Instagram, as one of the leading social media platforms, has to offer everything a user could possibly need - photo sharing, video sharing, Reels/IGTV, stories. Instagram, since 2012 up until now, has not created a ‘Save’ or ‘Download’ button - unlike Facebook, which has had this feature since it was created.
However, besides for taking a screenshot of the photo you want to have saved, and then cropping it, there are currently no other solutions within the app.
Luckily, TipsAbout created an online tool - Picture Downloader for Instagram, to help you save your favorite photos permanently to your device, in high quality, so you don’t have to make screenshots and lose quality on every photo you want to have saved. The tool is free, has no limits - you can download as many photos as you want to, and you won’t need any third-party apps.
TipsAbout’s Downloader is easy to use, and you’ll have your photos downloaded in 3 simple steps. Keep reading to go through the step-by-step guide.
As we mentioned, the photo downloading service is free of charge, so you can use it to save the photos you need from Instagram.
You can also learn how to download voice messages on Instagram - we share the steps for that too.
Unfortunately, due to Instagram’s privacy policy, the TipsAbout Photo Downloader will not be able to process photos from Instagram accounts that are private.
Since the downloader cannot access the link, it won’t be able to download your photo. You can always resort to different solutions for private photos, such as making a screenshot of the photo you need to have saved.
