How to Download an Instagram Video Without Audio (Muted)
Sometimes you don't want the sound at all — you just need the visuals. Whether you're editing a video with your own voiceover, adding new music, or reusing a silent clip for a project, downloading an Instagram video without audio saves you an extra muting step. Here's how to do it for free, in seconds.
Why Download a Muted Instagram Video
There are several practical reasons to skip the original audio:
- Adding your own voiceover or commentary over the footage
- Replacing the original sound with different music or a soundtrack
- Reusing the visual content in a project where the original audio isn't relevant
- Avoiding copyrighted music when re-editing a clip
Manually muting a downloaded video afterward takes extra software and time — getting a pre-muted version directly is much faster.
How to Download an Instagram Video Without Audio Using ICANDL
ICANDL gives you three format choices for every Instagram link: video with audio, video only (muted), or audio only. Here's how to get the muted version.
Step 1: Copy the Instagram Video Link
Open Instagram, find the video, Reel, or post you want, tap the Share icon, then Copy Link.
Step 2: Open ICANDL
Go to icandl.com in your browser — desktop or mobile, no app needed.
Step 3: Paste the Link and Click Download
Paste the Instagram link into the input box and press Download. ICANDL processes the post in a few seconds and shows the available formats.
Step 4: Select "Download Video Only"
Choose Download Video Only to save the video with the original sound removed — a fully muted file ready for your own audio.
Video Only vs. Video + Audio vs. Audio Only
Every Instagram link processed by ICANDL gives you:
- Download Video + Audio — the original post, unchanged
- Download Video Only — the muted version, no sound
- Download Audio Only — just the sound track, no video
If you plan to add your own voiceover or music, "Video Only" is exactly what you need.

ICANDL only works with publicly available Instagram posts. You are responsible for how you use downloaded content, including any re-editing or re-uploading — ICANDL does not host media files and does not encourage copyright infringement.
