Download Instagram Images and Videos with IG Downloader
Introduction
Are you tired of not being able to download your favorite Instagram images and videos? Look no further, because IG Downloader is here to make your life easier. With a total rating of 3.4, this Chrome extension has gained popularity among Instagram users who want to save content for offline viewing.
How it Works
IG Downloader enables you to download Instagram images and videos in just a few simple steps. Hover over the image on the profile page and click the download button. If you have already clicked on an image, you can download it using the button next to the bookmark icon. For bulk downloads, the download button is conveniently placed next to the follow button.
It's important to note that, due to Instagram's policies, downloading too many images at once may result in a temporary block for about five minutes. So, it's recommended to be cautious when performing bulk downloads.
If you want to save a post, you can also use the shortcut "Strg + s" to save it. For sliders, the entire slider will be downloaded to your device. Stories can be easily downloaded by opening them and clicking on the save icon.
Latest Updates
The developers of IG Downloader have been continuously improving the extension to meet the changing needs of Instagram users. The latest version, 4.8.5, includes the following changes:
- Bulk download zip filenames now reference specific account names instead of random filenames, making it easier to organize your downloaded content.
- Download post improvements have been made to enhance the overall user experience.
- Download speed has been optimized, allowing you to save Instagram images and videos faster than before.
Version 4.8.4 fixed the bulk download issue for the new Instagram layout, ensuring that you can continue downloading content seamlessly.
The previous version, 4.8.3, had a breaking change that affected bulk downloads. The developers have acknowledged the issue and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Version 4.8.2 resolved the download post issue where the download icon would not appear on hover and the post would not download upon clicking the icon.
Video download fixes were implemented in version 4.8.1, ensuring smooth and reliable video downloads.
Version 4.8.0 introduced fixes to support the new Instagram layout, including bulk downloads. The developers have worked hard to ensure compatibility with the latest changes made by Instagram.
Rest assured, IG Downloader does not collect your browsing history. The extension only requires tabs permission to send information from the background script to the content_scripts, which may trigger a warning about browsing history. Your privacy and security are of utmost importance.

- Louis Oprisa: "Does not do the thing it says it is going to do. Potentially adware or spam or something else malicious. The creator is dishonestly polluting reviews with a nonsense solution followup about 'clearing cache and being patient' -- don't listen to them. Clearing cache did nothing, this does nothing, this is not worth anybody's time."

- zerp bot: "Not working for me right now, no button at all."

30 Reviews For This Extension
it works!
and here 1k review done thank you
Works flawlessly in posts/carousels and even in popup post view from account main page or on /reel/ pages (other extensions only work on direct post view pages: /p/ pages). But it does not work for stories ("Unable to download requested story"), and I don't need it for stories (using another extension), and the buttons are obtrusive. Please fix AND please make an option to hide buttons for stories download.
Nice and easy to work
This one works for me!
Great extensions. Please make an option for download photos only or download video only, I hope ??
perfect
best
bug in arc browser, cant choose folder to download, after choose the folder its stuck cant do anything on page
Work perfectly. and very handy for regular updating of new downloadable image and reels.
The idea in itself is very powerful. Thanks a ton. Nowadays no other instagram downloader seem to work which we get from google search. This one beautifully download not just one but all the reels from a channel.
This used to be a great extension but it seems that development has ceased – it's been useless for many, many months now as portrait-oriented pics' top and bottom get cut off. I rather use Image Downloader now – it works for pretty much all images anywhere on the Web (but not for videos): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/image-downloader-save-pic/daeljdgmllhgmbdkpgnaojldjkdgkbjg
dimension of the downloaded photos seem to be bugged. The downloaded pics tend to have upper and lower parts cropped.
did work fine some weeks, then when i did try again when i press dowload all it says it is doing but no folder with the picture are popping up anymore so if it did work like it did before it would been 5 stars new updated ( 22-augt-2024 ) now when i did try it again on another chrome account it did work fine so dont know how i did fix it. new updated ( 23-aug-2024 ) seems like i did found out the problem and now it works fine so back to five stars.
works well
I like being able to save multiple images at once from the list view. 2024.08.09 It's working
Super cool
Works well but there is no option to choose what to download - just images, just videos or both.
Working as like charm
Working , 5*
works really well, i switched to it after getting temp-banned when using instaloader, hope it doesn't happen again but it so far so good
Half of photos are downloaded cropped in square format.
10/10 super easy to use and saves manual work
why is it downloading in WEBP?
Hidden gem. 10/10
The extension is great, but it looks like Instagram transitioned to the Webp format which is very annoying. If You can make it so it converts to Jpeg on download it would be great.
It works fine, and has a good UI, but I use to download videos from instagram to share them via Whatsapp. Though the file format is MP4, Whatsapp doesn't support it and I must to convert it again to MP4 (maybe another codec) with external tools before I can share it
Extension works beautifully. Oddly enough, 15 hours ago from this review, the icon to download stories was available to all accounts, followed or not, regardless how the account's stories was brought up (account's home page, search bar, or story lineup). Now the icon is no longer present in accounts that aren't followed, and the download icon for stories is only accessible to stories viewed from the story lineup. I'd appreciate if this could get looked into. Either than that, extension is a 9.5/10.
Yes, working good. I don't know why it got 3.4/5 rating. But it is absolutely fine and nothing complicated, soooo simple.
Does everything it says. Gratitude?
