How to Download an Instagram Reel
Open the Reel in Instagram, tap the paper-plane or three-dot menu and choose Copy link. Paste it above, press Download and pick a quality. When the file has been prepared, press Save file.
Supported Instagram Links
The tool accepts links in the form instagram.com/reel/..., instagram.com/p/... and instagram.com/tv/... for public content. Stories, private accounts and content that requires you to be logged in cannot be downloaded.
Use Downloads Responsibly
Reels belong to their creators. Save your own Reels for backups and repurposing, and always ask permission and give credit before sharing someone else's content.
Video Quality & Format Guide
- 1080p (Full HD): sharpest picture, largest file. Best for big screens.
- 720p (HD): a good balance of quality and size for phones and laptops.
- 480p / 360p: small files that save data and storage.
- Audio only: just the sound, ideal for music, lectures and podcasts.
