Troubleshooting Downloader Errors

Encountered an issue? Here are the most common solutions.

01

Invalid Instagram URL

Ensure the copied link matches standard formats. It must contain 'instagram.com' and point directly to a post, reel, or story. Avoid sharing links from private group chats or internal profile screens.

02

Private Account Content

ReelGallary only supports downloading public Instagram content. If the creator has restricted their profile to followers, we cannot bypass these settings. Make sure the target account is set to public.

03

Expired Story or Deleted Post

Instagram Stories expire after 24 hours. If a post is deleted by the creator, our backend scraper will return a 'Not Found' error. Verify that the post is still visible on Instagram.

04

Temporary Instagram or Server Limit

Sometimes Instagram rate-limits our server IP nodes, or our hosting backend encounters brief connection spikes. If you see extraction failures, wait 30 seconds and try again. It usually resolves instantly.
