How to download an Instagram Reel cover

Open the Reel or video, tap the share icon and choose Copy link — or copy the instagram.com/reel/… address from your browser. Paste it into the box above and press Get cover. The poster frame comes back in its original quality, ready to save.

On a computer and on Android the image lands in Downloads. On iPhone, Safari saves it into Files through the share sheet; open Files, tap the image and choose Save Image to move it into Photos.

Cover image vs. saving the whole post

This tool returns just the cover — the single poster frame that represents a Reel or video on a profile grid — at full resolution, which is what you want for a mood board, a reference or a re-share.

If you actually want the photos from a post or carousel, use the Instagram photo downloader instead; it saves every image in the post rather than the video's cover frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does this download?+

The cover (poster) image of a Reel or video — the still frame Instagram shows before it plays. It comes back at the resolution Instagram serves, not a compressed screenshot.

How is this different from the photo downloader?+

The photo downloader saves the actual images in a post or carousel. This one saves the cover frame of a Reel or video. Paste a photo post into the photo tool and a Reel into this one.

Do I need an account or the app?+

No. It runs in your browser, there's nothing to install and no sign-up. Paste a link and save the image.

Can I download the cover of a private account's Reel?+

No. Only public posts can be read. If the account is private, or the post was deleted, there's nothing publicly available to fetch.

Does it add a watermark?+

No. You get Instagram's original cover image untouched — nothing is stamped or re-encoded onto it.

Ready when you are.

No sign-up, no install, no watermark. Paste a link and go.
