Questions
Which size works for Reels?
Choose “phone on a backdrop” and export an MP4: that’s a tall 9:16 video, the shape Reels, TikTok and Shorts want.
Is this made by Instagram?
No. Faux Reel is an independent tool for fun and parody, not linked to Instagram or Meta. Please don’t use it to fool or hurt anyone.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up, no app to install, no ads. Everything runs in your browser.
Does my chat get uploaded anywhere?
No. The video is made on your own phone or computer. What you type never leaves it.
Is there a watermark?
A tiny “fauxreel” in the corner and a short card at the end, so people know it’s a joke.
