How to download Instagram reels in HD: copy the link from Instagram, paste it into the box at the top of this page and press Download. You get an MP4 video in a few seconds. It is free, needs no login and adds no watermark.
Instagram is built for watching inside the app, but plenty of reels, videos, photos and stories are worth keeping for a flight, a lesson or a memory. ReelGrab saves public Instagram posts as clean files straight from their link, with no login and nothing to install. Reels and videos arrive as MP4, photos as JPG, and carousels show one button for every picture or clip. Stories need the story share link, and profile pictures need only the account name. We never ask for your password, we never add a watermark, and we keep the best quality the platform serves. Everything here is meant for personal use and for content you have the right to keep.
What it supports: Public reels, videos, photos, carousels, shared story links and public profile pictures.
How it works
How to download from Instagram
1. Copy the Instagram link
In the Instagram app, open the reel or post, tap the paper-plane Share icon, then choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the address from the browser bar.
2. Paste it into ReelGrab
Return here and paste the link into the box above. We fetch the file details for you and show a preview in a few seconds.
3. Download and save
Preview the file, then press Download. It goes to your phone gallery, Photos app or your computer's Downloads folder.
Good to know
What to know about Instagram links and files
Links that work
Post links contain /p/ or /reel/ and a short code. Story links contain /stories/, the account name and a number. An account link is just the user name.
What is supported
Public posts only. A carousel shows one button per picture or clip. Highlights, close-friends stories and private accounts are not supported.
Quality to expect
Video is usually 720p or 1080p. Photos are saved at the largest public size, commonly about 1080 pixels on the long side.
Common reasons it fails
Most failures come from a profile link used where a post link is needed, a private account, a deleted post, or a short block after many requests.
App or extension
Reels downloader app, extension or browser?
Many people look for a reels download application or a browser extension. You do not need either. This page does the whole job in your normal browser, on a phone or on a computer, with nothing to install and no account.
Apps and APK files from outside the official stores can carry malware and ask for far more access than saving a file needs. Extensions can read the pages you visit. A web page cannot read your files or contacts. If you still want an app feel, use Add to home screen. It places a shortcut on your phone or desktop that opens full screen, takes almost no space and always loads the latest version.
No app or APK to install
No extension that reads your browsing

Audio and music
Everything about reel audio and music
A saved reel keeps its sound. Trending songs, voice-overs and ambient audio stay in the MP4 exactly as the platform serves them, so what you hear in the app is what you hear offline.
Reels that use several sound layers are saved as the final mix. To get the audio on its own, use the Audio tab where a track is available, or open the MP4 in a free editor such as VLC or Audacity and export MP3 or WAV.
Music belongs to its artists and labels. Keep saved sound for personal listening and do not redistribute it or use it commercially without permission.

No. Files pass through as a stream and nothing is saved on our servers.
Why does a reel fail sometimes?
The post may be private, deleted, age-restricted, or the platform may be temporarily rate-limiting requests. Wait a moment and try again, or report the link to us.
