Frequently asked questions

Can I download all photos in an Instagram carousel?

When Instagram exposes the carousel media publicly, Content Tools can return the available items from the post rather than only the first image.

What image quality will I get?

The result depends on the versions Instagram makes available for the public post. It cannot restore resolution that Instagram compressed or the creator never uploaded.

Can I download a profile picture with this tool?

This page is designed for public photo and carousel post URLs, not private profile data or account lookup.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Use the page in your mobile browser, then save the returned image with your device's normal download or share controls.

Can I download photos from a private account?

No. Private, restricted, deleted, and paid content is not supported.

May I repost a downloaded photo?

Only when you own it, have permission, or another lawful basis applies. Downloading a file does not grant reuse rights.
