Note: Instagram link pasting is no longer available. Instagram blocks all third-party access to its video content. Please download the Reel video yourself (e.g. screen-record or save from the Instagram app) and upload the file here.
Your file leaves your browser. It is sent directly to this Cloudflare Worker and Cloudflare Workers AI for transcription. This tool does not save it to a database or storage bucket.

We do not collect analytics or track the files you upload. This page sets no cookies of its own. A few outbound links on this site are affiliate links, and those links set their own cookies when you click them — see Privacy for what that means.
