Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution will the downloaded Reel be?

ReelTools fetches the highest resolution Instagram makes available - usually 1080x1920 for vertical Reels. The exact resolution depends on what the creator uploaded.

Why is screen recording worse than downloading?

Screen recording captures at your screen's display resolution and adds compression. Downloading fetches the original source file with no quality loss.

Do other downloaders compress the video?

Many do, either to save bandwidth or to process the file faster. ReelTools delivers the raw file from Instagram's CDN without re-encoding.

Can I download 4K Reels?

Instagram currently caps uploads at 1080p, so that's the maximum you'll get. ReelTools always delivers the highest available resolution.

Is the audio also full quality?

Yes. The audio track is included at the same bitrate Instagram stores - typically 128 kbps AAC.
