How to Download the Music or Audio From an Instagram Reel
To download the music or audio from an Instagram Reel, copy the Reel link (three dots ⋯ → Copy link), paste it into PullVid's Instagram to MP3 converter, and download the MP3 file. You get just the Reel's sound — the song, the original audio, or the voice — without the video, ready to listen to offline. There's nothing to install and no login needed.
Why pull just the audio from a Reel?
Many Reels go viral for their sound: a song, an original audio that people reuse, a podcast clip, or a voice. If what interests you is that audio and not the picture, downloading it as MP3 lets you listen to it on your phone offline, add it to a playlist, or reuse it. Remember that the music may be copyrighted: download it for personal use, not to redistribute it.
How to download a Reel's audio step by step
- Open the Reel in the Instagram app or browser. The account must be public.
- Copy the link: tap the three dots (⋯) on the Reel and choose Copy link.
- Paste the link into PullVid's Instagram to MP3 converter.
- Choose MP3 and tap Download. PullVid extracts the audio track from the Reel and delivers it as an MP3 file.
The process is the same on mobile and on a computer. On mobile, the MP3 saves to your Downloads folder (or the Files app on iPhone).
What if I want the full video, not just the audio?
If what you want is the whole Reel with picture and sound, use the regular Instagram downloader instead of the MP3 converter: you get the full MP4. There's a guide in downloading Instagram Reels without an app.
Audio quality
The MP3 you get has the audio quality as Instagram serves it for that Reel. It's more than enough for listening on your phone or in the car. If you're interested in the topic of audio quality and formats, we expand on it in the guide to high-quality audio at 320 kbps.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pull the song from an Instagram Reel?
Copy the Reel link (three dots ⋯ → Copy link) and paste it into PullVid's Instagram to MP3 converter. Choose MP3 and download: you get just the Reel's audio, without the video. The account must be public.
Does it download only the audio or the video too?
With the MP3 converter you get only the audio (the Reel's sound track). If you want the full video with picture, use the regular Instagram downloader, which gives you the MP4.
Can I use the downloaded song in my own videos?
The MP3 is for personal use. The music in a Reel is usually copyrighted by the artist or the creator of the original audio, so reusing it in public or monetized content may infringe those rights. Download it to listen to, not to redistribute.
Does it work with private accounts?
No. Just like with the video, you can only extract the audio from Reels of public accounts. Content from private accounts isn't accessible with any tool.
