Instagram video search: find where a Reel came from

To find where an Instagram Reel came from, upload the Reel or a screenshot of it to Reverse Video Search Tool. Our visual AI finds the original post, the creator's account and the copies we find on TikTok, YouTube, X and Facebook — even when the Reel was reposted without credit.

Drop a video or screenshot

MP4, MOV, WebM, GIF, JPG, PNG · up to 200 MB ·
or paste a YouTube link
Spotted a copy on TikTok or Instagram? Drop the saved video or a quick screen recording to find the original and every repost.

Why search Instagram videos by clip

Reels travel fast: a video filmed for TikTok becomes a Reel, then a meme page repost, then a compilation. Searching by the video itself leads you past the reposts to the creator.

How to search an Instagram video

  1. Save the Reel. Download it, screen-record it or take a screenshot of a clear moment.
  2. Upload it here. MP4, MOV, WebM, GIF, JPG and PNG all work.
  3. Find the source. See the original post and creator first, then the copies on other platforms.

What you get

  • The creator's account on Instagram or the platform where the video started
  • The earliest upload we find, with its date
  • The meme pages and accounts that reposted it
  • A proof report with all links in one place

Common Instagram searches

  • A recipe, workout or travel Reel with no credit. Find the creator to follow and save the full video.
  • A movie or show clip on a fan page. Identify the title and the scene.
  • Your own Reel reposted by a meme page. Collect the repost links for a credit request.

Instagram by the numbers

According to Pew Research Center, about half of U.S. adults (51%) used Instagram in its 2026 survey, and 31% used TikTok. YouTube reports that YouTube Shorts average over 200 billion daily views. Short videos move between these apps all the time, so a Reel you see may have started life on another platform.

Reverse video search questions

What is reverse video search?

Reverse video search starts from a video or a screenshot instead of a text query and looks for the same footage elsewhere on the web. Creators use it to find reposts of their videos; anyone can use it to find where a clip came from.

How do I find who reposted my video?

Upload the video or paste its YouTube link and run the search. The report lists the copies we found, grouped by platform and sorted by upload date, so you can see where your video was reposted and which upload came first.

Can I use the report for a takedown?

Yes. The report gives you what a takedown form asks for: a link to each copy, its upload date and side-by-side proof next to your original. You file the notice with the platform in your own name, and the report is your evidence.

Does it find copies with new captions, edits or watermarks?

Yes. We match the scenes themselves, so copies with new captions, edits or watermarks are found too. A longer clip gives more scenes to match.

What do I pay for?

Your first search is free. A search is only used when we find matches for you. Plans start at $9.99 a month, or you can buy a search pack without a subscription.

Is my upload kept?

Your upload is used only for your search and deleted right after. Reports are kept so you can open them again from your history.
