Download Instagram Reel — free online tool

Save a public Instagram Reel as MP4 from a /reel/ or /reels/ link, choose 1080p down to 240p, or keep just the soundtrack as MP3 or M4A.

What to know

A Reel is always one video, so this page never produces a ZIP. The source file is kept as an MP4 under Original quality, and the preview prints its real pixel size, typically a portrait frame like 1080 × 1920, together with the duration in minutes and seconds.

The quality ladder is measured on the short edge. A 1080 × 1920 Reel can be offered at 720p (720 × 1280) or 480p (480 × 854), and each step appears only if it is smaller than the source and the service can produce it. Lower steps are worth choosing when the clip is going into a chat message or a slide with a size limit.

The audio rows are the part that matters for Reels, since the sound is half the point. MP3, M4A and Opus come in several bitrates, while WAV and FLAC are offered as lossless containers; because the source audio is already compressed, converting to WAV or FLAC makes the file larger without restoring lost detail.

Trending Reels frequently use tracks that Instagram licenses only for use inside the app. Saving your own Reel for an archive is straightforward, but publishing someone else’s Reel or its music on another network can breach the creator’s rights or the music owner’s, so ask first.

  1. Open the Reel, tap Share, choose Copy link and paste it, for example https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cx1AbCdEfGh/.
  2. Check that the preview shows a portrait size such as 1080 × 1920 and a duration like 0:28.
  3. Select Original quality, or 720p for a smaller file; pick MP3 192 kbps instead if you only need the sound.
  4. Tick the rights box, press Prepare selected file, and download the finished .mp4 or audio file.

Quick answers

What does 720p mean for a vertical Reel?

The number is the shorter side, so a 720p Reel is 720 pixels wide and about 1280 tall. This is why a vertical clip can be offered at 1080p even though it is taller than that.

Why is there no 1440p option on my Reel?

Steps are listed only below the source resolution, and most Reels are published at 1080 on the short side. A step the source cannot support is never shown.

Can I save only the music from a Reel?

Yes, pick one of the audio rows in the preview. Remember that the track may be licensed only for Instagram, so use it privately unless you have the rights.
