Saving a photo from Instagram can be tricky since the platform does not offer a built-in option for downloading images directly. However, here are 7 effective ways to save an Instagram photo:

1. Screenshot & Crop
- The simplest method is to take a screenshot and crop out unwanted elements.
- Works on both mobile (Android, iPhone) and PC (Windows, Mac) using built-in screenshot tools.
2. Using Instagram’s “Save” Feature (Not for Downloading)
- Tap the bookmark icon below the post to save it to your Saved Collection within Instagram.
- While this doesn’t download the photo, you can revisit it anytime in your profile.
3. Download Instagram Photos via Page Source (PC Only)
- Open the Instagram post in a web browser.
- Right-click on the page and select View Page Source (Ctrl+U in Chrome).
- Search for “.jpg” or “.png” URLs.
- Copy and paste the image link into a new tab, then right-click → Save As.
4. Use Online Instagram Downloaders
- Websites like SaveInsta, DownloadGram, or iGram allow you to paste the post URL and download images directly.
- Simply copy the Instagram link, paste it on the site, and hit download.
5. Use a Third-Party App (Mobile & PC)
- Apps like Repost for Instagram (iOS/Android) or 4K Stogram (Windows/Mac) let you download Instagram photos.
- Be careful when granting permissions and avoid apps that require login credentials.
6. Using Telegram Bots
- Some Telegram bots (like InstaSave Bot) allow you to download Instagram photos.
- Just send the post link, and the bot will return a downloadable image.
7. Save Instagram Photos via Bookmarking in Browser
- If you want to access an image later without downloading, you can bookmark the post in your browser.
- This method works best for quickly revisiting posts without cluttering your device storage.
Important Note
- Always respect copyright laws and the content creator’s rights.
- Do not download and use photos for commercial purposes without permission.
