Frequently asked questions
Does the Instagram reel downloader work with all reels?+
It works with any reel from a public account. Paste a /reel/ link from the app's share sheet or your browser. Feed video posts (/p/) and IGTV (/tv/) links are supported too.
Can I download reels from private accounts?+
No. Like every Instagram reel downloader, this only works with public accounts. Reels from private or followers-only profiles cannot be fetched.
What quality and resolution do I get?+
You get HD quality, up to the reel's original upload resolution. The tool picks the highest-quality MP4 version Instagram serves — no re-encoding, no quality loss.
Can I download my own Instagram reels?+
Yes, as long as your account is public. Paste the reel link and download the MP4 just like any other reel — useful for backing up your content or repurposing it.
Is the Instagram reel downloader free?+
Yes. The first three downloads are free with no account needed. After that, sign up free and downloads run on your own Scavio credits.
Does the download include the audio?+
Yes. The MP4 file includes the full audio track exactly as it plays in the reel — original sound, music, voiceovers, everything.
What about carousel reels or photo posts?+
For a carousel that contains a video slide, the tool downloads the video. Photo-only posts and photo carousels have no video to download.
Can I use this in my own code?+
Yes. This tool runs on the Scavio Instagram API. The same POST /api/v1/instagram/post endpoint returns the reel data programmatically for pipelines and agents.
