Instagram has no audio export

Saving a sound inside Instagram only bookmarks it for use in your own Reels. It never gives you a file. This tool takes the audio track of the public Reel or video and converts it into a real MP3 or M4A you can play anywhere, edit or keep offline.

Reels, video posts and carousels

Reel links (/reel/), video posts (/p/) and IGTV-style long videos all work. For a carousel with several videos, the first video is used. Stories and highlights need a login, so they are not supported.

MP3 or M4A?

Instagram stores Reel audio as AAC. Choosing M4A keeps that original audio without re-encoding, while MP3 converts it for players that only accept MP3. Pick WAV if you plan to cut or mix the sound in an editor.

Original audio and licensed music

Many Reels use songs from Instagram's music library, which are licensed to Instagram, not to you. Save original voice-overs and sounds with permission, keep music for personal listening, and never repost someone else's audio as your own.

Only download content you own, that is licensed for download or that is in the public domain. See our Terms of Service.
