How to get an Instagram Reel transcript in 3 steps

  2. Paste the link above and select Get transcript.
  3. Copy the text, or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT.

Spoken words only

The transcript is made from what is said in the Reel. A Reel with only music, or with words shown on screen but not spoken, has no speech to transcribe and returns no transcript.

What you can do with the text

Reuse a Reel as a caption or a post, paste the text into ChatGPT or Claude, or translate the SRT to add subtitles in another language.

FAQ

Is my transcript public?

No. Instagram transcripts are private to you and are never published or added to the public library.

Why did my Reel return no transcript?

Most often the Reel has no speech: only music, or words shown on screen. Reels from private accounts cannot be read either.

Does it work with Instagram video posts?

Yes. Links to Reels (instagram.com/reel/…) and to video posts (instagram.com/p/…) both work.

Do I need to log in to Instagram?

No. The Reel only needs to be public; you paste its link here.
