About the extension
Insta to YouTube Shorts is a Chrome side-panel extension for reposting your own Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts.
Reposting a Reel to YouTube Shorts normally means downloading the video, re-encoding it, opening YouTube Studio, and re-typing every field. Insta to YouTube Shorts collapses that into a side panel that rides along next to Instagram: detect the active public Reel, review the details, and upload straight to your channel.
It handles the tedious parts too — a background queue uploads several Reels one at a time even with the panel closed, results arrive as notifications, failed uploads retry automatically, and a local history helps you avoid accidental duplicates.
Runs in your browser
No account to create with us and no server of ours in the middle. Your YouTube token and upload history live in your browser's local storage.
Your channel, your control
Sign-in uses Google OAuth so you pick exactly which YouTube channel receives your Shorts. You can disconnect at any time.
Creator-first
Built for people who already post their own Reels and want them on YouTube Shorts without the download-and-reupload busywork.
A note on responsible use
Use Insta to YouTube Shorts only for content you own, manage, or have explicit permission to repost. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram, Meta, Google, or YouTube. You are responsible for complying with each platform's terms and with copyright law.
