Is there a limit to how many Reels I can download?

There's no limit on our end. You can download as many Reels as you need, one at a time. Each download takes just a few seconds.

Can I download all Reels from a specific account at once?

Currently, you'll need to copy each Reel link individually. Instagram doesn't provide a public API for bulk access, but the process is fast once you have the links collected.

How much storage space do downloaded Reels take?

A typical 30-second Reel in 1080p is about 5–10 MB. So 100 Reels would use roughly 500 MB to 1 GB of storage.

What's the fastest way to collect multiple Reel links?

Use Instagram on desktop. Right-click each Reel, select "Copy Link," and paste into a text file. This is much faster than using the mobile share menu repeatedly.

Can I download Reels from private accounts?

Only if you have access to the Reel URL. Instagram's privacy settings may prevent access to content from private accounts you don't follow.

Is there a paid version that allows true batch downloads?

Not currently. ReelTools processes one Reel at a time to stay reliable and free. The workflow is fast enough that 10 Reels takes only a couple of minutes.

Can I do this from my phone or do I need a desktop?

Both work great. On desktop, right-clicking to copy links is faster for collecting many URLs. On mobile, each download saves directly to your camera roll.

How do I keep track of which Reels I've already downloaded?

Keep a simple text file or notes app list of URLs you've downloaded. Or name your saved files descriptively so you can tell at a glance what's in your collection.
