Read moreFrequently Asked Questions
Can I download Reels on iPad without the Instagram app?
Yes! You can copy the Reel link from Instagram's web version in Safari, or from the app. Either way, ReelTools handles the download.
Does it work on iPad Air and iPad Mini?
ReelTools works on every iPad model - iPad, iPad Air, iPad Mini, and iPad Pro. Any model running iPadOS 14 or later is supported.
Can I use downloaded Reels in iMovie on iPad?
Yes! Once saved to your Photos library, the video is available in iMovie, LumaFusion, CapCut, or any other iPad video editor.
Why does Safari show "Downloads" instead of saving directly?
Safari downloads files to its Downloads manager. Tap the blue download arrow in Safari's toolbar, then tap the file to save it to Photos or Files.
Is the download quality the same as the original Reel?
Yes, ReelTools downloads the highest quality version available - the same resolution the creator uploaded.
Why can't I just save Reels from the Instagram app on my iPad?
Instagram's iPad app doesn't include a download button for other users' Reels. ReelTools lets you copy the link, paste it in Safari, and save the video to Photos or Files.
Can I use a downloaded Reel in a Keynote or Pages presentation on iPad?
Yes. Once the video is saved to your Photos or Files app, you can insert it directly into Keynote, Pages, or any other iPad app that supports video.
Will the Reel download in portrait or landscape on iPad?
The video downloads in its original orientation—most Reels are vertical (portrait). Your iPad will play it in the correct aspect ratio regardless of how you hold the device.
