Then, tap the icon with three horizontal bars which will open up a menu of options. Tap the wheel cog icon, which takes you to Settings. Then, tap your way through Settings, Account, and Original Photos.
Tap next to this option, which will turn it on. This works for past and future photos. Instagram warns that Android users might see a delay in photos being saved, though. Ask them, and be sure to communicate how you intend to use their photos. Take a screenshot. This might be easier.
This will save a copy of the image on your phone. Depending on your phone, you might have to crop the saved image later. Identify the image file. Then, tap the three dots displayed. Then, email it to yourself. Tap on the link, then go the post. You should be able to select View Page Source by pressing on it. A new tab will open—which displays lots of code! Use a keyword search by typing. This narrows the code down to the image file. Copy the entire line of text.
This will pull up nothing but the image. Display and downloading might be easier. This is particularly true if you hate working around a tiny screen and keyboard. Whether you choose a phone or a computer, there are still downsides. There are lots of ways to save photos to your computer. You can always screenshot and crop it later. Pick your favorite web browser and log into your Instagram account. Then, click the gear icon.
This should take you to Privacy and Security. Once you click on this, you should see a page entitled Account Privacy. Because Instagram is owned by Facebook, users have the option to download their data. This is a copy of all their messages, posts, videos, and more. Instagram has all the same data available as an option to download as well. Click on it to request a download. Confirm your identity.
Input your password and email. That tells Instagram who you are, that you have permission to view the data from this account, and where to send it. Eventually, Instagram will send a zipped file containing this information to your email. Most users report that they get an email within an hour or two. Instead of saying the person's Instagram username, it will now say instagram.
Every photo on Instagram has its own dedicated web address, and if you go directly to that address, it will just show the one photo without all the other photos in their newsfeed.
Right-click the photo and choose "Inspect" from the dropdown. This will open up Chrome's developer console. Even though Chrome DevTools are designed for software developers, don't be intimidated. You just need to click on a few specific buttons in order to find the photo.
Each photo is stored within its own folder. Start expanding these folders and you'll eventually find the full-sized photo.
Right click the file and click "open in new tab. This way, you will get the full-sized Instagram photo - the same photo that Instagram shows you in the Instagram mobile app.
This isn't a screenshot or a thumbnail - this is the full-sized image. Instagram wants for you to link back to their website instead of being able to link to the image directly. But Instagram doesn't own these images - you or whoever took the photo owns it. It is ridiculous that Instagram doesn't just let you "right-click save as" the image like other websites including freeCodeCamp.
But that's what attention-greedy social media platforms do - they make it inconvenient to just download your image. They override your browser's functionality using JavaScript. Anyway, now you can download these images. It takes a bit of work, but once you get the hang of it, you won't have to link directly to Instagram or use some screenshot tool to get these photos.
There are tools out there to download your Instagram photos in bulk. But if you're just trying to download a specific photo, this is the fastest way to do it. You don't need to install any tools or Chrome extensions. And remember - if you didn't take these photos, be sure to credit the photographer.
