Reels are short vertical videos, and Instagram only lets you save your own. With this Instagram Reels downloader you paste a Reel link and download the Reels video as an MP4 in the same quality you watch in the app — usually 720p, with an HD 1080p option for many Reels.
Because Reels are often shared for their music or voice-over, every Reel also has an MP3 button that saves just the audio. You can also preview the Reel on this page and copy its caption and hashtags.
Downloaded Reels are normal video files: share them in WhatsApp, edit them in your favourite app or keep them to watch offline.

Is it safe and legal?
We never ask for your Instagram username or password, there is nothing to install, and we don't use tracking or analytics. Files are cached for a few hours so repeat downloads are fast, then deleted automatically.
Downloading for personal use — for example to watch offline — is common. Photos, videos and music still belong to their creators: don't re-upload, sell or claim other people's content as your own, and ask for permission if you want to reuse it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download Instagram Reels to my gallery?
Tap Video or HD. On Android the Reel goes straight to your gallery; on iPhone open it in the Files app and tap Share → Save Video to add it to your camera roll.
How long does it take?
The standard video usually starts downloading in under a second. HD on Apple devices takes a few seconds longer because it is converted to play on iPhone.
Can I download Reels on iPhone?
Yes. Open this page in Safari or Chrome, paste the link and download — the file goes to the Files app, from where you can save it to Photos.
Can I download the Reel's music?
Use the MP3 button to save the Reel's audio. Please respect the rights of the music's owners.
What quality are the Reels?
Usually 720p for the standard file and up to 1080p with HD, depending on what the creator uploaded.
Why is the sound missing from a Reel?
Very rarely Instagram removes licensed music from a Reel for some regions. The file then contains what Instagram serves, which may be silent.
Can I download posts from private accounts?
No. Only followers the owner has approved can see posts from a private account, so they can't be downloaded here.
Can I download Instagram Stories and Highlights?
Not at the moment. Instagram only shows Stories and Highlights to logged-in users, and we never log in to Instagram or ask for your account.
Why can't I download an age-restricted post?
Some owners limit who can see their content (for example by age or country). Those posts need a logged-in account, so they can't be downloaded.
Can I download deleted posts or live videos?
No. If a post was removed there is nothing left to save, and a live video can only be saved after it ends and is shared as a normal post or Reel.
