rolling 24 hours with no signup, while Pro is $4.99/month.
Can I download an entire Instagram carousel as one ZIP instead of clicking every slide?
Yes. Where SnapInsta and FastDL require clicking a separate download button for each slide, TubePull packages all .jpg and .mp4 slides from a public carousel into one sequentially numbered .zip archive (01..N), or lets you pick an individual slide.
How does TubePull compare to Mollygram for Instagram Stories and Highlights?
Mollygram is a username-based profile viewer that relies on shared public scraping pools to browse active 24-hour Stories, which frequently stall when Instagram updates rate limits and do not bundle carousel ZIPs. TubePull is a direct-URL downloader: public Reels, feed videos, photos, and carousels work anonymously with no login, while Stories and Highlights use an optional, free one-time encrypted account link for profiles your account can already view.
Do I need to log in or share my Instagram password to download Reels or photos?
Never for public posts. Public Instagram Reels, feed videos, single photos, and carousels need no account and no login. Only Instagram Stories and Highlights—which Meta auth-gates at the server level—require a free, one-time encrypted session link in your TubePull account settings, and TubePull never asks for your Instagram password.
Can I extract audio or trim a clip from an Instagram video?
Yes. Every tier includes native M4A audio extraction and Clip Range timestamp trimming (up to 1 hour of output on the free tier) on Instagram video posts. Upgrading to TubePull Pro ($4.99/month) unlocks 320 kbps MP3 conversion, removes the daily download cap for normal personal use, and adds a batch queue of up to 5 URLs.
