How to download Instagram Reel audio as MP3
- 01Copy the Reel link
In the Instagram app, tap the Share icon on the Reel and choose Copy link. On the web, copy it from the address bar.
- 02Paste it into the box above
Tap Download. VoomReel finds the video and shows it with its download options.
- 03Tap ♪ MP3
The MP3 is made from the Reel's own sound and downloads by itself, usually in a few seconds.
Where the MP3 lands on iPhone, Android and PC
- iPhone: Safari saves it to the Files app, under Downloads. Open it from there in any app that plays audio.
- Android: it goes to your Downloads folder, and the download notification opens it.
- Windows, Mac and Linux: it is in your browser's downloads, like any other file.
What quality is an Instagram MP3, and why 320 kbps doesn't help
Instagram delivers the sound of Reels as HE-AAC at 59 to 86 kbit/s. We measured five Reels; none went higher.
VoomReel makes a constant 192 kbit/s MP3. That is well above the source, so the conversion keeps everything the Reel had, and because the bitrate is constant, every player shows the right length.
Converters that promise 320 kbps are describing the file, not the sound. An MP3 made from a 70 kbit/s source can't contain detail the source never had: converting one lossy format into another can only lose, never add.
Which Instagram links work
- Reels, feed videos and IGTV from a public account: links with /reel/, /p/ or /tv/ in them, copied from the app or the website.
- A carousel with several videos: each video gets its own ♪ MP3 button.
- Photos have no sound, so there is nothing to convert. Save them with the Instagram photo downloader.
- To keep a sound you heard in Reels, paste the link of a Reel that uses it, not the sound's own audio page.
- Stories, private accounts and Close Friends posts stay private: VoomReel never logs in to Instagram.
Need the video or the cover too?
The same result card has Download video for the MP4 and Cover photo for the Reel's cover image. See the Instagram video downloader, Instagram Reels to MP4, or downloading Instagram videos on a PC.
The ♪ MP3 button isn't only for Instagram: there are TikTok to MP3 and Twitter to MP3 pages, and it works on Facebook, Twitch and more from the VoomReel homepage.
Use audio you have the right to use
Saving the sound of your own Reels, a voiceover you recorded, or a clip for personal listening is what an Instagram audio downloader is for. Music in Reels belongs to the people who made it: Instagram's copyright rules apply on the platform, and the US Copyright Office explains fair use.
Why use VoomReel to download Instagram audio?

- No login, no app: it runs in your browser, and your Instagram account is never involved.
- Any device: iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.
- Free: no sign-up and no cost.
- Video too: the same card saves the MP4 and the cover photo.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download audio from an Instagram Reel?
Copy the Reel's link, paste it into the box on this page and tap ♪ MP3. VoomReel makes an MP3 from the Reel's own sound, and it downloads straight to your device.
How do I convert an Instagram Reel to MP3?
The same way: paste the Reel link here and tap ♪ MP3. You get the soundtrack as its own file, without the picture.
Is this Instagram audio downloader free?
Yes. Free, with no sign-up and no app to install.
Can I get a 320 kbps MP3 from Instagram?
You can get a bigger file, but not better sound. Instagram serves Reel audio at 59 to 86 kbit/s, so a 192 kbit/s MP3 already holds everything the Reel has; a 320 kbps version of the same source only takes more space.
Can I save the sound from an Instagram audio page?
Paste the link of a Reel that uses the sound instead. VoomReel makes the MP3 from a video, and an audio page is a list of Reels rather than a video.
Is it safe?
There is no app to install and no account to create, and VoomReel never asks for your Instagram login. The MP3 comes straight to your browser as an ordinary file.
How do I download the Reel itself?
Paste the same link and tap Download video instead of ♪ MP3 and you get the MP4. The Instagram video downloader page covers it in detail.
