Instagram Reels downloader
Save a public Reel from a /reel/ or /reels/ share link without opening the Instagram app.
Free online tool for public Reels, posts, and TV
Paste a public Instagram Reel, post, carousel, or TV link and download the MP4 Instagram exposes. No login, no app, and no desktop installer—use it in a phone or computer browser.
Works with public Instagram links in /reel/, /reels/, /p/, and /tv/ formats when Instagram exposes a video.
Complete the security check below before downloading.
Public Instagram links only. We do not ask for Instagram login details or store video files.
What it does
Use this free Instagram video downloader to save one public video at a time: Reels, feed posts, carousel videos, and IGTV or TV clips, as the MP4 Instagram already publishes.

Save a public Reel from a /reel/ or /reels/ share link without opening the Instagram app.
Download the video on a public /p/ post when Instagram publishes a playable file.
Resolve longer public /tv/ videos within the 500 MB and 60-minute online limits.
Public-link downloads never ask for your Instagram password, 2FA code, or session cookie.
You get the file Instagram exposes for that URL. The tool does not upscale it or strip a watermark.
Paste the link in Safari, Chrome, or another browser. The MP4 saves to your normal downloads folder.
URL formats
Copy the share URL from a public Reel, feed post, or TV item. Profile pages, Stories, and Explore are not download targets.
Standard Reel URLs such as instagram.com/reel/ABC123xyz/ when the Reel is public.
Alternate Reels path formats that still point at a single public Reel ID.
Classic feed posts under /p/ when the post includes a video Instagram exposes publicly.
Longer TV/IGTV videos shared with a /tv/ URL, within the online size and duration limits.
Profile pages, Stories, Explore, hashtag pages, and private or restricted posts cannot be resolved by this tool.
Save the right file
Each Instagram URL type needs a different check before you paste it. These are the downloads this tool can actually complete.
Open the Reel, tap Share, then Copy link. A working Reel URL contains /reel/ or /reels/ plus the Reel ID, such as instagram.com/reel/ABC123xyz/. Paste that link in the downloader above. Public Reels return the MP4 Instagram exposes for that ID. A profile URL, Explore page, or Story is not a Reel link and will not download.
Feed videos use /p/ links, such as instagram.com/p/ABC123xyz/. Copy that post URL from Share or from the browser address bar. Do not paste the profile URL (instagram.com/username). The post must include a video. A photo-only post has no file to save, so the tool stops instead of returning an empty download.
A carousel can mix photos and videos under one /p/ link. This downloader saves the public video Instagram exposes for that post. It does not zip every slide or turn still photos into a video. If every slide is a photo, the download fails because Instagram did not attach a video file.
Longer public videos shared with a /tv/ URL can be saved when Instagram still exposes the file and the video stays under 500 MB and 60 minutes. Copy the /tv/ link itself. A channel or profile page is not a single-video download.
Four steps from a public share link to an MP4 on your device. Only save media you have permission to keep.

Open the public Reel, post, or TV item and copy a URL that includes /reel/, /reels/, /p/, or /tv/.
Paste the link above. You do not need an Instagram account, app, or browser extension for public saves.
The tool checks public Instagram data and shows a preview, duration, and download button when a video is available.
Save the available file to your device. If Instagram does not expose a video, try a different public media URL.
If the Reel, post, or TV item is public, paste the link and complete the security check when shown. Private accounts stay out of reach on purpose.
The MP4 is the public file Instagram attaches to that Reel, post, carousel, or TV URL. Searches for an HD or no-watermark Instagram downloader usually expect a hidden higher file. This tool does not upscale video or remove a watermark.

The same paste-and-download flow works in a mobile or desktop browser. Instagram Stories and videos that only play inside the app are still unsupported.
Common blocks
Most failures are Instagram access or URL issues—not a broken paste field. Check these before retrying.
Media that requires a follow, login, or age gate is not exposed to public-link downloaders.
Profile, Stories, Explore, and hashtag URLs are not valid targets. Use a single /reel/, /reels/, /p/, or /tv/ link.
A public /p/ post can be photo-only. If there is no video asset, the tool correctly returns no downloadable file.
Too many requests from one connection can trigger a temporary block. Wait a few minutes and try again.
Online downloads stop above 500 MB or 60 minutes. Shorter public Reels and posts are the best fit.
