How it works

Three steps, then it's just copy → click

Scroll down — the screen on the left follows each step.

1

Install and leave it in the tray

The installer takes under a minute. Turn on “launch with Windows” and RaccoonDown waits quietly in the tray.

2

Copy a link Ctrl+C

A YouTube video, an Instagram post, an X thread, a profile address — the popup appears the moment you copy.

3

Click “Download now”

Saved in your remembered quality. When it finishes, play it or open the folder straight from the notification.

Windows 10 · 11 (64-bit) · Free · v1.86

Download raccoondown_setup.exe

If the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime is missing, the installer points you to Microsoft's free download.

FAQ

Good questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No feature limits and no paid tier. A small ad banner may appear on the download screen in the future, but the program stays free.

Which versions of Windows?

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. It needs the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime; if it's missing the installer tells you where to get it. Installs to your user folder without admin rights.

Windows shows a blue “protected your PC” screen.

RaccoonDown is new and not yet code-signed, so SmartScreen doesn't recognise it. Click More info → Run anyway. Only use the installer downloaded from this site.

Can I download Instagram Stories or private posts?

Yes. Sign in to Instagram (or X, Pinterest) once from Settings. The sign-in window is the site's own official page; RaccoonDown never stores your username or password.

Where do files go?

By default into Downloads › RaccoonDown, sorted by site › account › section (Stories, posts…). Change the location any time from Settings or the left menu.

How do I choose quality?

The default is “Best quality (MP4 · plays anywhere)”. Pick a resolution from “Options” in the popup or on the download screen, and it's remembered. Use “Audio only” for MP3.

What data is collected?

Only if you opt in during installation: an anonymous install ID and aggregate counts such as “how many downloads per site”. Never links, titles, file names or IP addresses. See the privacy policy.

What about copyright?
