About Video Controls & Downloader for Instagram
The video controls Instagram forgot. Seek, change speed, download videos and photos, and let Reels play hands-free, right inside instagram.com.
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.0.2
• Photo download: hover any photo in a post, carousel or story and click the download button. Full resolution, saved to Downloads/Instagram.
• Reels auto-scroll: turn it on and the next reel starts the moment one ends. Switch it from the bar or the extension popup. Off by default.
• Works right away: no need to reload Instagram after installing or updating.
• Clearer messages in your own language when something goes wrong.
• Redesigned popup with light and dark themes.
WHY PEOPLE INSTALL IT
Instagram on desktop gives you almost no control over videos. You can't skip ahead, you can't slow down a tutorial, and you can't save a reel you love. This extension adds a clean control bar that looks like part of Instagram and appears only when you hover.
EVERYTHING YOU GET
• Seek bar: click or drag to jump to any second, with the buffered range shown.
• Playback speed: 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x and 2x, one tap to cycle.
• One-click video download: full-quality MP4 with sound. Always the exact video you clicked, named by creator and post so it's easy to find.
• Photo download: posts, every slide of a carousel, and stories.
• Reels auto-scroll: hands-free Reels, only when you want it.
• True fullscreen: vertical videos keep their real shape, no cropping or stretching.
• Time display: elapsed and total time.
• Works on Reels, stories, posts and the home feed.
• 14 languages: English, Türkçe, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Русский, 日本語, 한국어, العربية, हिन्दी, Bahasa Indonesia, 中文.
HOW TO USE
1. Open instagram.com.
2. Hover over a video: the control bar appears at the bottom.
3. Hover over a photo: a download button appears in the corner.
4. Click the extension icon in the toolbar to turn the bar or Reels auto-scroll on and off.
