How to Download an Instagram Carousel
Copy the carousel link
Open the public multi-slide post, tap Share and choose Copy link.
Paste the post URL
Paste the URL above and select Download. ig.tools will read the carousel container.
Download selected slides
Review the ordered cards, select the slides you want, then download them together in one ZIP.
Complete, ordered carousel results
ig.tools returns a carousel only when it can identify the complete available item list. It does not replace missing slides with a cover image.
Photos and videos in one post
Instagram carousels can contain only photos, only videos or a mixture of both. The result keeps the original media type and slide order so you can tell which file belongs where.
Image variants show their available dimensions. Video files use the progressive MP4 supplied by Instagram and are checked for audio when downloaded.
How carousel files are saved
Each slide has its own preview and download button. Select several slides to save them together in one ZIP, or save them individually.
ZIPs are created in your browser and have a 128 MB limit. Items that do not fit are skipped, while later files that fit can still be added. Media files are fetched directly from Instagram or Meta’s CDN whenever the browser allows it.
If one carousel slide is unavailable
ig.tools only returns a carousel when it can identify the complete available item list. A missing, expired or blocked slide makes the post unavailable instead of silently replacing it with the cover image.
Resolve the link again when a previously visible item stops loading. If Instagram still does not expose every slide to an anonymous visitor, the carousel cannot be downloaded reliably from this tool.

Instagram Carousel Downloader FAQ
Back to the downloaderCan I download all photos from an Instagram carousel?
Yes. ig.tools displays every available slide in order. Select all slides to save them in one ZIP, or choose individual items to download separately.
Do mixed carousels support both photos and videos?
Yes. A mixed post produces separate image and video cards while preserving the Instagram order.
Can I download the whole carousel as a ZIP?
Yes. Select the slides you want and choose Download selected as ZIP. The archive is created in your browser and is limited to 128 MB.
Why is a carousel incomplete or unavailable?
Instagram may block anonymous access or change the data it returns. ig.tools fails the resolve instead of knowingly presenting a partial carousel as complete.
Can I download a private carousel?
No. Only carousel posts publicly accessible without Instagram credentials are supported.
