How to Download Instagram Reels as MP4

Updated 2026-09-25

Instagram has no built-in way to download Reels. With the IG/FB Reels downloader on ClipKeep, paste a Reel link and you get the original MP4 file. No app to install and no sign-in.

Step 1: Copy the Reel link

Open Instagram, find the Reel, tap Share (the paper-plane icon) and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the address from the browser’s address bar; it usually looks like instagram.com/reel/…

Step 2: Paste it into ClipKeep and fetch

Open the IG/FB Reels downloader, paste the link and press Fetch. In a few seconds you see the thumbnail, the author and a “Download video” button; tap the thumbnail to preview it first (muted by default).

Step 3: Download the video

Press “Download video” and the MP4 is saved to your phone or computer. On iPhone it is usually in the Files app under Downloads; on Android in the Downloads folder.

Need many at once?

After signing in with Google you can use Batch download and paste up to 20 links at a time (Instagram and Facebook links can be mixed). Finished items stay in “Recent” on the right, and you can tick several and pack them into one zip.

Good to know

Only public Reels can be downloaded; private accounts, deleted posts and anything that needs an Instagram login cannot be parsed.
Stories are not supported at the moment.
Each fetch counts as 1 use, shared with TikTok and Douyin; the free plan has 20 a day, the plans give more.
Only download your own content or content you have permission to use, and follow your local copyright law. ClipKeep is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta and does not store videos.

FAQ

Do I need to sign in to download Instagram Reels?

No. Paste the link and fetch. Signing in with Google is only needed for Batch download and to keep your “Recent” history.

Do downloaded Reels have a watermark?

ClipKeep gives you the original file from Instagram and does not add a watermark.

Can I download just the music of a Reel?

Not at the moment. This page only offers the MP4 video, not a separate MP3.
