Instagram Cover & Thumbnail Downloader

The cover frame of any public reel or video, as a full-size JPG.

Public posts only. No login, no sign-up.

Every reel and video on Instagram has a cover: the still image shown in the grid and before playback starts. Creators often design it with care, and it is hard to get on its own. Paste the link here and press “Cover JPG” to save it at full size.

Covers come out at the size Instagram stores them — for vertical reels usually 720 × 1280 or 1080 × 1920.

How to download in three steps

  1. 1

    Copy the reel link

    Share icon → “Copy link”, or copy the address from your browser.

  2. 2

    Paste and fetch

    Press “Get media”. The cover is the picture you see on the result card.

  3. 3

    Save the cover

    Press “Cover JPG” under the video.

What people use covers for

Cover vs. first frame

The cover is not always the first frame of the video. Creators can pick any moment, or upload a separate image. fastdl.now saves the cover Instagram actually displays, which is what most people are after.

Questions and answers

What size is the cover image?

The size Instagram stores, usually the same resolution as the video itself. The quality label on the card applies to the video; the cover matches it.

Can I get covers of photo posts?

A photo post has no separate cover — the photo is the image. Use the photo downloader for those.

Can I use someone else’s cover image?

Only with their permission. Covers are part of the creator’s work.
