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.

Question 2

Does ReelGrabber work on macOS, Linux, and Windows?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is it legal to download Instagram Reels?

Accepted Answer

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.

What audio quality does ReelGrabber produce?

Accepted Answer

ReelGrabber performs direct stream extraction — the original AAC audio from Instagram's CDN is preserved with zero re-compression loss. You get 100% of the original quality.
