Your file stays on your device. On first use, your browser downloads the speech model and shows received / total bytes below. Later uses reuse the browser cache when it is available.

How local transcription works

Download a public Instagram Reel, post, or video to your own device first. This Instagram video to text tool reads the file only from the browser you are using. It does not send the file to this site or to a transcription API.

Language and limits

The local Whisper model used here offers 99 language choices. No duration or file-size limit is stated because this build has not measured a reliable cross-device limit. Actual performance depends on the selected file and the visitor’s browser and hardware.

Exports

After transcription, copy the plain text or download TXT, SRT, or VTT. The timestamped exports are created in this browser.

Read the Reel caption guide when you need on-screen captions for a Reel before publishing.

Questions about local transcripts

Can I make an Instagram video transcript?

Yes. Choose a locally saved public video or audio file, select the spoken language, and export the result after processing finishes.

Can I transcribe Instagram video locally?

Yes. This page reads the file in the browser you are using, rather than sending that file to this site.

Does the Instagram Reels to text workflow upload my file?

No. The selected media stays on your device while the browser processes it.
