Public Reel links such as instagram.com/reel/SHORTCODE/ and instagram.com/username/reel/SHORTCODE/.

Question 4

What is the Instagram Reel size and ratio?

Accepted Answer

Reels are typically vertical 9:16 video. A common target is about 1080×1920 pixels. Keeping the clip vertical usually looks best in the Reels feed and on mobile.

Can I download private Reels?

Accepted Answer

No. Only public Reels that are accessible without logging in to Instagram can be fetched.

Question 6

Can you see who reposted or shared your Instagram Reel?

Accepted Answer

Instagram does not provide a complete public list of everyone who reposted your Reel. Professional accounts can review Reel Insights for shares where available. Story shares that use Instagram’s share sticker may appear in notifications or Insights, but off-platform reposts and screenshots are not tracked.

Question 7

How to see who shared your Instagram Reel?

Accepted Answer

Open Insights for the Reel (professional/creator accounts) and check shares where Instagram shows them. Native Story shares can appear in notifications or Insights. There is no full list of every private or off-platform share.

Question 8

Is it legal?

Accepted Answer

Only download content you own or have permission to use. Follow Instagram Terms of Use and copyright laws.
