About ReelExport

What ReelExport is

ReelExport is a free, browser-based tool for saving videos, photos, and audio that you have the right to keep — from Instagram Reels and Stories to TikTok clips, Facebook videos, Reddit posts, and more than a dozen other social platforms. You paste a public link, we resolve the original media file, and you download it in full quality straight to your device. No account, no app install on the web, and no watermark added by us.

Saving is where ReelExport starts. Once you have a clip — one you downloaded or one of your own — you can open it in the ReelExport studio to cut it, add filters, text and music, start from a template or generate auto-captions, and then post it to your own Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn accounts.

We built ReelExport for a simple, everyday need: people constantly find content they want to keep for later — a recipe reel, a workout clip, a family video a relative posted, a sound they want offline — and the platforms themselves rarely make it easy to save the original file. Screen recording loses quality and adds clutter; sketchy tools bury you in pop-ups. We wanted a clean, fast, honest alternative.

Who makes it

ReelExport is built and maintained by MobileByteSensei, a small independent software team. We also publish the companion ReelExport app on Google Play (with an iOS beta on TestFlight), which brings the same saving experience to your phone with an in-app browser, a download manager, and offline access to your saved media. The website and the app share the same philosophy: keep it simple, keep it fast, and respect the people using it.

We are reachable directly — every message to our team is read by a person, not a ticket bot. You can find our contact details on the Contact and Support pages.

How it works

When you paste a link, ReelExport looks up the public media that link points to and returns the download options the source makes available — for example, HD or SD for a Facebook video, or every photo inside an Instagram carousel. We fetch the original file, which is why there is no re-encoding and no added watermark or overlay. You choose the quality and format you want, and the file saves locally. Nothing is uploaded to us, and we do not keep copies of the media you download.

Because we work only with public content, links that require a login — private accounts, friends-only posts, subscriber-only videos — cannot be downloaded. That is by design.

What we support

The tool works across the platforms people ask about most: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X (Twitter), Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Snapchat Spotlight, Dailymotion, Threads, Tumblr, VK, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and more. Each platform has its own how-to guide and FAQ on its dedicated page, plus longer tutorials in our Guides section.

Our stance on content and creators

We believe tools like this should be used responsibly. ReelExport is intended for saving content you own, content you have permission to use, or content that is free to reuse — for example, your own posts, media a friend or family member shared with you, or public-domain and Creative Commons material. It is not a tool for redistributing other people's work as your own or for infringing anyone's copyright. We deliberately do not support downloading from YouTube, and we ask everyone using the site to respect creators' rights and each platform's terms. You can read the full terms on our Terms page.

Why it's free

ReelExport is supported by the people who choose ReelExport Pro or buy a credit pack for the studio. That lets us keep the downloader completely free, with no sign-up and no daily limits, and give every free account 5 full edits a month, while still funding the servers and ongoing work that keep it reliable. If you find it useful, the best way to support us is to try Pro, grab the app, or simply tell a friend.

Privacy first

We keep data collection to a minimum, we don't require an account, and we don't sell personal information. The specifics — what is and isn't collected, cookies, and connected accounts — are laid out plainly in our Privacy Policy.

Thanks for using ReelExport. If something's broken or you have an idea, we genuinely want to hear it — get in touch.
