Copy the photo post link
Open the photo or carousel on Instagram. Choose Copy link from the post's sharing options, or copy the post address from your browser.
Instagram Photo Downloader
Save Instagram photos and carousel images to your device. Paste the post link and choose the photos you want.
Download photos from Instagram posts
The SnapInsta helps you save an Instagram photo as a file instead of taking a screenshot of the post. Paste the photo's post link and use the download button below its preview. You can then open the image from your device's downloads folder.
For a carousel, the results can include several photos and videos. Choose each image you want to keep, or download the available photos together with the image ZIP option. A profile picture uses a different input, so use the Profile Picture Downloader for an account's avatar.
How to download Instagram photos
Use the link to the post containing the photo. For a carousel, one post link is enough to request its available items.
Paste the link and load the photos
Enter the link in the box above and select Download. Look through the previews to find the photos you want to save.
Download one image or a photo ZIP
Use the download button beside an image to save it separately. If several photos are returned, use the available ZIP button to download them together.
Save a photo or a collection
Individual photo downloads
Choose a particular image from a post and save it directly. This is useful when you only need one slide from a larger carousel.
Photos together in a ZIP
The image ZIP option puts the returned photos in an archive you can extract on your device. A ZIP request accepts up to 20 images.
The image size supplied by Instagram
Download the available image file rather than capturing the surrounding app interface. Its resolution depends on the file returned for that post.
Opening photos from a ZIP download
After the ZIP finishes downloading, open it in Files or your device's file manager to extract the images. They will be available as separate files. If the post also contains videos, save those with their individual download buttons; they are not included in the photo ZIP.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I download all the photos in a carousel?
You can save the photos that appear in the results. Download each one separately or use the ZIP option for the returned images. If an expected image is missing, check the post link and try loading it again.
Will the downloaded photo have the original quality?
The image comes from the file available for the Instagram post. Instagram may have resized or compressed an upload, so it is not necessarily the same file the photographer first uploaded. Check the downloaded image's dimensions if size matters.
Can I save Instagram photos on iPhone?
Yes. Open the website in your browser, submit the post link and download the image. Look in Files or your browser's downloads list, then use your device's sharing or saving options to add the image to Photos.
Why is my downloaded file a video?
The post may contain both images and videos. Check the preview and select an image result. A thumbnail is a still image, while the main item may be a video.
Can I download a profile picture on this page?
Use the Profile Picture Downloader for an account's avatar. It accepts a username or profile link. This Photo Downloader is for images inside Instagram posts.
Why will a photo link not download?
Check that you copied the post link rather than a profile or search page. A deleted post or an account restriction can prevent access. If the public photo is still available, retry later in case the service is temporarily unavailable.
