Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download the caption from an Instagram Reel?
Copy the link of any public Instagram Reel or post, paste it into the search box, and click 'Get Captions'. The tool instantly extracts the creator's full post caption with emojis, hashtags, and mentions, plus subtitle tracks if present.
Can I download subtitles in .SRT or .VTT format?
Yes! If the Reel has closed captions or if you enable the AI speech-to-text option, you can download timestamped subtitles in both SubRip (.srt) and WebVTT (.vtt) formats ready to import into Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci, or Final Cut.
Does it extract hashtags and user mentions separately?
Yes. Every hashtag (#) and mentioned account (@) in the caption is parsed into organized, copyable tags so you can easily research viral hashtags and credit creators.
Can I transcribe the spoken audio if the Reel has no subtitles?
Yes. Check the 'Transcribe Reel audio with AI' option. Our high-speed Whisper AI engine will automatically listen to the speech in the Reel and produce synchronized timestamped captions.
Is this tool free and does it require an Instagram login?
It is 100% free with no login, no password, and no browser extension required. It works on any public Instagram Reel, video, or photo post.
