Instagram Post Downloader

This free Instagram post downloader saves the photos and videos from any public post, in the same quality Instagram keeps for them.

How to use the Instagram post downloader

1. Open the post in Instagram and tap the paper-plane icon under it.
2. Tap Copy link. On a computer, copy the address from the top of the browser instead.
3. Paste the link into the box above and press Download.
4. Save each photo as a JPG and each video as an MP4. A post with several slides shows a button for every slide.

One page for every kind of post

Most people don’t think in “photo posts” and “video posts”. They just see a post they want to keep. That is what this page is for: paste the link of any public post and it works out by itself what is inside. A single picture comes back as one JPG. A video comes back as an MP4 with a choice of quality. A post with several slides, also called a carousel, shows every slide separately, so you can keep one favourite or the whole set.

Every Instagram post download works the same way on a phone, a tablet or a computer. You can download Instagram post photos one at a time, or save the whole set when the post has several slides. Nothing is uploaded from your device and nothing is stored on ours.

What you get

Photos arrive at the largest size Instagram stores, usually about 1080 pixels wide, which is sharp on any phone and fine for a small print. Videos come as MP4 files with their sound, and the first quality button is always the best version we found. We don’t add a watermark, we don’t crop anything and we don’t keep a copy of your download.

Good to know

• The link of a post contains /p/. A link that only shows a username belongs to a profile and won’t work: open one post first. How to copy the right link.
• Only want the picture from a post? The photo downloader does the same job.
• For a single video or a Reel, the video and Reels pages have tips for those posts.
• Saving every slide of an album? See the carousel downloader.

Why use an Instagram post downloader at all?

Instagram’s own Save button only bookmarks a post inside the app. It doesn’t create a file on your phone, and if the owner deletes the post, your bookmark disappears with it. Screenshots are a poor substitute: they cut off the edges, add the status bar and throw away resolution. Downloading the post gives you the real files, which you can keep, back up or watch offline.

It also works the same on every device: iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux, in any browser, with nothing to install and no password to type. The post still belongs to the person who made it, so keep downloads for your own use and ask before reposting. Instagram explains how sharing and copyright work on its side in the Instagram Help Center.
