How to save all of your instagram photos
How to Download All of Your Photos from Instagram
Every day, millions of pictures are published on Instagram. Maybe you follow a travel page, and you want to download its photos to make a travel inspiration album on your PC, or you want to save a copy of all photos you’ve ever shared on Instagram.
If you’ve ever tried downloading a particular Instagram photo from your feed, you would have noticed that it’s not even an option. This is because of copyright protection. However, most people only want to download photos for personal use. Maybe you have a folder on your computer where you save all images that could come in handy for your next project, or you like to keep cute jewelry ideas in one place.
There are a couple of different ways to download Instagram photos, from using only your browser to third-party apps. This article will give you detailed steps on how to download all (or single or multiple) photos from Instagram onto your PC, Mac, Android, or iPhone.
Download Your Photos Using ByClick Downloader
Perhaps you want to download your Instagram photos using the easiest method possible. If so, you only need your Instagram account and the ByClick Downloader. With only a few clicks of a button, you can download all of your Instagram photos. Here’s how:
- Install the ByClick Downloader onto your PC using this link.
- Click on Choose Folder and select your download’s destination.
- Click on Auto Detect.
- Ensure that the web browser you’re using is checked. Then, click Save.
- Open Instagram and navigate to the profile where you want to download photos. Then, click Download Photos and Videos in the pop-up that appears in the lower-left corner of your PC.
When the ByClick Downloader finishes working, your Instagram photos will be saved in the folder you selected in step 2.
How to Download All Your Instagram Photos via Browser
Maybe you want to delete your Instagram account, but you want to save your shared photos first. There’s a pretty straightforward way to do this. The steps below will show you how to save all Instagram photos, stories, or videos you’ve ever shared.
- Log in to your Instagram account on your PC.
- Click on your avatar in the top-right Menu and head over to Settings. It’s the tiny gear icon.
- On the left-hand side of the Menu, you’ll see a Privacy and Security tab. Click on it.
- Scroll to the end of the page until you get to the Data Download section.
- Click on Request Download.
- Enter the email address you want your photos delivered to.
- Click Next.
To proceed without an error message at this point, you should have cookies enabled in your browser. Also, make sure you’re not browsing in private mode. - Type your password and click on Request Download.
Instagram will email you once it finishes processing your request. This usually takes just a few minutes.
Method 2
To download specific photos from your, or any other, Instagram page, just follow these steps:
- Open the Instagram page you want to download all photos from. Scroll down to the end of the page so that all shared photos can load.
- Right-click on the white surface and select Save as.
- You want to save the link as the Web Page Complete type and then hit the Save button.
This will now download the given Instagram page’s content, including photos and an HTML file. Just remove the HTML file from the download folder, and you’ll be left with the photos only.
How to Download All Photos from Instagram on Mobile
If you want to download all photos from your Instagram page onto an Android device, just follow these steps. It’s the same steps we recommend for retrieving your data, including stories and videos as well.
- Launch Instagram on your Android device.
- Go to your page settings. You can get there by clicking on the three horizontal lines at the top right-hand side of your screen. You’ll then see a Settings button in the lower right-hand part of the side menu.
- Tap on Security from the Menu.
- Scroll to the Data and history section and tap on Download data.
- Enter your email address if it’s not already there and tap Request Download.
- Enter your password and click Next.
- Tap Done to finish.
In a matter of minutes (or sometimes hours, depending on how much data you have), you’ll receive an email with all your Instagram photos, stories, and even videos.
Alternative Mobile Method
You can also use third-party software www.downloadgram.com. However, this tool will only let you download Instagram photos individually.
- Find the picture you want to save on Instagram and tap on the three vertical dots to open the Menu.
- Choose the Copy link option.
- Open www.downloadgram.com on your phone’s browser.
- Simply paste the link you copied and hit Download > Download Image.
- Now the photo will download in your default download folder.
F.A.Q.
Can I Automatically Save Photos I Post on Instagram?
It’s fairly easy to save photos you are posting to Instagram automatically. Enabling this setting will only take a few seconds.
Just follow these steps:
- Open Instagram on your device and tap on the three horizontal lines to open the Menu.
- Go to the Settings (small gear icon).
- Tap on Account> Original Photos.
- Once there, just toggle the button so that it’s enabled. This will save all of the photos you post on Instagram on your camera roll.
Why Doesn’t Instagram Have an Easier Way to Save Photos?
The platform is strict about copyright rules. They simply don’t allow bulk downloading of photos to “protect their users’ content.”
Finishing Up
There can be dozens of reasons to download an Instagram photo. This article has discussed some of the most common ways to download all photos from your profile but also from other pages.

