A screenshot of an Instagram photo brings along the interface, the caption and a cropped frame. Downloading the image file is cleaner. Paste the link of a public photo post and this page gives you the picture itself, saved to your device as an image you can file in a folder or drop into a design.
It is handy for rebuilding a portfolio, recovering product shots you only have on your profile, or collecting your own posts for a media kit. The image comes from Instagram to you without stopping on our servers. One short ad shows before the download, and that is what keeps the tool free.

Questions and answers
Why not just take a screenshot?
A screenshot captures your screen, not the photo: it includes buttons and usually trims the edges. Here you receive the image file that Instagram serves for the post, with no interface around it, which is better for editing or printing a portfolio.
Can I download a profile picture or a Story photo?
No. This page works with photos published as public feed posts, which have their own link. Stories and Highlights are not supported, and we do not offer profile picture downloads either.
The post has several photos. What do I do?
Paste the same link. When a post has more than one image, every item is listed with its own download button. There is a page on this site dedicated to carousels with more details about how the items are shown.
Can I download photos from a private profile?
No. The tool has no login, so it can only read posts that are open to everyone. If the account is private, the link returns nothing, even if you follow that person.
Can I post a photo I saved here?
If the photo is yours, of course. If it is from another photographer or brand, you need their permission before publishing it, and credit is the least you should give. Saving does not transfer any rights over the image.
Which format does the photo come in?
You get the image file as Instagram delivers it for that post, normally a JPG that opens on any phone or computer. We do not convert, compress or add anything to the picture.
