Instagram images
Photos are already files. This tool is for video and audio.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
Photos, thumbnails and profile pictures are all the same case
They are images at public addresses on Instagram’s CDN. A browser saves any of them in one gesture at the resolution Instagram serves, and routing that through a server adds a wait and an advertisement.
A carousel that mixes photos and a video resolves here to the video; the stills you save directly.
The size you get is the size they serve
Instagram re-encodes images on upload like it does video, so the file on their CDN is already smaller than what was uploaded. No tool recovers the original — and any site claiming a "full size" profile picture is serving the same file under a louder name.
Frequently asked questions
Will you add image downloading?
There is nothing to add. The browser already does it, at the same quality.
