Frequently asked questions
Can I save Instagram photos in original quality?
We save within the quality Instagram makes publicly available. We cannot guarantee a higher original if Instagram compresses the file.

Can I save multiple photos at once?
For carousel posts, preview each slide and download only the ones you need.
