How to Download a Whole Instagram Profile — Step-by-Step User Guide
Step-by-step guide to download entire Instagram profiles — photos, videos and Reels — in HD quality with no watermark. Works with any public account. Faster than any manual method.
Install Chrome Extension
Required to download Instagram boards. Download it free from Chrome Web Store.
How to Download Instagram Photos, Videos & Reels
Three steps to download any Instagram profile — photos, videos and Reels — as an organized ZIP file
Install the Chrome Extension & Sign In
First, add IgDownCloud to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store (it's free). Then sign in using your Google or Microsoft account — it takes under 30 seconds. The Chrome extension is your bridge between Instagram and our cloud download service — it detects the profile you're visiting and automatically connects to our servers.
💡 Tips
- •The extension is completely free and secure — it only reads Instagram profile URL data
- •Install once and it updates itself automatically
- •Make sure you’re logged into Instagram in the same browser
Go to Your Instagram Profile and Open the Extension
Navigate to any public Instagram profile you want to download and open the IgDownCloud extension. It picks up the account automatically and shows how many posts are available. Works with any type of profile — photographers, brands, inspiration accounts — even profiles with thousands of posts. The account must be public; private profiles can't be downloaded.
💡 Tips
- •The URL should look like: instagram.com/username
- •You can download any public profile, even if it’s not yours
- •Large profiles with 10,000+ posts work fine — they just take a bit longer
Click Download — Cloud Servers Do the Rest
Click download in the extension and our cloud servers start pulling every photo, video and Reel from that profile. You can track progress in real-time from your dashboard and we'll email you when the ZIP is ready. No need to keep your browser open — the whole download runs on our servers, not your computer.
💡 Tips
- •Track progress in real-time from your dashboard
- •You’ll receive an email notification when the ZIP is ready
- •Use 'Only New' to skip posts you've already downloaded
Download Your Organized ZIP
Once complete, download your ZIP file — every image and video neatly organized and numbered in the order they appear on the Instagram profile. Full HD quality, no watermarks, ready to drop into Figma, Canva, Notion or Adobe Creative.
💡 Tips
- •ZIP files are available for 60 minutes after creation to manage server storage
- •You can re-download the same profile any time for free from your download history
