How to save images from Instagram?

Are you curious about Instagram photo-saving options? Everyone’s go-to app for sharing photos is lacking a crucial component. The settings for saving your own postings are straightforward, but downloading a high-quality JPG version of a photo from someone else’s account can be more complicated.

Of course, that’s on purpose; if you didn’t take the picture, you can’t legally use it. Luckily there’s still a way to save such photos using a web browser. We’ll walk you through the process of saving images from Instagram, both your own and those of others.

Is there a reason I can’t download Instagram photos?

Because of copyright regulations, Instagram makes it hard to save photo posts. You have the right to the content of every Instagram photo or video you create. If you’re the content creator, you have the right to stop other people from sharing or copying your media. Instagram prevents copyright infringement by disabling the option to store photographs within the app in an effort to control the actions of its 1 billion users. An explanation of Instagram’s copyright policies is provided below.
