Instagram Profile Picture Downloader
View and download an Instagram profile picture. Enter the account's username or profile link below.
Download an Instagram profile picture
Use The SnapInsta to save the profile picture displayed on an Instagram account. Enter the username or paste the profile link, then download the image shown in the result. This gives you an image file to open on your device rather than a screenshot of the profile page.
The tool looks for the account's current avatar. For photos and videos inside its posts, open the individual post and use the Photo or Video Downloader instead. A profile picture download does not include the account's gallery.
How to download an Instagram profile picture
You can use a username directly, so there is no need to find a photo post containing the avatar.
Load the profile picture
Select Download and wait for the result. Look at the image to confirm that it belongs to the account you wanted.
Save the avatar
Use the image's download button to save it on your device. Open the file from your browser's downloads list or file manager.
An image download from a username
Username or profile URL
Use whichever is easier to copy. A username identifies the account; a post link identifies a different item and belongs in a post download tool.
Open the available profile image
View the image returned for the account before saving it. The available dimensions depend on the profile picture supplied by Instagram.
Save without taking a screenshot
Download the image as a file from your browser. You can open it later without the surrounding profile page or app interface.
Getting the correct account
Instagram display names are not always the same as usernames. Use the username shown on the profile, or copy the profile URL if you are unsure. If the account recently changed its username or avatar, open its current profile and try those details again.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I enter: a name, username or link?
Enter the Instagram username or profile URL. A display name can be shared by several accounts, so it may not identify the person or account you intend. Copy the profile link if you are unsure of the username.
Can I download the profile picture in full size?
You can download the image size returned for the account. A larger version is not guaranteed for every profile. Open the saved file and check its dimensions if you need it for a particular size.
Does this download all photos from a profile?
No. This page downloads the profile picture. To save a photo or video from the account's posts, use the link to that post in the corresponding downloader.
Can I get an old profile picture?
The tool looks for the avatar currently available for the account. It does not provide a history of profile pictures. You would need a separate copy of an older image to save it.
Why does the wrong image appear?
Check the username carefully, especially dots, underscores and similar-looking letters. Try the profile URL copied directly from Instagram. If the avatar changed recently, the service may not return the new version immediately.
Where is the profile picture saved on my phone?
Check Files or the Downloads folder after downloading. Your browser may save the image there before it appears in the photo library. Open the image and use your device's save or share options if you want it in Photos or Gallery.
