How to quickly and effectively download a photo from Instagram?

The social media platform Instagram does not provide users with the option to download photos posted by other people – however, saving them to the gallery is still possible! Just a few clicks are enough to have a particular photo on your phone or computer. How to download a photo from Instagram quickly and easily, using a dedicated application or website?

Your Instagram profile allows you to download photos to your phone or computer – but this only applies to photos from your own profile. If you want Instagram photos to be saved in your gallery, you don't need to use any additional applications or websites. Just go to your profile and click on the three-line icon in the top right corner. Go to Settings, Account, and then – Original Photos. It is here that you can enable the option to download photos you have published. Every photo or video you add to your profile will automatically be saved in the gallery.

Saving someone else's photo in your phone or computer gallery is not as simple as downloading photos from your own posts. Unfortunately, Instagram has not yet provided an option for quickly saving photos published by other users. However, there are certain mobile applications created specifically for this purpose, such as InstaSaver, Downloader for Instagram, or InstaSave, available on both Android and iOS. These applications allow you to download not only photos but also videos or instastories.

In addition to applications for downloading photos from Instagram, we also have special websites that allow you to save photos from other people's posts in a few simple steps. These include websites like igdownloader.com, inflact.com, or sssinstagram.com. To save a specific photo on your smartphone or computer, simply click on the three dots on the right side of the photo, and then select the 'Copy link' option. In the next step, we open one of the provided websites and paste the copied link into the designated place.

That's all – after a moment, the photo will appear in the gallery! Similar to using applications, with a website for downloading photos from Instagram, we can also download videos – such as Instagram reels – and other published files.
