Instagram Edits is an app designed to help you turn your ideas into engaging videos. With its powerful editing tools, you can create video projects that include text, music, effects, and more, making it easier than ever to produce content for your audience.

Starting a video project
With Edits, you can record a video project and choose to either:
- Save it as a draft to continue editing later
- Download it directly to your device
You can also explore reels shared on Instagram within Edits to see what is trending. If you find a reel you like, you can reuse its audio to start your own video project. Once your video is ready, you can automatically download it and share it as a reel on Instagram or Facebook.
Editing your content
Edits offers a variety of tools to make your videos unique. You can:
- Add multiple layers, such as text, music, or effects
- Manage and adjust these layers to create the look and feel you want
These features give you full creative control, allowing you to make videos that resonate with your audience.
