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.

Clearing cache did nothing, this does nothing, this is not worth anybody's time."

30 Reviews For This Extension
Good extension but while trying to download the whole profile it just shows a text file for some pictures. Failed to fetch error. File says extension needs an update
It works baby, downloaded individual photo and the whole account
i like it
best downloader for insta web
really nice
It can download a whole profile and everything, I tried using Image Search addon on Chrome but honestly that would take forever. Luckily this seems to work perfectly, the videos and images all can be downloaded so easily. I would like to add I haven't used it for an extended amount of time so I don't know if there's ads or a time limit like many websites I've tried in the past. But works right now out of the box, without paying for a preimum features or rank!
Broken "Could not find slider index.".
The download icon has disappeared from the reels page.
Not working on reels page anymore, will update review if it gets fixed
yh it used to work but it doesn't work anymore for the reels page. you need to fix that
It works as intended but DO NOT do it from ur real IG it will get banned lol, but thats fair.
It works well but reels I download are usually out of sync with the audio
There are some problems with this extension. For example, when trying to download everything, only the posts from the Instagram profile post section are getting downloaded, the posts from the reels section are not getting downloaded and finally the highlights of the stories are also not getting downloaded. Please try to bring a new version or update of it as soon as possible, many people have submitted a complete report of this problem in your review section, I hope you will find some solution to this problem soon. Your extension deserves a 5/5 star rating but there are some problems with it. I have suggested this extension to many of my friends and cousins and their experience with this extension has also been very good. It is easy to use as compared to other extensions.
Instagram has increased its photo limit per post to 20, but the extension’s "Download Post" button still only downloads the first 10. Please update the extension to accommodate the new post limit. Appreciate all the work you put into this!
Perfect. But as of 22/04/2025 the "Download all" button doensn't work. Hope you'll fix it. -Keep the exstention updated, it's the best!! ❤️
had to put a start cause i couldnt post a 0 star, doesnt work no more WHY
Some people have no lives and would rather ratings bomb a good extension. The extension works as of April 18, 2025 at 3:56 PM Eastern. Some profiles won't show the "Download All" button unless you're following that account. I just realized that. You ALSO have to make sure the folder the extension is set to download to actually EXISTS, otherwise it won't download. It is spelling and punctuation sensitive. I don't work for/with those who maintain this extension. But let me also add, you should NOT have to download any other browser, including Brave. I'm using MacOS. But I'll check this on Windows to see what happens. Some folks are reporting a notice to download Brave. That sounds like these individuals may have viruses or infections on their machines not associated with this extension. Lastly, let me just say the reason I'm writing all of this is becaause it is annoying when good extensions get taken down from Chrome, and Firefox doesn't have the best alternatives. Then I'm forced to go into Bash, Python or NPM to download and that is an even bigger headache. We should be decent people and support what works, and be honest and vocal about bad extensions and bad actors, instead of jeopardizing the community. Turbo Downloader has consistently been one of the better extensions.
doesnt work
Works great for me
worked for like 5 mins now wont even mass download
please this is good don't change anything just update for bug fixes only.. and don't get lost again or blocked by google like other extensions this is very good.. thank you
Works perfectly, feels like a site feature.
Nice! Works on pictures, reels and stories!
messes up the audio sometimes (slight jumps a few seconds in)
super awesome
Can't download stories. The button appears to download all stories, but it says it's unable to and that I need to refresh. So I do, then it doesn't appear. After multiple attempts to get it back, I try again, only to be told that it's unable to and to refresh. Can't even download a single story. Since this is all I need from an extension, this wasn't worth it.
now I am using Opera, it is working well
Always worked like a charm. Now it stopped working.
Doesn't work on stories.
Works perfectly, exactly what I was looking for. I don't understand the low rating, not a single thing wrong with this extension. Thanks!
