These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to the InDownloader website, its downloader tools, and the API that supports them (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

“InDownloader,” “we,” and “us” refer to the maintainers publishing the Service under the InDownloader name. The site does not currently publish a separate legal-entity name or postal address. Contact details appear below and on the About page.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old and legally able to agree to these Terms. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, use the Service only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Do not use the Service if applicable law, a court order, or another binding restriction prohibits you from doing so.

What the Service provides

InDownloader accepts supported Instagram links or public profile identifiers, attempts to locate media made available through Instagram or Meta systems, and presents download options. A selected photo or video is normally streamed from a Meta media host through the InDownloader API to your browser. The audio tool fetches a selected video through that proxy and performs audio extraction or conversion in your browser.

The Service is intended for publicly accessible content. It may support public Reels, feed posts, photos, carousels, profile pictures, Stories, or Highlights, but feature availability depends on current configuration and on what Instagram makes accessible. Some optional features may use an operator-managed Instagram session. InDownloader never asks you to provide your Instagram password, session cookie, or authentication code.

Permission to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, you may use the Service on a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable basis for personal or other lawful purposes for which you have authorization. This permission covers use of the interface and API only as they are made available through the website. It does not transfer ownership of the Service, its branding, or third-party media.

Your responsibility for content

You may download content only when you created or own it, have the creator's permission, or have another valid legal right to do so. You are responsible for determining whether downloading, storing, editing, sharing, publishing, or otherwise using a file is permitted in your circumstances.

A post being publicly viewable does not place it in the public domain.
Downloading a file does not transfer copyright or grant a reuse license.
Giving credit does not replace permission when permission is required.
Copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, contractual, and other rights may apply to the same content.

Prohibited use

You must not use or attempt to use the Service to:

infringe copyright, privacy, publicity, trademark, or other rights;
access private, close-friends, follower-only, paid, age-restricted, region-restricted, deleted, or otherwise restricted content without lawful authorization;
bypass authentication, access controls, technical protections, or platform restrictions;
harass, stalk, exploit, impersonate, threaten, or expose personal information about another person;
download or distribute unlawful content or use media for fraud or deception;
run high-volume automated lookups, scrape the Service, circumvent rate limits, or create traffic that degrades availability for others;
probe, attack, reverse engineer for abuse, inject malicious input, misuse the download endpoint as a general-purpose proxy, or interfere with security;
resell the Service, falsely claim ownership of it, or imply an affiliation with InDownloader, Instagram, or Meta; or
send passwords, session cookies, authentication codes, or other account credentials through a downloader or support message.

Creator and platform rights

Creators and other rights holders retain their rights in the media available through Instagram. InDownloader does not claim ownership of that media and does not grant permission to reuse it. You should obtain permission directly from the relevant rights holder when required.

Instagram and Meta names, logos, services, and media systems belong to their respective owners. InDownloader is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc.

Third-party services and rules

The Service depends on third-party systems, including our hosting and network infrastructure and Instagram or Meta pages, metadata, and media delivery. Your use of those services and their content may also be subject to their own terms, policies, and technical restrictions. These Terms do not replace any obligation you have to a creator, platform, employer, school, or other third party.

We do not control Instagram's availability, content decisions, account rules, signed media URLs, or changes to its website and interfaces. A result appearing in InDownloader is not a representation that Instagram or a rights holder has approved your intended use.

Privacy

The Privacy Policy explains how submitted links, network information, brief metadata caches, operational logs, previews, downloads, browser storage, and contact messages are handled. By using the Service, you acknowledge that this technical processing is necessary to respond to requests.

Availability, rate limits, and feature changes

The Service is provided without a promise of continuous availability. A link may fail because content is private, restricted, removed, unsupported, region-limited, expired, or temporarily unavailable; because Instagram changed its systems; or because the Service or an upstream provider is experiencing an error or rate limit. Available quality and formats depend on the media versions Instagram makes accessible at the time.

We may add, change, pause, limit, or discontinue any feature. We may also reject, throttle, or block requests when reasonably necessary to address abuse, excessive traffic, technical risk, rights concerns, legal obligations, or platform changes. There is no guaranteed response time, service level, or obligation to preserve a particular feature.

Service content and software

The InDownloader name, site copy, original graphics, interface design, and service-specific software are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws and belong to their respective owners or licensors. Open-source dependencies remain subject to their own licenses. Except for the limited permission above, these Terms do not grant a right to copy, distribute, sell, or create a competing service from protected InDownloader materials.

Reporting rights and safety concerns

If you believe the Service is being used to infringe your rights, expose private information, or create a safety risk, contact us with the relevant Instagram URL, the InDownloader page or feature involved, a clear description of the concern, and a way to reply. Do not send account credentials or unnecessary sensitive information.

InDownloader generally streams media from third-party hosts rather than permanently hosting a user-uploaded copy. Even so, we can review whether a technical restriction, correction, or other reasonable response is available. Sending a report does not guarantee a particular outcome and does not replace a rights request made directly to the platform or content host.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty—express, implied, or statutory—that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with every device, or able to process every link; that a result is complete or accurate; or that downloaded content may lawfully be used for your intended purpose.

Information on the site is general product and educational information, not legal advice. If the legality of downloading or reusing content matters in your situation, seek advice from a qualified professional in the relevant jurisdiction.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, InDownloader and its maintainers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, content, revenue, profits, opportunity, or reputation arising from or related to the Service, third-party platforms, unavailable or incorrect results, downloaded media, or your use of that media.

You remain responsible for your conduct, devices, files, permissions, and dealings with creators and third parties. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits a warranty, remedy, responsibility, or liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited.

Ending access

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or block access to all or part of the Service when reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, platform protection, maintenance, or discontinuation. Provisions that by their nature should continue—such as rights ownership, disclaimers, and limits of liability—continue after access ends.

Applicable law and mandatory rights

These Terms do not designate an exclusive governing jurisdiction or court. The law and forum that apply to a dispute depend on the circumstances and any mandatory rules that govern the parties. Nothing in these Terms waives consumer protections or other rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms when the Service, its providers, or its legal and safety requirements change. The updated date at the top identifies the latest published version. If you continue using the Service after revised Terms take effect, you accept the revised Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Service.
