Questions

How do I get a transcript of an Instagram Reel?

Open a public Reel or video, copy the share link, and paste it on this page. Choose a language and run Extract (captions) or AI (audio). Copy the text or download TXT, SRT, or VTT.

Which Instagram links work?

Public Reels, posts with video (/p/), IGTV /watch paths, and instagram.com share links. Private accounts, close-friends stories, and login walls will fail.

What is the difference between Extract and AI?

Extract pulls captions Instagram already generated. It is fast when those captions exist. AI downloads a 15-minute audio segment and transcribes speech. Auto tries Extract first, then AI.

Can I transcribe a private Instagram video?

No. Only public Reels and videos with a shareable URL work. Private profiles, close friends, and DMs are out of scope.

Is Instagram to Transcript free?

Yes. There is no signup and no paywall on the core tool. We rate-limit heavy AI use so the server stays available.

Which file formats can I download?

Plain text (TXT) for documents, SRT for video editors, and VTT for web players. All three come from the same timestamped transcript.