How to Download and Save All Your Instagram Photos
If you've used Instagram for a while, you've probably built up quite a collection of your own photos, as well as those you've saved from others.
You can always view them on your Instagram page, but what if you want to save copies as a backup?
Thankfully, it's pretty easy to save Instagram photos. We'll show you how to download and save photos from Instagram on iPhone, Android, and your PC.
How to Download All Your Instagram Photos at Once
If you want to download everything you've posted on Instagram in one go, you can use Instagram's simple tool on your computer or phone. To use it, first log into Instagram on your desktop or laptop, or open the mobile app.
On mobile, tap the Profile icon in the bottom-right, followed by the three-line Menu in the upper-right. From the menu that appears, tap Settings. Finally, choose Security > Download Data on the options menu.

On desktop, click your profile picture in the upper-right corner to open a menu, then choose Settings from that menu.
On the resulting page, choose Privacy and Security on the left side. Then scroll down to the Data Download header and click Request Download.
Either method will take you to Instagram's download request page, where you can get a copy of everything you've posted on Instagram.
Instagram says this includes all "your photos, comments, profile information, and more." This can take up to 48 hours, but shouldn't take more than a few minutes to an hour in most cases.
Your email address should already be in the field, so click Next to continue. On desktop, you can choose HTML or JSON for the format. You'll need to then enter your password, and Instagram will start generating the data.
Soon, you'll get an email with a link to everything you've ever shared on Instagram. It's only valid for a few days, so download your data quickly before it expires. This is the best way to save an archived copy of your entire Instagram profile in a short amount of time.
How to Download Instagram Photos on iPhone
Instagram doesn't provide an official way for you to download your own photos on iPhone, Android, or the web. You might be tempted to download an app that claims to do this for you, but you should stay away from most of these. Never enter your Instagram password into a third-party app, as doing so could lead to your account getting stolen.
However, some downloader apps are safe to use because they don't require your credentials. One is iGram, which works on mobile and desktop. It has some ads, but they aren't overly intrusive.
To use it, find the Instagram photo you want to download. Whether it's one of yours or someone else's, tap the three-dot button at the top-right on the post and choose Copy Link. Next, open iGram in Safari or another browser.
Tap in the URL box and choose Paste to add the link to your photo. Then press Download. After a few moments, you'll see the image appear below.
You can tap on the Download 1080w or other buttons to quickly download the file in a variety of sizes. If you prefer, long-press on the image and choose Add to Photos or Share > Save Image instead.

For future reference, you can also toggle a setting in the Instagram app to save a copy of everything you post to your phone. To enable this, tap the Profile icon in the bottom-right corner of Instagram, then open the three-line menu in the top-right. Choose Settings in the list that appears.
Choose Account > Original Photos from the list here. If you enable Save Original Photos, Instagram will save a copy of the unedited version of any photos you take with the Instagram camera. This is a good way to make sure you don't lose anything, and saves you from doing the manual method above every time.

How to Download Instagram Photos on Android
The process for download Instagram photos on Android is quite similar to the above process for iPhone.
We'll cover it again here with Android screenshots, due to a few minor differences.

Open Instagram and find the picture you want to save. Tap on the three-dot Menu button above the post and choose Copy Link to add it to your clipboard. Next, open Chrome or another browser and go to iGram.
Press and hold inside the text field to show the Paste option and tap that. Then hit Download and wait a few moments for the image to process. Scroll down and tap Download 1080w or one of the other buttons to immediately download it. If you prefer, you can also long-press on the image and choose Download image.
To find your downloaded image, tap the three-dot menu button at the top-right of Chrome and choose Downloads to view it. You can also use a file explorer app to browse to Downloads and check it there.

You'll find the same option on Android for saving a copy of all future Instagram posts, too. In the Instagram app, tap your Profile icon in the bottom-right of the app, then open the three-line menu at the top-right and choose Settings from the resulting window. On the next menu, choose Account > Original Posts.
Enable the options here to save copies of everything you post to your phone's storage. In addition to saving unedited photos, Instagram on Android lets you also choose to save the posted images and videos you put on your account.

