About ReelSaver
Last updated: 13 October 2026
ReelSaver (also written Reel Saver) is a free web tool and Android app for saving public Instagram Reels, videos, photos, stories and audio to your own device. You paste a link, we fetch the original file, and it downloads in the quality it was uploaded in — no account, no Instagram login and no software to install.
Why we built it
Instagram has no built-in way to keep an offline copy of a reel. Creators lose access to their own edits when they switch phones, social media managers need to archive a client's published posts, and teachers and students want to keep a clip for a lesson without relying on a connection. ReelSaver started as a small tool to solve that for ourselves and grew into the site you're on now.
What ReelSaver does
- Reels and videos — saved as MP4 in the original resolution, with sound.
- Photos and carousels — each image saved at full size, including every slide of a multi-photo post.
- Stories — public stories that are still live, saved before they disappear after 24 hours.
- Audio — just the sound of a reel as an M4A file.
Step-by-step guides for each device are on our iPhone, Android and PC pages, and our Guides cover backing up your account, reposting with credit and fixing failed downloads.
How it works
When you paste a link, our server asks Instagram for the publicly available media behind that post and streams it straight to your browser. We don't keep copies of the files, we don't need your Instagram password, and private accounts are never accessible — if you can't see a post while logged out, ReelSaver can't either. Your recent downloads list is stored only in your own browser. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Respecting creators
Content on Instagram belongs to the people who made it. ReelSaver is meant for saving your own content, content you have permission to use, and personal offline viewing. Please don't re-upload other people's work as your own or use it commercially without their consent. If you're a rights holder and believe ReelSaver is being used to infringe your work, see our DMCA & copyright policy.
