The iPad's large screen makes Instagram Reels look great, and downloading them is just as easy as on iPhone. Whether you have an iPad Pro with M-series chip or a basic 9th-gen iPad, GrabReels works perfectly in Safari.
Step-by-Step: Download Reels on iPad
- Open the Instagram app on your iPad and find the Reel you want.
- Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) and select Copy Link.
- Open Safari on your iPad and navigate to GrabReels.com.
- Paste the link into the input field and tap Fetch Post.
- Tap Download Video. The file saves to your Files app.
Using Split View for Convenience
iPad's Split View feature lets you open Instagram and Safari side by side. This way you can copy a link from Instagram on the left and paste it into GrabReels on the right without switching apps — a great productivity trick for downloading multiple posts quickly.
Moving Downloads to Photos
Downloads on iPad go to the Files app by default. To move a video to your Photo Library: open Files, tap and hold the video, tap Share, then select Save Video. On iPadOS 16+, you can drag files directly from Files to Photos.
Downloading Carousels on iPad
Carousel posts look excellent on iPad's large display. GrabReels shows all carousel images in a grid preview. Tap Download All to save every image at once, or tap individual image buttons to pick specific ones.
iPad Models Supported
- iPad Pro (all generations including M4)
- iPad Air (all generations including M2)
- iPad Mini (all generations)
- iPad (9th, 10th, 11th generation)
Conclusion
Downloading Instagram Reels on iPad is a seamless experience with GrabReels. The large screen makes it easy to preview content before downloading. Supports Reels, posts, carousels, and more — all in original quality.
