How to Use QuickReel: A Quick Tutorial

QuickReel is a small tool with one job: save public Instagram Reels, videos and photos. Here is everything you need to know.

Short answer: Copy the link of a public Instagram Reel, video or photo, paste it into QuickReel, click Find media, and download the result. It is free, needs no login, and works in any browser.

The basic steps

  1. Copy the link of a public post. Here is how.
  2. Paste it into the box on the QuickReel home page.
  3. Click Find media. You will see a preview in a few seconds.
  4. Click Download to save the file.

Which page to use

  • Reels: for Instagram Reels.
  • Videos: for ordinary video posts.
  • Photos: for pictures and multi-photo posts.

The tools work the same way, so if you paste into the wrong one, the link will usually still work.

Install QuickReel as an app

You can add QuickReel to your phone's home screen so it opens like an app. On Android and computers, use the Install app button in the header when it appears. On iPhone, tap Share in Safari, then Add to Home Screen.
