What is the difference between this and the Instagram page?

This page is focused on Reels: vertical 9:16 video, Reels-specific link formats, and guidance on the licensed audio that Reels commonly use. The Instagram page covers ordinary feed video posts.

Can I download just the audio from a Reel?

Where a Reel can be processed at all, an audio-only option may appear. Be aware that music supplied by Instagram's library is licensed for use within Instagram and generally may not be redistributed.

Can I download a Reel from a private account?

No. Reels from private accounts require an authorised session and are never accessible.

Do you store the videos I download?

No. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically once the download link expires, normally within 15 to 30 minutes. Nothing is kept in a permanent library.

Reels are vertical by default

Reels are usually 1080 × 1920 at 9:16. If you plan to reuse a Reel on a landscape platform, download the original and crop it afterwards rather than converting to a wider frame, which would add bars or cut the subject.

Audio in Reels

Many Reels use licensed audio supplied by Instagram's music library. That audio is licensed for use inside Instagram, not for redistribution — extracting it for another platform is usually not permitted, even when the video itself is public.

Reel links versus post links

A Reel link contains /reel/ while a normal video post contains /p/. Both are analysed the same way, so either format is accepted here.
