Will SkedCast ever build a video downloader for other accounts?

No — the Terms of Service and copyright concerns apply regardless of who builds the tool, and saving your own content already has a legitimate, built-in path.

Can I download a video I posted myself?

Yes — every major platform has a built-in save/download option for your own posts; see the steps above for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

Is it illegal to download someone else’s video?

This is not legal advice, but downloading and reusing another creator’s content without permission commonly runs into both a platform’s Terms of Service and copyright law — get explicit permission first.

What if I need a video for a legitimate repost with credit?

Ask the original creator directly — most are open to a shared repost or a collaboration when asked, which also avoids using their content without consent.

Why can’t this be built as a simple browser tool anyway?

Platforms gate their media behind CORS restrictions and authenticated API calls a plain browser page cannot get past without a server-side proxy pretending to be the platform’s own app — the exact behavior their Terms of Service prohibit.

How do I back up my entire posting history at once?

Use the platform’s own official data-export tool, such as Meta’s "Download Your Information" or TikTok’s "Download your data", both reachable from account settings.

Why SkedCast does not offer this

Instagram video downloader

Looking for an Instagram video downloader? SkedCast does not offer a tool to download video, Story or Reel content from another account — downloading someone else’s content without authorization runs against most platforms’ Terms of Service and raises real copyright and privacy concerns, and it is not realistically buildable client-side anyway (platforms block this behind CORS and authentication). If you need to save your OWN content, every major platform has a built-in save/download option — covered below.

How to save YOUR OWN video, Story or Reel

Open your own post. Open the video, Reel or Story you posted yourself — this only works for content you own.
Find the options menu. Tap the "···" (more options) menu on the post, or the Share icon, depending on the platform.
Choose Save or Download. Select "Save video" or "Download" from the menu — every major platform offers this for content you posted.
Confirm it saved to your device. Check your device's camera roll or downloads folder for the saved file before closing the app.

Worked examples

Instagram, TikTok and Facebook all support this natively

Instagram and Facebook offer "Save video" from the "···" menu on your own post; TikTok offers "Save video" from its Share sheet — all three take under 10 seconds and require no third-party tool.

A full account backup

For every post at once rather than one at a time, use the platform's own official data-export tool, e.g. Meta's "Download Your Information" or TikTok's "Download your data", both reachable from account settings.