How to Download Instagram Photos on a PC
iGram works fine on your desktop or laptop too. To use it on a desktop browser, just click the three-dot menu button on an Instagram post and choose Copy Link. Paste it into iGram to access a downloadable copy of the image, just like on mobile.
If you'd like to take a more technical route, you can use a trick to access and download Instagram images through the page's source code. To do this, first click a photo's timestamp (such as 15 Minutes Ago) to open its permanent URL. Once on that page, right-click the image and choose View page source.
In a new tab, you'll see a bunch of HTML code, but don't worry if you're not familiar with this. Press Ctrl + F to search, and enter og:image to jump to the only line that contains this text. On that line, find the URL that appears after content=. It will usually have .jpg somewhere in it; you'll need to copy the entire URL for it to work.
Copy this URL and open it in a new tab to load just the image. Then you can right-click and choose Save image as to download a copy.
How to Quickly Download Many Instagram Photos From a Profile
If you want to download many photos from one account, it's pretty slow to use the above methods for each image.
There are other Instagram downloader websites that let you quickly download many images from a profile.
They're not perfect—most of them don't let you download more than a handful of images in one session, or charge you to download everything from an account. But if you want to download a few recent posts from an account, it's faster to use a service like Bigbangram or Ingramer.
These both offer a Download profile option that loads all recent images from a user and lets you click Download to grab their photos in quick succession. Give it a try if you find the above too slow.
Don't Forget About Bookmarking Images on Instagram
While it's not the same as downloading, you can also hit the Bookmark icon on a post to save it for later. You can access all your saved bookmarks by tapping on the three-line menu on your profile page and choosing Saved.
Bookmarking on Instagram allows you to jump back to a photo without copying the link or downloading it.
These are only visible to you; nobody else can see your saved posts on Instagram.
Keep in mind that that bookmarks are only shortcuts to existing posts on Instagram. If the owner takes down a photo you've saved, the bookmark won't work anymore.
Unfortunately, there is no way to download all your saved photos on Instagram at once. Some third-party software exists for this, but as mentioned, you should be careful about trusting these apps since they can compromise your Instagram account.
In addition to the default Saved list, you can create and manage additional Collections on this page. These are handy for collecting posts around a certain theme, such as ideas for a wedding.

