# Instagram photo downloader

Use the Instagram photo downloader to save public photos and carousel slides at the highest available resolution. Paste your post link.

## How to use it

1. Copy the link to the public Instagram photo post or carousel you want to save.
2. Paste the post link here to load its photos and videos.
3. Choose each photo or carousel slide you want, then save its file.

### Is 1080x1350 a 4x5 ratio?

Yes, 1080 x 1350 pixels has a 4:5 aspect ratio. It is the standard portrait feed format and the recommended size for portrait images. The ratio describes the image's shape; the pixel dimensions describe its size. Check the downloaded file's dimensions when they are shown.

### How do I get my full picture to fit on Instagram?

Prepare the picture in a shape suited to the feed format you want, using the square, portrait, or landscape dimensions in the table on this page. Check the composition before publishing, especially details near the edges. This downloader saves the version Instagram serves; it does not restore parts cropped out of the published photo.

### Does it get every slide of a carousel?

Yes, each carousel slide appears as its own downloadable item. Photos and videos are handled separately, so a mixed carousel can return image files alongside MP4 videos. Choose the slides you want and save them individually. Video items also include a cover image, and dimensions appear when they are available.

### Does it work on private accounts?

No, this downloader works only with public accounts and public posts. Paste a link to a publicly available photo post, carousel, Reel, or video to retrieve its media. A link to a private post does not give the tool access to it, and entering your account password is not an option here.

### Do I need an Instagram login?

No, you do not need to log in to Instagram to use this downloader. This page takes a public post link, not your Instagram credentials. Paste the link, load the available media, and save the individual files you need. Ganicly never asks for your Instagram password.

### Do you keep the files?

No, Ganicly does not store the media files retrieved from your pasted post link. The files are passed through from Instagram's own servers when you open or save them. The downloadable version is the one Instagram makes available for that post, rather than a separate media archive kept by Ganicly.

### It is my account and I do not want it here

You can ask for your account to be excluded through the contact page. Include the account handle and explain that you are the account owner requesting exclusion. That gives the team the account details needed to handle your request. You do not need to share your Instagram password.

### Can I download Instagram photos in their original quality?

You can download the highest-resolution version Instagram serves for the post. That is not necessarily the original file uploaded by the photographer. Instagram compresses images, so a downloaded copy may differ from the source file. Use the displayed dimensions, when available, to check the version returned.
