How to Save a Picture from Instagram

Quick ways to download Instagram photos onto your PC, Mac, or mobile device

If you want to save a photo someone else posted on Instagram, you have several options. You can use a third-party downloading app such as ToolZu, Downloader for Instagram if you're using Android, or Reposter for Instagram if you're using iOS. If you don't want to use a third-party website, you can easily screenshot the photo whether you're using a PC, Mac, or mobile device. This wikiHow will show you several of the easiest ways to save photos from Instagram to your computer, phone, or tablet.

[Edit]Things You Should Know

  • Download ToolZu. Open Instagram and copy the URL of the photo you want to download. Paste the URL into ToolZu and click "Download".
  • Use Downloader for Instagram if you have an Android. Copy the URL for the image you'd like to download, click "CHECK URL" > "SAVE IMAGE" > "Download".
  • Use Reposter for Instgram if you have an iPhone. Click "Preview Photo or Video" and the sharing icon. Then, hit "Open in Browser" >"Save Image".

[Edit]Using Toolzu on a Computer, Phone, or Tablet

  1. Go to https://toolzu.com/downloader/instagram/photo/ in a web browser. You can use a free, ad-supported website called Toolzu to download Instagram photos on your computer, phone, or tablet.

    • The tool is totally free, but you won't be able to download images from private, friends-only accounts.[1]
    • There are many websites that allow you to download Instagram photos, but some last longer than others. If you don't want to use Toolzu, you'll usually find alternatives by searching for "Instagram photo downloader" on Google.