When you tap the Bookmark icon on an Instagram post, you can then choose Save to Collection to put it somewhere else. Tap a collection from the list that appears, or hit the Plus icon to make a new one.
Saving and Downloading Instagram Photos Made Easy
We've covered how to download everything you've posted to Instagram, how to save a copy of other people's photos, and even how to grab an image from the source code on desktop. These methods should allow you to download pretty much any photo on Instagram.
There are lots of other ways to become an Instagram pro beyond just saving photos, though.
6 ways with detailed instructions
Good afternoon, friends.
The Instagram social network is developing rapidly, new functionality appears regularly, errors and problems are fixed. However, each program has its limitations. They can be a flaw of the creators or their conscious decision.
The lack of a direct ability to download photos from Instagram is a feature of this platform. And this can be understood. People are more willing to post pictures knowing that no one will be able to use them. However, there are workarounds that can be done.
We’ll talk about this today and find out how to save photos from Instagram.
Content
Remember, if Instagram is blocked in any country, you can always access it via VPN.
Saving all photos by email
1. Go to the menu, select the item "Your activity".
2. Click "Download Information".
3. Specify your email address to which to send the photo archive.
4. We go through the protection of information by entering the password for your account.
5. We are waiting for the archive to the mail.
Saving your photos in your phone
Solving this problem is quite simple. We go to the application on a mobile device.
Swipe the screen from right to left and at the bottom of the panel that opens, click on the gear icon.
Go to the "Original Publications" section on an Android phone or "Original Photos" on iPhones. Here we set the levers to the desired position to save photos and videos on the device.
This is the only way to download images provided by Instagram itself. Everything else is sleight of hand and our resourcefulness.
You can make a free analysis of subscribers through the InstaHero service. You will find out why coverage is falling, who your audience is and what type of content will go best .
Taking a screenshot
This is an accessible way for everyone to copy a photo from someone else's Instagram profile. You can do this on different devices.
On the phone
To take a screenshot, you need to press a specific button or key combination. They differ depending on the brand and model of the gadget. I have an Asus phone, in it I need to press and hold the "Recent Documents" button in the lower right corner.
Possible combinations on phones from other manufacturers:
- screen lock + volume down - they are usually located on the side panel of the device;
- Long press the power button until the menu appears;
- menu button + "Back";
- in iPhones, press the round "Home" button in combination with the lock located on the side of the gadget.
If you can't find the combination or magic button you want, go to the Play Store or App Store and download one of the apps:
- ScreenMaster, Screenshot Easy, Screenshot Pro, Lightshot for Android, or Screen Capture for Windows phones.
Screenshots are saved in a folder with all photos or in a separate section in the gallery.
Please note that everything that is currently visible on the screen will be saved and you may have to crop the picture. I will talk about this further.
Computer
We have an article on our blog about how to take high-quality screenshots. It discusses 5 methods with details and explanations. I will show one of them, which is available to everyone without installing additional programs.
Find the desired photo in the web version of Instagram and press the "Prt Sc" button on the keyboard. It is located at the very top closer to the right edge. Now we go to the Start menu, which is hidden under the Windows icon in the lower left corner of the screen.
And we find the standard program Paint.
Press the key combination "Ctrl" + "V" or find the button "Paste" or "Paste" in the top panel. A screen image should appear in front of us, including the photo we want to save.
We copied the entire screen, but we only need a photo. Therefore, we cut off everything unnecessary. To do this, click on the option "Select" or "Select" and outline the desired area.
Press the key combination "Ctrl" + "C". Then we open a new document.
Click "Insert" and save the resulting image. If it turned out to be smaller than the white field, we remove the empty space for the lower right corner.
Everything, it remains only to save the photo.
Use the address bar
This is a very simple option. Open the post on the web version of Instagram. In the address bar, after the url, add "media? size = l" without quotes.
Press "Enter". The desired photo will appear on the screen.
Right-click on the image and select "Save Image As..."0003
Uploading images through the page code
This method is available only on a computer, I did not manage to perform such a trick on my phone. Open the publication in the web version of the social network, press the right mouse button, then "Page source code".
In the new window, press the combination of buttons "Ctrl" + "F". A search bar will appear at the bottom or top. In it we write "display_resources". The program will highlight the text. We need to copy the line next to this inscription, starting with "https" and ending with "cdninstagram.com" and paste it into the address bar of the browser.
The photo will open. We call the context menu, "Save image as ..." Done, we uploaded a photo from Instagram.
Programs and services
Until now, we have used the tools available to any person on the phone and computer. But there are also specially created programs for downloading photos from Instagram.
Let's consider some of them.
Browser extension
When I need a full version of the application on my computer, I use the Google Chrome extension. To download it, go to the menu, "Additional tools", "Extensions".
Next, click on the 3 bars in the upper left corner and at the bottom click on the link "Open the Chrome Web Store". In the search bar we write "instadesktop". Installing the extension.
After that, an icon will appear on top.
Click on it. We see an image of a phone with a full-fledged version of Instagram and a nice bonus: each photo has a button for downloading it.
Phone programs
There are applications for iPhones and Android devices. All you need to do is go to Play Store or App Store and install one of them:
- InstaSave,
- FastSave,
- QuickSave,
- iSave and others.
They work on approximately the same principle. We go to Instagram, open the publication, click on the three dots next to it and select "Copy link".
Then we go to the application for downloading, insert the address of the publication. After a few simple steps, the photo becomes available for saving.
The simplest and most stable application at the moment is FastSave for Android. Try it in action.
Online services
To download photos from Instagram, it is not necessary to install programs, you can use online services. The most popular resources for this are:
- InstaGrabber.ru,
- instagramgrabber.net,
- savefrominsta.com,
- zasasa.com, www.igrab.ru
- .
They have the same principle. I will show you on the example of the InstaGrabber service.
First, we go to the web version of Instagram and open the post we are interested in. Copy the address from the browser line and paste it into the line on the site instagrabber.ru. And then click on the arrow.
The photo from the publication will appear on the screen. It remains only to click on the "Download photo" button.
How to save other people's posts on Instagram without downloading
If you don't need to download photos to your device, but just save them as a bookmark on your Instagram, click the checkbox under the post you like.
Saved posts can be seen in your profile. On your phone, swipe from right to left and select the appropriate section.
On the web version of Instagram, you just need to go to the "Saved" tab.
To split posts into topics and put them into folders, click on the checkbox and hold this position. A window will appear where you can select a directory or create a new one and save the entry to it. The nice thing is that no one can see these posts on your profile.
Conclusion
So we've covered all the basic ways to copy photos from Instagram. Let me briefly list them again:
- Save your pictures with appropriate settings.
- Take screenshots.
- Add "media?size=l" to the end of the url.
- Extract photos from page code.
- Use third-party services and programs.
- Copy entire posts to your profile.
Use caution when using unverified software. Install a reliable antivirus and, if possible, do not enter data from your main social network account. And remember that all materials published by users on Instagram are protected by law as objects of copyright.
Write in the comments which method you liked best and suited you, what questions remained, what difficulties you encountered.
And I say goodbye to you. Goodbye friends.
