How ReelGrabber Works

ReelGrabber is an open-source CLI tool that downloads Instagram Reels from any public creator and converts them into offline MP3 podcast albums. It uses your existing Firefox or Chrome browser session — no API keys, no Instagram login required separately.

The tool extracts the original AAC audio stream directly from Instagram's CDN, preserving 100% of the original audio quality with zero re-compression. ID3v2 tags (artist, album, cover art, track number) are automatically embedded so your files appear perfectly in Apple Music, VLC, or any podcast app.

Everything runs locally on your machine — macOS, Linux, or Windows. No data is sent to any server. No cloud dependency. Just a fast Python script that gets out of your way.

Zero friction. Total value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ReelGrabber free?
Yes. The FREE tier lets you download the last 15 reels from 1 creator and build a merged podcast file. PRO ($5 lifetime) unlocks unlimited creators, unlimited reels, split album mode, and custom cover art.
Does ReelGrabber work on macOS, Linux, and Windows?
Yes. ReelGrabber runs on all three platforms. You need Python 3.10+, ffmpeg, yt-dlp, and Firefox or Chrome installed. Setup takes under 10 minutes.
Do I need an Instagram account?
Only for private profiles. For public creators, ReelGrabber works without any login by importing your existing browser session automatically.
Is it legal to download Instagram Reels?
ReelGrabber is for personal, offline use only — like saving a webpage for later. It's your personal audio library, not for redistribution. Same model as yt-dlp, Downie, or Permute.
Will Instagram ban my account?
ReelGrabber uses your existing browser session and human-like behavior. It's no different from manually browsing Instagram. Used normally, the risk is minimal.
What audio quality does ReelGrabber produce?
