FAQ
Supported URLs FAQ
Which tool should I use for a normal Instagram post?
Use the Post Downloader if you are not sure what the post contains. If you know it is a single photo, a video or a carousel, the matching tool gives you the result directly.
Do short links work?
Most tools accept the short links the apps create, such as vm.tiktok.com, fb.watch and pin.it. If a short link fails, open it in your browser and copy the full address instead.
Can I use a link from a private account?
No. ReelDown only works with public content. Links to private accounts, friends-only posts or closed groups cannot be downloaded.
Why does my link show an error?
The most common causes are using a different tool than the link type, a private or deleted post, or an expired Story. Check the link type above and try the matching tool.
Does ReelDown support YouTube?
No. ReelDown focuses on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Pinterest.
