How to download Instagram Reels & videos
Instagram doesn't give you a save button for other people's Reels or videos. Whether you want to keep your own Reels, save inspiration for a moodboard, or archive a video before it disappears, here's how to download Instagram Reels and videos to your PC, free and in HD.
Download Instagram Reels with GrabMonkey
GrabMonkey is a free Windows app. It saves Instagram Reels, feed videos and Stories in full quality, and there's no login to deal with.
- Install GrabMonkey. Download the free app and run the installer.
- Copy the Reel or video link. Tap the ••• menu on the post and choose Copy link (or copy the URL from your browser).
- Paste it into GrabMonkey and click Download.
- Save. The video downloads to your PC in HD, named automatically.
Save every Reel from a profile
Open a profile, hit Download all, and it grabs every Reel and video from that creator at once. Handy for backing up your own account.
What about Stories and photos?
GrabMonkey focuses on video, so it saves Reels, feed videos and video Stories in the best available quality. It downloads the original file with no Instagram watermark added.
One app for every platform
The same app handles TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Douyin, RedNote, Kwai and 1,000+ other sites, so you're not juggling a separate tool for every network.
Download responsibly
Only download content you created or have permission to save, and respect other creators' rights and Instagram's terms. See our disclaimer.
