Screenshots crop and shrink pictures. This Instagram photo downloader saves the original JPG that was uploaded — often 1080 pixels wide or more, and sometimes much larger, as the size label on each photo shows.
It works with single-photo posts and with carousels: every photo in the post appears with its own Download button, and you can grab the whole set at once as a ZIP file, numbered in the same order as on Instagram.
Photos are delivered exactly as Instagram stores them, with no extra compression — the best quality for wallpapers, references and printing.

Is it safe and legal?
We never ask for your Instagram username or password, there is nothing to install, and we don't use tracking or analytics. Files are cached for a few hours so repeat downloads are fast, then deleted automatically.
Downloading for personal use — for example to watch offline — is common. Photos, videos and music still belong to their creators: don't re-upload, sell or claim other people's content as your own, and ask for permission if you want to reuse it.
Frequently asked questions
What resolution are the photos?
The original resolution Instagram keeps for the post. The exact size is shown on each photo before you download.
Can I download all photos from a post at once?
Yes. For posts with several photos, use "Download all" to get them in one ZIP file, numbered in order.
Can I download Instagram pictures in HD?
Yes. This Instagram image downloader always gives you the largest version Instagram stores, so pictures stay sharp in HD.
What file format are the photos?
JPG, which opens on every phone and computer.
Can I save profile pictures?
Not at the moment — profile pictures need a logged-in Instagram account, and this tool works only with public post links.
Why is the photo smaller than my original?
Instagram resizes uploads on its side. We always give you the largest version Instagram keeps.
Can I download photos on iPhone?
Yes. The photo goes to the Files app; open it and choose Save Image to put it in Photos.
Can I download posts from private accounts?
No. Only followers the owner has approved can see posts from a private account, so they can't be downloaded here.
Can I download Instagram Stories and Highlights?
Not at the moment. Instagram only shows Stories and Highlights to logged-in users, and we never log in to Instagram or ask for your account.
Why can't I download an age-restricted post?
Some owners limit who can see their content (for example by age or country). Those posts need a logged-in account, so they can't be downloaded.
Can I download deleted posts or live videos?
No. If a post was removed there is nothing left to save, and a live video can only be saved after it ends and is shared as a normal post or Reel.
