Short answer: Copy the link of the photo post, open QuickReel's photo downloader, paste the link and click Find media. You get each picture as its own JPG file, so a carousel with five photos gives you five downloads.
Save Instagram photos in 4 steps
- In Instagram, open the post, tap the paper-plane icon, and choose Copy link.
- Open the Instagram photo downloader.
- Paste the link and click Find media.
- Download each photo you want. Every picture appears as its own item.
Carousel posts
A post with several pictures gives you every photo as a separate file, in the order they appear. If the post mixes photos and videos, the videos come as MP4 files.
Quality
You get the picture as Instagram serves it, usually larger and sharper than a screenshot. Photos are saved as JPG files, and nothing is added on top.
Good manners
Save photos for yourself, or for your own backups. Ask the owner before you share or reuse someone else's picture. See our short guide on downloading responsibly.
