Instagram Photo Downloader
Every slide of a carousel, in full size.
Only save content you own or have permission to use.
TapDL’s Instagram photo downloader saves pictures from any public Instagram post in full size, including every slide of a carousel. Paste the post link above and tap Download. Photos save as JPG files to your camera roll or Downloads folder. Free, no login and no app.
How to download Instagram photos
- Copy the post link. Tap the paper-plane Share icon under the post and choose Copy link.
- Paste it here. Tap Paste in the box above.
- Save the photo. Tap Download. Each image appears as a card; tap Save to phone on the ones you want.
Download every photo in an Instagram carousel
Carousels can hold up to 20 photos and videos. Paste the carousel link once and every slide shows up in order, numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on. Swipe through and save the ones you want, or all of them. Videos inside a carousel save as MP4 and photos as JPG.
Full-size Instagram pictures, not screenshots
A screenshot captures your screen, including the status bar and buttons, and loses detail. TapDL downloads the actual image file Instagram stores, usually 1080 pixels wide, so it’s sharper and ready to print, crop or edit.
| Post shape | Typical size you get |
|---|---|
| Square | 1080 × 1080 |
| Portrait (4:5) | 1080 × 1350 |
| Landscape | 1080 × 566 |
| Tall portrait (3:4) | 1080 × 1440 |
How to download pictures from Instagram on iPhone, Android and PC
iPhone: in Safari, tap Save to phone, then Save Image to put it in Photos. Android: tap Save to phone; the JPG goes to Gallery and Downloads. PC or Mac: Instagram blocks right-click saving, so copy the post address, paste it here and click Download.
Using downloaded Instagram photos
- Your own posts: back them up, print them or repost them anywhere.
- Inspiration and mood boards: fine for private reference.
- Reposting others’ photos: ask permission and credit the photographer. Photos are protected by copyright the moment they’re taken.
Download Instagram pictures from posts with videos
Many posts mix photos and short videos. When you download Instagram pictures from a mixed post, TapDL shows each item separately and labels it Photo or Video, so you only save what you need. Photos keep their original aspect ratio, so square, portrait and landscape posts look the way the creator intended.

| Editing needed | None | Cropping |
Photo not downloading?
- The account is private, so the post can’t be loaded.
- You copied a profile link instead of a post link.
- The post was deleted or archived by its owner.
For videos and reels from the same post, use the Instagram video downloader. For stories, try the Instagram story viewer.
