A Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Watermarks from Instagram Reels So You Can Repurpose The Video
Step one: Creating an Instagram Reel Design
The first step in removing the watermark from your Instagram Reels is to create an Instagram Reel design in Canva. You'll want to select "Create a Design" and find the "Instagram Reel" template.
If you want to start from scratch, the design dimensions should be 1080 x 1920 px!
step two: electing and Transferring Your Reel
Now we need to pull your Reels content directly from Instagram. To do this, navigate to the "apps" section on the left side menu. You can either scroll down to find Instagram or use the search bar to locate it quickly. Once you've found the Instagram app, click on it. If you're not already connected, you'll need to connect your Instagram account to Canva.
After connecting your Instagram account, you'll see all your content displayed in Canva. Browse through your Reels and select the one you want to remove the watermark from. Click on the Reel, and it will be transferred to your project as a video background.
Step Three: Adjusting and Sizing the Reel
Now that your Reel is in the Canva project, you can make any necessary adjustments. You can resize the Reel by clicking and dragging the corners, or you can use the "right click" option to set it as the background so it takes up the entire design space. Once you're satisfied with the placement of the Reel, you're ready to move on to the next step.
step four: Downloading the Reel Without the Watermark
Once you've finalized the design and placement of your Reel, it's time to remove the watermark and download the video. To do this, go to the "share" option and select "download" and then select "MP4 Video." And just like that, you have your Instagram Reel without the watermark!
How to Reuse Your Reels Videos
And there you have it – the easiest way to remove the watermark from your Instagram Reels using Canva. With this simple process, you can repurpose your Reels and share them on over and over again on Instagram without any distracting watermarks. You can also easily repurpose this on other short form video platforms - always make sure to use audio from that platform specifically to avoid copyright violations!
