How it works
A transcript in three steps
We transcribe the speech
The tool detects spoken language and turns the audio into timestamped text.
Copy or export
Review the transcript, copy the text, or download TXT, SRT, and VTT.
Built for short video
From Instagram Reel to transcript in one tab
Paste the public Reel URL. EZTranscript fetches the available video, detects the spoken language, and turns the audio into timestamped text. When Instagram blocks link access, upload the video file instead.
Public Reels and video posts work best. Private accounts, deleted posts, Stories, age-restricted videos, and region-blocked media cannot be fetched from a link.

FAQ
Before you paste a link
EZTranscript is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta.
How do I get a transcript from an Instagram video?+
Paste the URL of a public Reel or Instagram video above, then select Generate transcript. If Instagram blocks the link, download the video you have permission to use and upload that file.
Is this Instagram transcript generator free?+
Yes. The beta is free to try, requires no account, and accepts files up to 24 MB. We may add clear usage limits before introducing paid plans.
Can it transcribe an Instagram Reel without captions?+
Yes. EZTranscript uses speech recognition on the audio, so the source video does not need built-in captions.
Can I download the transcript with timestamps?+
Yes. Copy the plain text or download TXT, SRT, and VTT files. SRT and VTT preserve timestamps for subtitles and editing tools.
Do you store my Instagram video?+
The MVP processes each request in memory and does not create an account, history, or media library. Your browser holds the displayed transcript until you close or refresh the page.
Why can’t my Instagram link be transcribed?+
Instagram may block automated access, or the post may be private, deleted, restricted, or unavailable in the processing region. Uploading an authorized copy of the file is the most reliable fallback.
