Accepted Answer

Yes, you can download Instagram posts on an iPhone: press Download and the file saves to the Files app. Or tap Share or save twice to open the share sheet, and pick Save Image or Save Video to put it in Photos.

Question 6

Why does a username show only 6 posts?

Accepted Answer

A username shows the account's latest 6 posts because that's all Instagram shows to anyone who isn't signed in, and this tool never signs in to Instagram. For an older post, open it on Instagram and paste its link.

Question 7

Can I download posts from a private Instagram account?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't download posts from a private Instagram account with this tool, because only the account's followers can see them and the tool never signs in.

Saving a public Instagram post for yourself is how most people use a post downloader, but the post still belongs to the person who posted it. Save your own freely, and ask before you post someone else's again.

Yes, you can download many at once: press Paste many links at once, paste up to 10 links, 1 per line, and press Download all (ZIP). The best file of each link comes in 1 ZIP, made in your browser.

Question 11

Can I get the transcript of the video?
