- Step 4

Open Google Photos or your gallery app: the Reel is there, ready to watch or share.
Why not a downloader app?
Many Reel downloader apps on the Play Store ask you to sign in with Instagram or are full of intrusive ads. FetchBolt runs in the browser and never asks for your Instagram password.
What can and can’t be downloaded
Public Reels and video posts work, including carousels with several clips. Stories and private accounts need you to be signed in to Instagram, so they can’t be downloaded.
The tool for the job
Everything above uses the Instagram Reels Downloader. Vertical MP4 in the quality it was uploaded in, usually 1080p, plus the audio as MP3.
Questions
Will the Reel keep its music?
Yes. The MP4 includes the audio exactly as it plays in Instagram.
Where is the file saved?
In the Downloads folder. Gallery apps pick it up automatically.
Can I save only the audio?
Yes, with the Instagram to MP3 page.
