Open the public Reel, tap Share and choose Copy link.
Return to ig.tools, paste the URL above and select Download.
Review the Reel and save the largest available MP4 source to your device.
The downloader uses the media version Instagram provides. It does not upscale, remove existing marks or re-encode the Reel.
Many Reels are delivered as an MP4 with both video and audio. ig.tools checks the actual downloaded file for video and audio tracks rather than relying only on the page preview.
Licensed music can vary by country and by Instagram’s response to a particular network. A public Reel may therefore play with sound in one context and be delivered silently in another.
Read the focused guideAndroid browsers commonly place the MP4 in Downloads. On iPhone, Safari may open the video first; use the Share menu and choose Save Video or Save to Files when available.
If the media link has expired, return to this page and choose Refresh links before downloading again.
Read the focused guideKeep this page open while the browser fetches the MP4. A large file, a temporary CDN link or a browser download setting can prevent the save dialog from appearing immediately.
Use Open original file if your browser blocks the direct save. That opens Instagram’s source file in a new tab, where the browser or system Share menu can offer its normal save options.
