How do I download an Instagram reel as MP4?
Paste the link of any public Instagram reel or video post and this tool fetches it as an MP4 you can save, or extracts just the audio as a WAV file. It is free, needs no signup, and adds no watermark.
Creators use it to pull their own published reels back off Instagram for re-editing, captioning, or reposting to TikTok and YouTube Shorts. The WAV export is handy when you only need the voiceover or music bed, for example to transcribe or caption it. Download only content you have the right to use.

Fetch the video

Download MP4 or WAV
