How to Download Instagram Reels

Downloading Instagram reels directly from the app is not allowed by Instagram. However, there are several alternative ways to download reels to your device. Below are some methods to download Instagram reels using third-party tools or apps:

1. Downloading Using Online Websites:

There are several websites that allow you to download Instagram reels by simply copying and pasting the reel URL. Here’s how you can do it:

Steps:

• Open Instagram and find the reel you want to download.
• Copy the URL of the reel: Tap the three dots (•••) on the post and select “Copy Link”.
• Visit any of the following sites:
  • InstaSave.io (link)
  • InstaDownloader.co (link)
  • SaveFrom.net (link)
• Paste the reel link into the input box on the website and click “Download”.

2. Downloading Using Apps:

There are also mobile apps available that help you download Instagram reels directly. Here are some options:

For Android:

3. Download Using Screen Recording:

If you want to avoid third-party tools or websites, you can use a built-in screen recording feature on your device to capture the Instagram reel.

Steps:

• iOS: Open Settings > Control Center > Add Screen Recording. Then, go to the reel on Instagram, start the screen recording, and stop it when done.
• Android: Use the built-in screen recorder (available on most Android devices) or download a screen recording app like AZ Screen Recorder from the Google Play Store.

After recording, you can trim the video using the phone’s video editor to save the reel as a clip.
