How to Download Instagram Reels and MP4 Videos
Save Instagram Reels and video posts as HD MP4 files — no login, no app, no watermark. Just paste the link into xi.
Download in 4 steps
- Copy the link. Open the Reel or video in the Instagram app, tap the Share icon (paper plane), then tap Copy Link. On desktop, copy the URL from the address bar.
- Paste it into xi. Go to apiproai.com and paste the link into the input box.
- Click Download. xi fetches the video in seconds and shows a download button with the post's title.
- Save the MP4. Tap download and the file saves to your device — ready to watch offline or edit.
Reels, posts, and more
Instagram never built a download button, so Reels disappear into the feed the moment you scroll past. xi covers the formats people actually want to keep: Reels, standard video posts, and longer IGTV-style uploads — all from public accounts, all as clean MP4 files with no login required on your end.
Creators use it to back up their own Reels before a rebrand. Editors use it to pull reference clips. Everyone else just wants to keep a funny video without screen-recording it in terrible quality. Whatever the reason, the process is the same: link in, MP4 out.
As always, respect the creator: keep downloads for personal use and don't repost someone else's work as your own.
