Download an Instagram reel as a vertical MP4
A reel is one short vertical clip, not a feed of them. This page takes a single reel link and returns that clip, at the largest tier the reel exposes, with nothing added on top and no second file to combine.
- No sign-up
- No watermark
- No daily limit
How it works
- 01
Copy the reel link, not the profile
A reel URL, a reels tab URL or the share-sheet link all resolve to one clip. A profile or explore link does not, because there is nothing single to return for a page listing many reels, and the parser rejects it instead of picking one at random.
- 02
Confirm the vertical tier
Reels are portrait, and the measured ladder runs 1080×1920, 720×1280, 540×960 and 360×640. Whichever of those the reel actually carries is the one you get, and the page does not pad a small upload up to full height to look better.
- 03
Save the single file
One link yields one MP4. There is no stitching across a series and no partial playlist, so a download either completes as one vertical file or fails with a stated reason. The file arrives through the browser and is not kept on the server.

Questions about Instagram
Can I download every reel from an account at once?
No. This page takes one reel per request and has no profile reader behind it, so an account URL cannot be expanded into a list. Saving a series means repeating the paste for each reel, subject to the two concurrent jobs and one per IP rule.
Why is my reel only 540×960?
That is the tier this reel carries. Height tiers vary with how the creator uploaded the clip, and the parser reports the ladder for the item you pasted rather than the best case across Instagram. Nothing is upscaled to fill a taller frame.
Does the MP4 include the reel's audio?
Yes. The video file carries the reel's own sound, so a single download is complete for most purposes. The separate MP3 entry appears only when the reel has an audio track, and reels published silent are labelled rather than guessed at.
Why does my reel show no audio?
The reel was published silent. Muted uploads, some screen recordings and clips where the creator removed the track all land here, and a converter cannot create sound the file does not contain, so no MP3 entry is offered for that item.
Is the creator handle burned into the file?
We add nothing, so the file is the reel's own video stream as served. If that stream already contains text or a handle it stays exactly as delivered, and if it does not, none appears. No overlay is inserted by this page at any stage.
Can I save a reel from a private account?
No. Reels from private accounts are served only to approved followers, and the parse runs anonymously. A public reel from the same creator works, so the usual fix is a public account rather than a different link format or a retry.
Does the share-sheet reel link work?
Yes. The share link is expanded on the server, so pasting from the phone is enough and there is no need to open a browser and build a canonical URL first. A shared link to a deleted or private reel fails like any other dead link.
How fast is a reel download?
Reels are short and small, so the file usually moves in seconds once parsing finishes. Speed is bounded by throughput rather than file size: two jobs run at once across the service and one per IP, so a queue of links is answered in pairs.
Reels are short enough that saving one should feel like copying a link, and the only real variables are access and the tier the creator uploaded. This page takes one reel at a time on purpose, states the portrait ladder plainly, and leaves the file untouched, so what you keep is the clip as it was published.
