How to Download Instagram Reels

Instagram has no save button for other people's reels. Here's how to download any public reel in full HD — with its audio, no watermark — in a few seconds, on any device.

To download an Instagram reel, copy the reel's link (tap the ⋯ menu → Copy link), paste it into SaveJet, and tap Download. The reel saves as a full-resolution MP4 with its original sound and no watermark — free, with no app or login, on iPhone, Android, or computer.

Step by step

  1. Copy the reel link. Open the reel in the Instagram app or web, tap the ⋯ (share) icon, and choose Copy link. On desktop, copy the URL from the address bar.
  2. Paste it into SaveJet. Paste the link into the box at the top of the reels downloader. SaveJet detects the reel automatically.
  3. Copying an Instagram link — tap the three-dots (⋯) menu on a post, reel, or story and choose Copy Link
    On Instagram, open the ⋯ menu (or share icon) and tap Copy Link — it works on posts, reels, stories, and profiles.
  4. Download in HD. Tap Download to save the reel as an MP4 with sound, or choose MP3 to keep just the audio.

Can you download Instagram reels with sound?
