What content can I download from Instagram?
Instagram Downloader supports downloading photos (single images and carousel posts), videos, Reels, IGTV videos, and Stories (when accessible). You can download content from public accounts as well as content you have access to from private accounts.
Can I download Instagram Stories?
Yes, you can download Instagram Stories, but only while they are still active (within 24 hours of posting) and accessible to you. Once a Story expires or is deleted by the user, it can no longer be downloaded. For Stories saved to Highlights, you can download those as well.
Can I download from private Instagram accounts?
Instagram Downloader can only access content that you can already see in your Instagram account. For private accounts, you would need to be logged into an Instagram account that follows that user and has permission to view their content.
Is Instagram Downloader safe and private?
Yes, Instagram Downloader is safe and respects your privacy. The extension operates within your browser and does not collect your Instagram login credentials or personal data. All processing happens locally on your device without sending information to external servers.
What quality are downloaded Instagram photos and videos?
Instagram Downloader downloads photos and videos in their original quality as uploaded to Instagram. For photos, this typically means the highest resolution available (up to 1080px or higher). For videos, it downloads the best quality version available.
Can I download multiple photos from carousel posts?
Yes, when you download an Instagram carousel post (multiple photos/videos in one post), the downloader will identify all media items in the carousel and allow you to download them all at once, saving each item individually.
Do I need an Instagram account to download content?
For public Instagram posts and Reels, you may not need an account. However, to access Stories, content from private accounts you follow, or certain restricted content, you would need to be logged into an Instagram account with appropriate permissions.
