Reels is an Instagram feature that allows you to create short, entertaining videos to share with your friends, family, and followers. It supports videos up to 60 seconds and various editing tools that allows you to tweak audio, add special effects, and a lot more. The feature has been quite a hit, ever since it made its debut on the Facebook-owned photo-sharing app. However, it has one shortcoming. You can’t download Instagram Reels for offline view or share it with others who aren’t on the platform officially. For that, you will have to seek help from third-party apps/ websites, which is exactly what we are going to discuss here. So without any further ado, let’s take a look at how you can download Instagram Reels video on your mobile phone and laptop.
What is Instagram Reels?
Reels is an Instagram feature that allows users to make TikTok-like short videos with dubbed dialogues and songs. The videos appear on your timeline, and unlike Instagram Stories, don’t disappear after 24 hours. Instagram recently extended Reels support to up to 60 seconds from 30 seconds. It also allows users to add music, AR effects, timers, countdown, align, and video speed to create unique and fun short videos. Despite being a TikTok clone, Instagram Reels has gained positive responses from content creators like influencers, brands, and users.
Instagram Reels, much like regular videos and photos, can only be watched online. However, using the aforementioned tools, you can download Instagram Reels video on your mobile phone/ laptop.
