Download Instagram Photos
Save Instagram photos in original resolution to your device. Download single images or every photo from carousel posts — free, no app required.
Download Instagram photos at full resolution
You can't right-click and save photos on Instagram. The app doesn't let you download images either. So if you want an actual file of an Instagram photo, you need a tool like this one. Paste the post link above and download the photo at whatever resolution Instagram has on file.
How Instagram handles photos
When someone uploads a photo, Instagram processes and compresses it. The platform stores the result at a maximum of 1080 pixels wide. Portrait photos go up to 1080x1350, squares to 1080x1080, and landscapes to 1080x608 (roughly). These are the versions you'll download. The original, uncompressed file isn't available through any downloader since Instagram doesn't keep it.
Downloading carousel posts
Carousel posts are the multi-image albums where you swipe left to see more. When you paste a carousel link, the tool loads every image (and video, if the carousel has mixed media) and presents them individually. Pick the ones you want and download them one by one. Carousels can hold up to 20 items, so there might be quite a few to go through.
How to do it
- Find the photo on Instagram and copy the post link
- Paste it into the input field on this page
- Click download
- For single photos, save the file directly
- For carousels, browse the items and download each one you want
Why download instead of screenshot?
Screenshots are lossy. They capture your screen at screen resolution, which on a phone is often around 390 pixels wide for an Instagram post. The actual stored image is 1080 pixels wide. That's a massive difference. If you're saving photos for reference, inspiration, or personal archival, downloading gives you significantly better quality.
Respecting photographers
Photos on Instagram belong to whoever created them. Downloading for personal use, reference, or inspiration is fine. Reposting without credit, selling prints, or using someone's photos in commercial projects without permission is not. If you like someone's work enough to download it, consider following them or reaching out before using it publicly.
