ONE LINK, EVERY SLIDE
How to Download a Carousel Post
You don't need a separate link for each slide. One link to the post brings up all of them.
Copy the Link From Any Slide
It doesn't matter which slide is on screen; the link always opens the whole post. In the app, tap the paper-plane icon and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the address from the top of your browser.
On a computer the address changes a little as you click through the slides, and a link copied from someone's profile page includes their username. Every version works, and the gallery always starts at the first slide.
Paste It and Open the Gallery
Put the link in the box at the top of this page and tap Download. Instead of one preview, you see a grid with all the slides and a line above it such as “5 slides in this post”.
Save One Slide or All of Them
Each slide in the grid has its own Download button. To save everything at once, tap Download All above the grid and you get one ZIP file with every slide inside.
On a phone the buttons are always visible. On a computer, move your mouse over a slide to see its button. A ZIP is a single file with all the slides packed inside; most phones can open it from the Files app.
INSIDE THE GALLERY
What You Get From Each of the Slides
Photo slides save as JPG
Each photo slide is saved as a JPG at the biggest size Instagram has for it. To learn how photo size works, see the Instagram Photo Downloader page.
Video slides save as MP4
In the grid, a video slide looks like a still picture with a play symbol on it. Its Download button saves the real video, sound included, as an MP4, not that still picture.
Slide order is kept
The grid follows the order you swipe through on Instagram, left to right and top to bottom. The files are numbered the same way, so file 1 is always the slide people see first, even when it is a video sitting between photos.
TWO WAYS TO SAVE
A Single Slide or the Whole Carousel Post
| Download on a slide | Download All | |
|---|---|---|
| You get | That one slide | Every slide, in one ZIP file |
| File type | JPG for a photo, MP4 for a video | A ZIP with each slide inside as its own JPG or MP4 |
| Best for | Picking out one or two slides | Saving the whole post at once |
While the ZIP is being made, the button reads Zipping…. A post with several videos takes longer than one with only photos, so keep the page open until the download starts. Either way, nothing is changed: photos and videos reach you exactly as Instagram sent them.
PRIVATE, REMOVED OR STUCK
When a Carousel Won't Open
Instagram decides what our server can see. Here are the messages you might get and what to do about them.
“This looks like private content — opening the Private Story Downloader…”
Instagram wouldn't show this post to us. That happens with private accounts and also with posts that were deleted or archived, and Instagram doesn't tell us which one it is. The page moves you to the private downloader, which can only open what your own Instagram account is allowed to see.
“This post is from a private account. Only posts from public accounts can be downloaded here.”
Some links shared from a private account only open for that account's followers. This page isn't a follower, so it can't open them.
“Could not create the ZIP. Please try downloading images individually.”
Download All stopped before the ZIP was finished. The Download button on each slide still works, so save them one by one, or paste the link again a bit later and try Download All once more.
CAROUSEL FAQ
Questions About Carousel Downloads
Why did I get one preview instead of a gallery?
Sometimes Instagram doesn't give us every slide; it may leave out a video, for example. Rather than show a gallery with a slide missing, the page shows the single item it did get. We remember each answer for about ten minutes, so wait that long before trying the same link again.
Why do some slides look cropped in the gallery?
The gallery shows every slide as a square so the grid lines up neatly. Only the preview is cut; the file you download is the full slide, tall or wide.
Can I get the sound from a video slide?
There is no MP3 button in the gallery. Paste the same link into the MP3 audio downloader instead. It takes the post's song if Instagram has one, and otherwise the sound of the first video slide. A carousel of only photos with no song has no sound to save.
Is there a limit on how many slides I can save?
Instagram allows up to 20 slides in one post, and this Instagram carousel downloader shows every slide Instagram gives us. Download All fits up to 50 files, so even a full carousel goes into one ZIP.
Can I share the slides I downloaded?
The slides still belong to whoever made them. Keep them for yourself; to post them again, especially as your own carousel, ask the creator first.
