A free Instagram post downloader that saves every photo and video in a public Instagram post or carousel, 1 by 1 or all in 1 ZIP, straight to your device.
Paste the link to a public Instagram post, or type a username. Every photo and video downloads straight from Instagram to your device.
Paste a link or a username
This free Instagram post downloader saves everything in a public Instagram post: the photos, the videos, or a carousel of both.
Paste the post's link, or type a username and pick from the account's latest posts. Every file comes with its size, and a carousel saves in 1 ZIP.
The files come straight from Instagram to your device. My site only reads Instagram's public embed page to find them.
Here's what an Instagram post downloader is, what it saves, and when to ask first.
What is an Instagram post downloader?
An Instagram post downloader is a tool that saves the photos and videos from an Instagram post as files on your device.
This one reads a public post from its link and shows every photo and video in it, each with its own Download button.
How to download an Instagram post
On a computer, copy the link from the address bar instead. Links with or without the username in them work.
What it saves
| Post | What you get |
|---|---|
 Photo | The photo as a JPG, up to 1,080 pixels wide |
| Video or Reel | The MP4 (720p on the Reels checked) and its sound |
| Carousel | Every photo and video, 1 by 1 or as a ZIP |
| Username | The account's latest 6 posts to pick from |
On the public posts I checked on September 26, 2026, photos came at 1,080 pixels wide and videos at 720p. The tool shows each file's size before you download it.
Save a carousel in 1 go
A carousel can hold up to 20 photos and videos. They show in a grid, numbered in order.
Press Download all (ZIP) and they save in 1 ZIP file, made in your browser, each named by the account, the post and its place.
Downloading on iPhone and Android
On a phone, press Download and the file 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 file, then again to open the share sheet. An iPhone offers Save Image or Save Video 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.
- Removed posts. A link to a deleted post leads nowhere.
Your own posts, and someone else's
A post belongs to the person who posted it.
Save your own freely: to post them somewhere else, to back them up, or to reuse a carousel. Before you reuse someone else's, ask them, and credit them when you do.
Do more with the post
The tool also gives you the caption, 1 tap to copy.
Ask your AI to turn it into a LinkedIn post or an X post in 1 click. Or make your own carousel with my Instagram carousel generator.
