How to save photos from Instagram

Instagram logo on iPhone with Instagram website in background.

Wondering how to save photos from Instagram? Unfortunately, there’s no built-in feature in the app that allows you to directly download images from other users' accounts. While it's easy to save your own posts, downloading a high-resolution .JPG from another user's feed is more complicated. 

This limitation exists because, in most cases, you don’t own the copyright to those photos. However, if you’re determined to save them for personal use, there’s still a way to do it through your web browser. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to save photos from Instagram, whether it’s your own content or someone else’s.
