July 23, 2013 by Saqib Leave a Comment

As we know, Instagram is now not just limited to photos, but users can now create and share short videos with the app. Instagram allows users to capture a video of 15 seconds and not a single second more than that, and in these 15 seconds, you have to convey your message and impress the world. Once you’ve created the video, you can then share it on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Foursquare. While the sharing feature works great, have you ever wanted to download Instagram video to your computer? You might want to share the video on a DVD, store it for your personal records or just want it when you’re offline, and in such cases, you may want to download the video to your desktop.
