clock iconAugust 8, 2022

When you forget about "getting it right" on Reels, you give yourself the freedom to go whichever direction your creativity takes you. There’s no such thing as failure here, only limitless opportunities to grow into the creator you can be. So go ahead, try something silly, serious or spicy—something new and something you.

In short, there’s no one tried-and-true way to make a reel. With features and tools that let you explore, experiment and express yourself, Reels allows you to grow your community and shape your journey as a creator on your own terms. Ready to play?
