Paste a reel link and save the MP4 exactly as it was uploaded, with the music or voice-over still in it.

## How it works

1. **Copy the reel link**: Tap the paper-plane icon under the reel, then *Copy link*.
2. **Paste it above**: We fetch the reel and show the file sizes available.
3. **Save the MP4**: Tap download. The reel keeps its sound and its original resolution.

## Small tool, no catches

- **Sound included**: Music and voice-overs stay in the file. Nothing is muted or trimmed.
- **Full resolution**: Reels download at the size they were uploaded, in the vertical 9:16 format.
- **Nothing stamped on it**: No logo, no watermark, no outro. What Instagram serves is what you get.
- **Any device**: Works in Safari, Chrome and every modern browser, on phones and computers.

## How to download Instagram Reels on iPhone

Open the reel, tap the paper-plane icon and choose *Copy link*. Paste it here in Safari and tap the download button. The reel is saved to Files → Downloads; open it, tap Share and choose *Save Video* to put it in your camera roll.

## How to download Instagram Reels on Android

Copy the reel link in the Instagram app, paste it here in Chrome and tap download. The MP4 appears in your gallery or Google Photos a moment later.

## Saving a reel vs. downloading it

The bookmark icon in Instagram only saves a reel inside your account, and it disappears if the creator deletes it. Downloading keeps a real MP4 on your device that you can watch offline, trim or back up.

## Reels with licensed music

Reels keep their soundtrack when you download them here. Licensed music is licensed to Instagram, not to you: fine for watching offline, not for re-uploading elsewhere. If you want someone's reel on your profile, Instagram's *Remix* is the polite route, or ask the creator and tag them.
