How to Download Instagram Reels

Copy the link

Open the Instagram app or website, find the reel you want, tap the share (paper-plane) icon below it and choose Copy link to copy the reel's URL.

Paste the link

Come back to this StoriesIG page and paste the copied reel link into the input field at the top, then press the search or download button.

Download

StoriesIG fetches the reel in a second or two — click Download to save the Instagram reel in HD, together with its original audio, straight to your device.

Instagram Reels Download

StoriesIG offers a fast, free and reliable Instagram Reels Download tool that saves any public reel straight to your device. Every reel is delivered as a standard MP4 file in its original HD quality — up to 1080p when the creator published it in HD.

Using it is as easy as copy, paste and save. Open the reel inside the Instagram app or website, tap the share icon and choose Copy link, then paste the link into the input box at the top of this page and press download.

The tool works in every modern web browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera and Edge — and on every device, from Windows PCs and Macs to Android phones, tablets, iPhones and iPads. Whatever you are using, the steps stay exactly the same.

There is nothing to install — no software, no browser extension and no app from the Play Store or App Store — so StoriesIG takes up no space on your phone. You only need to be online while the reel downloads; after that you can watch it offline any time, without spending extra mobile data.

A quick note on saving: Instagram's own Save (bookmark) only adds a reel to your saved items inside the app — no file lands on your device, and if the creator deletes the reel it disappears from there too. StoriesIG instead downloads a real MP4 to your phone or computer, so the reel is yours to keep, even offline.

The download keeps the source quality: StoriesIG grabs the best version Instagram serves and preserves the resolution, frame rate and vertical 9:16 format with no re-compression — up to Full HD 1080p. The file is a standard MP4 that plays on any phone or player and drops straight into a video editor.

You can download any reel from a public profile — from the feed, the Explore tab or straight from someone's profile. Use the full link (it looks like instagram.com/reel/…): in the app tap Share → Copy link, and on the Instagram website just copy the reel's address from your browser's address bar.

There are plenty of good reasons to download Instagram reels. You might want to keep a favourite clip to rewatch offline when you have no signal, back up reels you created yourself before they are lost, or collect inspiration and references if you are a creator studying trends.

Downloaded reels are also easy to share: send a funny clip to friends on WhatsApp, or set a reel as your WhatsApp status — because it saves without a watermark and keeps its original audio, it looks and sounds clean.

Downloading a reel is far better than screen recording it. A screen recording captures your status bar and notifications, often drops frames, and never quite matches the original sharpness or sound. StoriesIG instead saves the genuine source file, so you get full resolution and clean audio with none of the clutter.

Best of all, there are no limits and no hidden costs — download as many Instagram reels as you like, as often as you like, completely free. Downloading a public reel for personal, offline use is generally fine, but the copyright stays with the creator, so ask permission before reposting or using someone else's reel commercially. Paste a reel link above and start your Instagram Reels Download now.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of Instagram Reels?

Instagram Reels are short, vertical videos, usually between 15 and 90 seconds long, that users create and share inside Instagram. While Reels share some similarities with TikTok, they come with their own set of in-app editing tools — music, audio, effects, text and transitions — that let creators produce fun, engaging and highly personalised short videos for their followers and the wider Explore feed.

What does the Instagram Reels Downloader do?

The StoriesIG Instagram Reels Downloader lets you save Reels videos from public Instagram posts directly to your phone, tablet or computer. Instagram does not offer a built-in button to download someone's reel, so our tool fills that gap: you paste the reel link, and StoriesIG retrieves the original video file and hands it to you as a ready-to-play MP4, with its audio included and no watermark.

What is StoriesIG and how can it be used?

StoriesIG is a free online tool designed to download Reels videos, as well as other Instagram content, without any software installation. You can use it for all kinds of everyday purposes — saving reels to watch later when you are offline, sharing clips with friends and family, keeping a backup of your own posts, or building a personal collection of your favourite videos — all straight from your browser.

What is the maximum video resolution available for downloading Instagram Reels videos?

You can download Instagram Reels in resolutions up to 720p (HD), and in many cases up to 1080p (Full HD) when the creator originally published the reel in that higher quality. And if the reel was published in 4K, you get it in 4K too. StoriesIG always fetches the best version Instagram makes available for that particular post, so the file you save is as sharp as the source allows, with no extra compression added on our end.

Is StoriesIG a free service?

Yes, StoriesIG is completely free to use, with no subscription, trial or hidden charges at any point. You can download as many Instagram Reels videos as you want, as often as you want, without ever creating an account or entering payment details. The service is supported so that everyone can save reels freely, no matter how many downloads they need.

