Instagram Reels & Posts Downloader — turn any reel or post link into a direct download link

Paste an Instagram reel or video post link and get a direct MP4 download link in seconds — plus the caption, cover image, and engagement stats.

What you can do

• Get a direct, ready-to-use MP4 link for any public reel
• Download reels in bulk — paste as many links as you want
• Grab the cover image, caption, author, likes, and comments along with the video

How to use it

1. Paste one or more reel links (post and share links work too).
2. Click Start.
3. Open the download link, or export everything as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

What you get

One row per link:

Use it as an API

Prefer instant responses over runs? The actor also works in Standby mode — call it like a regular API and get the result back in the same request:

GET https://<your-standby-url>/?urls=https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFIWSVoy1UQ/

Or send a batch:

POST https://<your-standby-url>/
{"urls": ["https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFIWSVoy1UQ/", "https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHGk1Cux33S/"]}

Both return the same results as a run, as JSON, up to 20 links per request.

Pricing

You pay only for the results you get — no subscriptions, no surprises.

FAQ

Do I need an Instagram account? No. Just paste the link and start.

Which links work? Reel links, regular post links with video, and share links from the app. Works best with public accounts.

How fast is it? A link resolves in about a second.
