Hey Product Hunt! š
I built instagramtomp4.app to solve a problem I had every day ā saving Instagram Reels to my phone was ridiculously painful. Every existing tool is either buried in popup ads, breaks every few weeks when Instagram updates, or forces you to install some sketchy app.
So I built my own. Here's what makes it different:
š Fast ā Runs on Cloudflare's edge network (300+ global locations). Most downloads complete in under 2 seconds.
š”ļø Reliable ā 4-layer fallback parser. When Instagram changes their API (which they do every 1-3 months), we auto-switch to backup methods. No downtime.
š± Mobile-first ā Install as a PWA, then share directly from the Instagram app. No more copy-paste-switch-browser dance.
š« No junk ā No popups, no redirects, no watermarks, no login required.
The entire thing is built on Cloudflare Workers + D1 + R2 + KV. Total infrastructure cost: $14/year (just the domain). Everything else runs on Cloudflare's free tier.
Tech stack for the curious:
TypeScript Worker with 5 API routes
4-layer Instagram parser (GraphQL ā Embed ā PageData ā API fallback)
KV rate limiting, R2 caching, D1 analytics
PWA with Web Share Target
I'd love to hear:
What other platforms should I support next? (TikTok? Twitter/X?)
Would you pay for batch downloads (50 videos at once)?
Thanks for checking it out! š
