You can also request this sizable download package through the app. Go to your profile, tap the menu icon in the upper right-hand corner and choose 'Settings'.
How you do this will depend on your browser. On Internet Explorer, you can click on the photo you want to download to view the full image, then right-click on the image and select 'View Source'. Now, simply right-click or control-click on the image and choose 'Save Image As'. The process may also work for videos depending on your browser. On Google Chrome, you can look for the source image by clicking 'Inspect', then looking for the 'V' folder under the sources tab.
Instagram allows users to bookmark any post in order to be able to find it again later, whether it's from an account you follow or not. Tap the bookmark icon below any Instagram post and it will turn black to show the post has been saved. To view or edit your bookmarked images in the Instagram app, go to your profile, tap the menu icon at the top right, then 'Saved'.
From here, you can tap the plus icon to add new collections or to move a previously saved photo to a collection. If you definitely need to download photos from Instagram rather than save them in the app but find the first two options above to be too fiddly or time-consuming, there are many third-party apps that offer workarounds.
Bear in mind that some of these require access to your account data, while others rely on heavy advertising to make their money. That may inspire more trust in terms of security. It can be used on both computers and mobiles. The downside is that you can only download one piece of media at a time.
On a desktop computer, go to the Instagram website, find the picture you want, click on the three dots at the top right above the image and choose 'Go to Post'. Click the Download button, then the Download image button to save your image. On a mobile device, open the Instagram app and find the photo you want, tap the three dots icon and choose 'copy link'. From there, follow the process as above. Other options include FastSave for Instagram , which offers a faster app-based option for downloading individual images to an Android phone with no copying or pasting needed, but you need to grant the app access to your data, and the ads can be annoying.
Two of the most popular options are 4K Stogram and Save-o-gram. Download and install 4K Stogram on your computer, open the programme then type an Instagram username, hashtag, or location into the search bar.
Click Subscribe, then the programme will search and automatically start downloading everything it finds. If you need to be more selective, Save-o-gram allows selected images to be downloaded all at once as a zip file or individually. Just click on the three vertical dots at the bottom right of the story and choose 'Save photo'. You can find old stories by going to your profile, clicking on the menu icon and selecting 'Archive'. See our guide to Instagram Stories here. The trick is to hold down one finger on the screen while you do so in order to remove the Instagram UI and get a clean shot.
Just tap and hold anywhere on the screen so that the UI overlay fades away. This also pauses the story, giving you time to take the screenshot.

This will open up Chrome's developer console. Even though Chrome DevTools are designed for software developers, don't be intimidated. You just need to click on a few specific buttons in order to find the photo. Each photo is stored within its own folder.
Start expanding these folders and you'll eventually find the full-sized photo. Right click the file and click "open in new tab. This way, you will get the full-sized Instagram photo - the same photo that Instagram shows you in the Instagram mobile app. This isn't a screenshot or a thumbnail - this is the full-sized image.
Instagram wants for you to link back to their website instead of being able to link to the image directly. But Instagram doesn't own these images - you or whoever took the photo owns it. It is ridiculous that Instagram doesn't just let you "right-click save as" the image like other websites including freeCodeCamp. But that's what attention-greedy social media platforms do - they make it inconvenient to just download your image. They override your browser's functionality using JavaScript.
Anyway, now you can download these images. It takes a bit of work, but once you get the hang of it, you won't have to link directly to Instagram or use some screenshot tool to get these photos. There are tools out there to download your Instagram photos in bulk.
But if you're just trying to download a specific photo, this is the fastest way to do it. You don't need to install any tools or Chrome extensions. And remember - if you didn't take these photos, be sure to credit the photographer.