Is it legal to download Instagram Reels videos?

Downloading Instagram Reels for personal, offline use — such as rewatching them yourself or saving your own content — is generally considered fine. However, the copyright always remains with the person who created the reel, so if you plan to repost, publish or use the downloaded content commercially, you should ask the owner for permission first to stay on the right side of Instagram's terms and copyright law.

How can I download Instagram Reels videos on iPhone?

To download Instagram Reels on an iPhone or iPad, open the Safari browser on iOS 13 or later, or install a file manager such as Documents by Readdle. Copy the reel link from Instagram, visit StoriesIG, paste the link into the input box and start the download. Once the video is saved, tap Share and choose Save Video to move it into your Camera Roll.

How can I download Instagram Reels videos on Android?

Downloading Instagram Reels on an Android phone or tablet is quick and straightforward. Copy the reel's link from the Instagram app, open StoriesIG in your browser, paste the copied link into the input box and tap the Download button. The reel is saved as an MP4 and normally appears in your Gallery or in the Downloads folder, ready to watch offline whenever you like.

What devices are compatible with StoriesIG?

StoriesIG works on any device that has a web browser, so there is no need to install a dedicated app. You can use it on mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, laptops and desktop PCs, across operating systems including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux. It has been tested and runs smoothly on all the popular browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Edge and Chromium.

Are there any restrictions on the number of videos I can download?

No, there are no restrictions at all on how many reels you can download. StoriesIG places no daily or total limit on downloads, so you are free to save as many Instagram reels and videos as you want, one after another, completely free of charge and without ever hitting a cap or being asked to sign up.

Can I download Reels videos from any Instagram user?

Yes, you can download reels from any public Instagram account using StoriesIG. As long as the profile is public and the reel is visible without logging in, you can copy its link and save the video. The only exception is private accounts, whose content is protected by Instagram and cannot be accessed by StoriesIG or any other downloader.

Can I download Instagram Reels without a watermark?

Yes. StoriesIG saves every reel in its original, clean form, with no watermark, username or logo added on top of the video. Unlike screen recordings or some other downloaders, nothing is stamped across the frame, so you get the same quality that plays on Instagram and a professional-looking file you can rewatch or keep offline without any badge spoiling the picture.

Do downloaded Instagram Reels include the audio?

Yes, every reel is downloaded together with its original audio. The background music, the creator's voice-over and any sound effects are all saved exactly as they play on Instagram, with no separate step and no loss of sound quality. The video and audio arrive as a single ready-to-play MP4, so your saved reel is complete and you can watch it with full sound straight away.

Do I need to log in or install an app to download reels?

No. StoriesIG runs entirely in your web browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create. You never enter your Instagram username, password or any personal details, and we do not store the reels you download — each file is fetched in real time and delivered directly to your device. That keeps the whole process fast, safe and completely anonymous.

Can I download reels from a private Instagram account?

No. StoriesIG can only download reels from public Instagram accounts. If a profile is set to private, its posts are protected by Instagram and cannot be accessed by any downloader, including ours. To save a reel, make sure the account that posted it is public and that the reel can be viewed without logging in; if it can, simply copy its link and paste it above.

Where are my downloaded Instagram reels saved?

It depends on the device you are using. On Android, downloaded reels usually appear in your Gallery or in the Downloads folder. On an iPhone or iPad, tap Share after the download and choose Save Video to add the reel to your Camera Roll. On a Windows PC or a Mac, the file is saved to your browser's default Downloads folder, unless you have chosen another location for downloads.

Why is my Instagram reels download not working?

The most common reason is that the reel comes from a private account, which cannot be downloaded. Otherwise, check that you copied the complete reel link, that the reel has not been deleted or made private, and that your internet connection is stable. Refreshing this page and pasting the link again fixes most problems; if the download still fails, the reel may simply no longer be available on Instagram.

Can I download Instagram Reels for a WhatsApp status?

Yes. Download the reel as an MP4 with StoriesIG, then open WhatsApp, tap Status, add the saved video and post it. Because reels are downloaded without a watermark and with their original audio, your WhatsApp status looks clean and plays with full sound, just like the original reel on Instagram.

Can I watch downloaded Instagram reels offline?

Yes. Once a reel is saved to your device, you can watch it any number of times without an internet connection, so you never have to stream it again or use extra mobile data. This makes downloading reels a simple way to keep the clips you love ready to play anywhere — on a commute, while travelling, or whenever you have no signal.
