What you can save from Instagram
Anything public that plays as a video. Here is the quick list.
Reels
Any public Reel, with its original sound, as an MP4 that fits a phone screen.
Video posts
Feed posts that contain a video. Their links have /p/ in them instead of /reel/.
Reel audio
The trending sound or voice-over on its own, saved as an MP3 from the Audio tab.
Stories (not yet)
Stories and Highlights need a login and expire after a day, so they are not supported for now.
Collections are not a backup
Instagram’s Save button bookmarks a Reel inside your account. If the creator archives it, deletes it or switches to a private account, it disappears from your collection too, and you never had a file you could edit.
With PullClip you keep a real MP4. Creators use it to back up their own Reels before cleaning up a profile, and editors use it to bring a clip into CapCut, InShot or Premiere.
Links ending in ?igsh=
Links copied from the app often end in ?igsh= and a string of letters. Leave it there. PullClip reads the link either way.
Saving a Reel on Android and on iPhone
The steps differ a little, mostly in where the file ends up.
Android
Open the Reel and tap the paper-plane icon.
Choose Copy link.
Open Chrome, go to pullclipvid.com and tap Paste.
Tap Download and save. The Reel lands in Downloads, and your gallery picks it up.
Have the PullClip Android app? Tap Share in Instagram and pick PullClip to skip the copying.
iPhone
Tap the paper-plane icon under the Reel, then Copy link.
Open Safari, not the Instagram browser, and paste the link here.
Save the file. Safari puts it in the Files app.
In Files, tap the Reel, then Share and Save Video to put it in Photos.

Exactly what Instagram plays in the app, ready for editing.
Smaller copy

Quicker to send over WhatsApp or Telegram.
Sound only
MP3 · 320 or 128 kbps
For trending audio, voice-overs and short music clips.
Tag the creator
Save your own Reels, or Reels the creator is happy for you to keep. If you repost someone else’s clip, ask first and tag them. PullClip is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.
Instagram downloader questions.
A public Reel that will not load? Send us the link and we will check it.
Yes. The Reel downloads as one MP4 with its sound. If you only want the song or voice-over, use the Audio tab.
Instagram stores many Reels at 720p. PullClip always lists the best copy Instagram has, so 720p means that is the top version.
No. Private accounts and Close Friends posts need a login, and PullClip never asks for your Instagram password.
Not at the moment. They need a login, and Stories disappear after 24 hours. Reels and video posts work.
Yes. Paste the link exactly as Instagram copied it.
No. Nothing is sent to Instagram from your account, so there is no notification.
Yes. It is a standard MP4 with H.264 video and AAC sound, which every editing app opens.
Only with their permission. Ask first, tag the creator, and keep their watermark or credit in the caption.
