Post links, not reels or stories
A feed post uses instagram.com/p/ followed by a short code. That is the link this page expects. A reel uses /reel/ or /reels/. A story uses /stories/ or a short /s/ link. If you paste one of those here, open the Reels downloader or the Story downloader so the instructions match the file you are trying to save.
Copy the link from the post's share sheet or from the three-dot menu. A screenshot of the photo has no address. The username in your browser bar, with no /p/ code, is a profile. Profiles are collections of posts, and this tool does not walk a profile to pull every upload.
Carousels and mixed posts
A carousel is several photos, several videos, or a mix. Instagram still treats it as one post, with one link. After you paste that link, each slide is listed on its own card. You can save the second photo without saving the first, or save them one after another.
Collaborative posts and posts with a product tag still resolve from the same /p/ link when the post is public. The tag and the caption are not separate downloads. You get the media file. Alt text and the caption stay on Instagram.
Public only, original size only
Private accounts, close-friends posts, and anything that shows a login wall are not fetched. Do not paste a password. If a private window cannot view the post, neither can this page.
The image or video is the file the public page returns. We do not upscale a compressed photo into a fake original, and we do not strip another creator's watermark by repainting the picture. If Instagram only published a smaller rendition, that is the file you can save.
How to save a public post
Step 1
Copy the /p/ link
Open the post, tap Share or the three dots, and choose Copy link. Check that the address contains /p/ and a short code, not /reel/ or /stories/.
Step 2
Paste it above
Press Download. A carousel returns one card per slide. A single photo or video returns that file.
Step 3
Save the slide you need
Preview each item. Pick a quality when more than one is offered, then save it to your device.

Instagram post questions
Can I download a private Instagram post?
No. If the post asks you to log in, this page stops. It does not accept an Instagram password.
How do carousels download?
Each slide is listed separately. Save one photo or video at a time from the same post link.
Where do I put a reel link?
Use the Instagram Reels Downloader. This page is for /p/ posts.
Can I download a whole profile?
No. Paste one post link. A username page is not a file.
