Is this Facebook and Instagram Reel downloader free?+
Yes. LinkFlows provides this public Reel downloader free of charge, with no account or subscription required to start.
Do I need to log in to Facebook or Instagram?+
No. You do not need to share a Facebook or Instagram password. The tool only attempts to process a public link that you provide.

Use a public URL from facebook.com, fb.watch, fb.com, instagram.com, or instagr.am. Reel, video, and supported post links may work depending on the platform response.
Why did my Reel download fail?+
The link may be private, expired, deleted, geo-restricted, login-gated, or copied incorrectly. Try opening the link in a private browser window first, then paste the full public URL again.
Where is the downloaded Reel saved?+
The video is sent to your browser for download. LinkFlows does not require you to create a library or store the Reel in your account.
Does the downloader work on mobile?+
Yes. Open the page in a modern mobile browser, paste the public link, and tap Download MP4. Browser download behavior can vary by device and operating system.
Can I download private or friends-only Reels?+
No. The tool is intentionally limited to public content and cannot bypass privacy settings, login walls, or access controls.
Can I reuse a downloaded Reel?+
