To save an Instagram Reel using any downloader tool, you need the Reel's URL first. Here's how to copy it on every platform — iPhone, Android, and PC — in 2026.
What Does an Instagram Reel URL Look Like?
- https://www.instagram.com/reel/ABC123xyz/
- https://www.instagram.com/p/ABC123xyz/ (older format — both work)
The short code (ABC123xyz) uniquely identifies each Reel.
Method 1: Copy Instagram Reel URL on iPhone
From the Instagram app: 1. Open Instagram and find the Reel you want 2. Tap the Share button (the paper airplane icon below the Reel) 3. Tap "Copy link" from the share sheet
Or alternatively: 1. Tap the three-dot menu (···) at the bottom of the Reel 2. Tap "Copy link"
The URL is now in your clipboard.
If the Reel is in your Feed: 1. Tap the three-dot menu (···) at the top-right of the post 2. Tap "Copy link"
Method 2: Copy Instagram Reel URL on Android
The process is identical to iPhone: 1. Open the Reel in Instagram 2. Tap the Share icon (paper airplane) or three-dot menu (···) 3. Tap "Copy link"
The URL is copied to your Android clipboard.
Method 3: Copy Instagram Reel URL on PC
From instagram.com: 1. Go to instagram.com in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge 2. Find the Reel (browse the Reels tab or visit a profile) 3. Click on the Reel to open it in full view 4. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
The URL in the address bar is the direct Reel URL.
Alternative: Click the three-dot menu (···) on the Reel → "Copy link"
Method 4: Copy URL from an Instagram Story or Direct Message
If someone shared a Reel in their Story or DM: 1. Tap the Reel in the Story/DM to open it 2. Tap the three-dot menu (···) 3. Tap "Copy link"
What to Do After Copying the URL
Once you have the Instagram Reel link: 1. Open your browser and go to our Instagram Reels Saver 2. Paste the URL (long-press → Paste on mobile, Ctrl+V on PC) 3. Tap Save 4. Choose quality (HD 1080p recommended) and download
Troubleshooting: "Copy link" Not Available
- The account may have disabled sharing for their Reels
- The post may be from a private account
- Try tapping the three-dot menu directly instead of the share button
Reel URLs vs. Regular Post URLs
- /reel/CODE — Standard Reel URL
- /p/CODE — Older post URL format (also works for Reels)
Both formats work identically with indirici.net.
Conclusion
Copying an Instagram Reel URL takes just 2-3 taps: Share → Copy link (or three-dot menu → Copy link). Works on iPhone, Android, and PC browsers. With the URL copied, paste it into indirici.net to save the Reel without watermark in HD quality.
