What Instagram Reel URLs work?

Public Reel links such as instagram.com/reel/SHORTCODE/ and instagram.com/username/reel/SHORTCODE/.

Is there a watermark on downloaded Reels?

No. This Instagram Reel Downloader saves Reels as MP4 files without adding a FrontendGeek watermark.

What is the Instagram Reel size and ratio?

Reels are typically vertical 9:16 video. A common target is about 1080×1920 pixels. Keeping the clip vertical usually looks best in the Reels feed and on mobile.

Can I download private Reels?

No. Only public Reels that are accessible without logging in to Instagram can be fetched.

Can you see who reposted or shared your Instagram Reel?

Instagram does not provide a complete public list of everyone who reposted your Reel. Professional accounts can review Reel Insights for shares where available. Story shares that use Instagram’s share sticker may appear in notifications or Insights, but off-platform reposts and screenshots are not tracked.

How to see who shared your Instagram Reel?

Open Insights for the Reel (professional/creator accounts) and check shares where Instagram shows them. Native Story shares can appear in notifications or Insights. There is no full list of every private or off-platform share.

Is there any limit to download Instagram Reels?

FrontendGeek does not set a hard daily cap on how many public Instagram Reels you can download. You can fetch and save public Reels one link at a time as needed. Availability still depends on Instagram returning the public media, your connection, and fair use of the tool — private, deleted, or restricted Reels cannot be downloaded.
