Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask about ReelGrab.
Using the site
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no limit for normal use. The site is paid for by advertising.

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Snapchat Spotlight, Pinterest, Dailymotion, Tumblr, VK, Vimeo, SoundCloud, BitChute, Bluesky, Likee, Kwai and 9GAG. Each has its own page with platform-specific tips.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. It runs in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer.
Where do my downloads go?
To your browser's download location. On iPhone, open the Downloads icon in Safari or the Files app. On Android, open Downloads.
Privacy and safety
Do you store the videos or links?
No. Files stream from the platform to your device. Links are used only to fetch the media for that request.
Is it safe?
You only receive the media file. We never ask for a password, and you should never give one to a downloader.
Which cookies do you use?
Necessary preferences on your device, Firebase Analytics cookies when analytics is enabled, and cookies set by Google when ads are shown. See the Cookie Policy for details.
Problems
Why does my link fail?
The post may be private, deleted, region-limited or the platform may be limiting requests. Open the link in a private window to confirm it is public, then retry in a minute.
Can I download private content?
No. We only support public links, and we do not support logging in to accounts.
The quality looks low.
We return the best file the platform publishes. If the original upload was low resolution, so is the download.
Rights
Am I allowed to download any video?
You are responsible for respecting copyright and platform terms. Keep downloads for personal viewing and ask the creator before reposting. See our Disclaimer.
How do I report content?
Use the DMCA page. We review valid notices promptly.
