Instagram Reel Downloader

How to download Instagram Reels

Reels are everywhere on Instagram now. They're short, they autoplay, and sometimes you find one you want to keep. GetIGVideo lets you download any Instagram Reel to your device as an MP4 file. Copy the link, paste it here, and you've got the video saved locally.

Getting the Reel link

This trips people up more than anything else. Open the Reel in the Instagram app, tap the share button (the paper airplane icon), and select "Copy Link." If you're on the web version, the URL in your browser bar works too. Either way, you need a URL that looks something like instagram.com/reel/ABC123.

What quality do you get?

Instagram stores Reels at up to 1080x1920 resolution. That's full HD in vertical format. Our Instagram Reel downloader pulls the highest quality version available. Most Reels will download at 720p or 1080p depending on what the creator uploaded. Some older Reels or ones uploaded from low-end phones might be lower resolution, but that's on the source file, not the tool.

Works on every device

The downloader runs in your browser. No app to install. On iPhone, the video saves to your Photos or Files app. Android puts it in Downloads. Desktop browsers save to your default downloads folder. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, whatever you're using, it works.

Common reasons people download Reels

• Saving recipes or tutorials to follow later offline
• Keeping a backup of Reels you posted to your own account
• Sharing a funny Reel with someone who doesn't have Instagram
• Collecting reference material for creative projects

Step-by-step process

1. Open the Reel you want in Instagram
2. Tap share and copy the link
3. Come back here and paste the link in the input box
4. Hit the download button
5. Save the MP4 file to your device

A note on copyright

Downloading Reels for personal use is common and generally fine. If you plan to repost the video or use it commercially, you need permission from whoever made it. Don't pass off someone else's work as your own.
