How to get the transcript of an Instagram Reel
Open the Reel, tap Share, then Copy link. Paste the link in the box on this page and click Convert. The audio of the Reel is transcribed and you get the text of what is said.
Public Reels work by link, private ones by file
A link works when the Reel is public. A Reel from a private account, or one that can only be seen when logged in, cannot be fetched by link: save the video and use the Upload a file tab instead.
What the transcript contains
The default output is a Markdown transcript of the spoken content. Public-link transcripts have no timed caption track. Uploaded recordings can include segment timestamps. AI enhancement is optional; summaries and topic headings are not part of the default transcript.
Text that only appears on screen, and music without speech, are not transcribed.
Use it with your AI assistant
Under the result, the ChatGPT and Claude buttons copy the transcript with a short instruction and open the assistant. Paste it, then ask for a summary, the hook, the key points, or a rewrite for another format.
Review and reuse
Check names, numbers and quotations against the recording. Noise, music, overlapping voices and unclear speech can cause transcription errors. The tool does not identify speakers.
Your plan sets file-size and duration limits. A free account is needed to convert, and each conversion uses credits.
