Get a Transcript From Any Instagram Video
Instagram gives you on-screen auto-captions to watch with, not an editable document to work from — you cannot select them, search them, or export them. Because Instagram restricts direct link scraping, save the video to your device and drop the file in here. You get an instant duration and word estimate free, and our Whisper-class AI generates a clean, timestamped transcript with optional speaker labels ready to edit and export.

Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe directly from an Instagram link?
No. Due to Instagram's bot protection and login walls, server-side tools cannot fetch audio directly from a pasted post link. To transcribe, save the video to your device first: in the Instagram app, tap Share then Download (or use any trusted browser video downloader), then drop the MP4 file here. Once uploaded, you get an instant free length estimate and a full, timestamped transcript with 8 export formats.
Do I have to connect my Instagram account?
No, and you should not be asked to anywhere. We never request your Instagram login, and nothing here needs one — you simply upload the saved video file from your device. You only need a free ScribeToAny account to save and export your transcripts.
What can I do with the transcript afterwards?
Edit it in the browser, click any line to replay that moment, then export TXT, SRT, VTT, TSV, CSV, JSON, PDF or DOCX. SRT and VTT come out cue-timed, so they drop straight back onto the video as subtitles.
