How to Download Instagram Photos
Copy the photo post link
Open the public Instagram photo, tap Share and copy its link.
Paste the Instagram URL
Paste the post link into the downloader and select Download.
Preview and save the photo
Preview the image and download the largest available source file to your device.
Save available image files without resizing
ig.tools saves the largest available image source supplied by Instagram and does not enlarge, crop or recompress it on the server.
Photo dimensions
The downloader shows the pixel dimensions reported for the available source when Instagram provides them.
The downloaded image comes directly from Instagram or Meta’s CDN. It is not a screenshot and ig.tools does not create an artificial 4K version.
Single images and carousel photos
A normal photo post produces one media card. A carousel produces separate cards in the original slide order, including any videos mixed with the photos.
Download one item directly or select multiple carousel items to package them into one browser-created ZIP. Whole-account downloads are not supported.
Saving the available photo
The download button uses the largest available source URL returned for the post. If dimensions are available, they are shown on the media card for reference.
ig.tools does not resize or recompress the image before your browser saves it.
