This free Instagram photo downloader saves the photos from any public Instagram post, as large as Instagram has them.

Paste the link to a post or a carousel, or type a username. You get every photo in the post with its size, and Download all saves them in 1 ZIP.

Every photo comes straight from Instagram to your device. My site only reads Instagram's public embed page to find them.

Here's what an Instagram photo downloader is, what size you get, and how to save a carousel in 1 go.

What is an Instagram photo downloader?

An Instagram photo downloader is a tool that saves the photos from Instagram posts as image files on your device.

This one reads a public post from its link and saves each photo at the largest size Instagram shows.

How to download Instagram photos

Download Instagram photos0/4

On a computer, copy the link from the address bar instead.

A carousel shows as a grid, numbered in order. Press Download all (ZIP) and every photo and video saves in 1 ZIP file, made in your browser.

Each file is named with the account, the post and its place in the carousel, so they stay in order.

What size you get

Instagram keeps photos up to 1,080 pixels wide, and that's the size you get. On the carousel I checked on September 26, 2026, each photo was 1,080 × 1,440.

PostWhat you get
Photo postThe photo as a JPG
CarouselEvery photo and video, 1 by 1 or as a ZIP
ReelIts cover image, and the video
UsernameThe account's latest 6 posts to pick from

The tool shows each photo's size before you download it. A downloader can't give you a larger photo than Instagram shows.

Downloading on iPhone and Android

On a phone, press Download and the photo saves to your downloads: the Files app on an iPhone, the Downloads folder on Android.

Where your phone supports it, tap Share or save once to get the photo, then again to open the share sheet. An iPhone offers Save Image there, which puts it in Photos.

What it can't save

  • Private accounts. Only their followers see their posts.
  • Stories and highlights. Instagram shows them only to signed-in accounts, and this tool never signs in.
  • Full-size profile pictures. Instagram shows a profile picture 100 pixels wide to anyone who isn't signed in.

Your own photos, and someone else's

A photo belongs to the person who took it.

Save your own freely: to post them somewhere else, to print them, or to keep a copy. Before you reuse someone else's, ask them, and credit them when you do.

Do more with the photos
