How to find a song from an Instagram Reel
Open the Reel in Instagram, tap the paper-plane Share button and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the address from the browser bar.
Paste the link into the box above and press Find song. You get the song title and artist, a button to copy them, and links to listen on Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music. Post links work too, as long as the post has music on it.
Where the answer comes from
When a creator adds music to a Reel, Instagram stores which song it is. This page reads that tag from the public post, so the name is exactly what Instagram has on file, not a guess from listening.
Instagram also checks sounds that creators upload themselves. When it recognises a licensed song inside an “Original audio”, the tag is there too, and this page shows it. Nothing is uploaded from your phone and no audio is downloaded or analysed.
Why a Reel says “Original audio”
“Original audio” means the sound came with the video instead of being picked from Instagram's music library: a voiceover, a sound recorded on the spot, a remix, or an edit made in another app with the song already in it.
Some of those still carry a song Instagram has recognised, and then this page names it. If nothing was recognised, there is no tag to read, and you need a tool that listens to the audio instead.
What to do when no song is attached
Shazam is the quickest: play the Reel and let it listen. On an iPhone, add Music Recognition to Control Center and it works without leaving Instagram. In the Google app, tap the microphone and choose Search a song; you can even hum it.
Then check the people around the Reel. The caption, the comments (someone has usually asked) and the audio page all help: tap “Original audio” to see every Reel using that sound, and the earliest ones often name the track.
Finding the song inside the Instagram app
In the app, the song name scrolls along the bottom of a Reel next to a music note. Tap it to open the audio page with the title, the artist and a Save audio button, which keeps the sound in your Instagram saved list.
This page is for the other cases: you only have a link someone sent you, you're on a computer, the name is cut off, or the label just says “Original audio”.
Can you download the song from a Reel?
Not here. This page gives the song's name and where to listen. A song from Instagram's library belongs to its label, so the full track is on Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music, and that is where the links go.
If the Reel uses its own sound, like a voiceover or a creator's original track, the Instagram to MP3 tool can turn a public Reel's audio into an MP3 for personal use.
Private accounts, Stories and other apps
It works on public Reels and posts. A private account's posts can't be opened from outside, so they come back as not found.
Story links aren't supported: a Story with music shows the song on its music sticker. TikTok and YouTube links aren't supported either; for those, Shazam or a recognition site is the way to go.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find out what song is in an Instagram Reel?
Copy the Reel's link (Share → Copy link), paste it into the box above and press Find song. You get the title and artist Instagram attached to the Reel, with links to listen on Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music.
Does it work when the Reel says “Original audio”?
Sometimes. If Instagram recognised a licensed song inside that sound, this page names it. If not, there is no song tag to read, and Shazam or the Google app's Search a song is the next step.
Is the Instagram song finder free? Do I need to log in?
It's free, and you don't need an Instagram account or any app. Paste a link and press Find song.
Will the creator know I looked up their song?
No. Looking up a link here doesn't touch your Instagram account, and Instagram doesn't tell anyone that their Reel was checked.
Can I download the song?
No. This page gives the song's name and links to listen to it. For a Reel's own original audio, the Instagram to MP3 tool can convert a public Reel for personal use.
Why does it say no song is attached?
The Reel uses its own sound, and Instagram didn't recognise a song in it. That's common with voiceovers, remixes and edits made in other apps. Try Shazam, the Google app, or the caption and comments.
Does it work with private accounts?
No. Posts from private accounts can't be opened from outside Instagram, so the page can't read their song tag.
Does it work with TikTok or YouTube links?
No, only Instagram Reels and posts. For other apps, play the video next to Shazam.
