Open the moment on Instagram.
Sign in directly on Instagram in the same browser profile. Open the Story, Reel or post you are allowed to view and save. Let its photo or video load; play the video if needed.
- 04
Scan what you can see. Save it.
Open GetMyReel Companion from your browser’s Extensions menu and choose Scan this tab. Review the available file, then choose Save file. For another Story or carousel item, open it on Instagram and scan again.
Keep the extracted folder. Your browser loads the extension from it. Pin GetMyReel Companion in the Extensions menu for easier access. After an update, replace the files, reload the extension and refresh Instagram.

CHOOSE THE WAY THAT FITSTwo paths.
Two paths.
One clear difference.
Instagram decides what your account can see. Use the companion only for media you own or have permission to save.
Browser companion
Open media you can already view in your own Instagram session. Check it locally and save an available file on your computer.
Set up the companionCLEAR BEFORE YOU CLICKA few useful
A few useful
things to know.
No account unlocking.
No promise before the file is found.
01Will a private link alone work?+
No. Open that content on Instagram in a browser where your own account is already allowed to view it. The companion checks media available in that page. It does not unlock accounts, restore expired Stories or grant permission to content you cannot view.
02Can it save every Story or Reel I can view?+
Availability depends on how Instagram delivers that particular item. If a downloadable file cannot be identified, the companion tells you. Some items remain unavailable even when playback works. It checks the item you opened, not your entire feed or someone’s account archive.
03Does my login or private media go to GetMyReel.app?+
The companion runs in your browser. You sign in on Instagram itself; there is no password or cookie upload form. This flow does not send your Instagram login, private media or download jobs to the GetMyReel.app server. Instagram and its media hosts still handle normal page and media requests.
04Where is the saved file?+
Your browser saves it to its Downloads location, or asks you where to save it. Extension downloads are local to your device; they do not appear in the website’s server download history. The file keeps the available source format.
05Can I use it on my phone?+
This package is for desktop Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It is installed manually from this page; it is not a Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons listing. The public link downloader still works in a mobile browser.
06Nothing appeared after Scan this tab. What next?+
Keep the Story, Reel or post open in the active Instagram tab. Wait for the media to load, play the video, then scan again. Open the item itself instead of a profile grid. If Instagram does not provide an available file, the companion cannot save it.
