5. Save the script (Ctrl+S).
6. Visit any profile to verify the installation (Download button should appear next to the Follow or Following button).

Output:
Each profile can contain the following directories based on its contents:

- Images - All images are written to this directory.
- Videos - All videos are written to this directory.

Chrome
For Chromium based browsers, the files are not zipped and written directly to Instagram folder.

Example: The profile

will be downloaded to:

Default Browser Download Folder/Instagram/itskaslol

Firefox
For some reason, Firefox doesn't allow writing to custom directories so the profile is zipped.

Example: The profile

will be downloaded to:

Default Browser Download Folder/itskaslol.zip

Limitations:
1. When navigating to a different profile, the download button does not appear. Simply refresh the page and the download button should appear. This will be addressed soon.

No downloader/program can do this.
You have to be logged in, as backwards mentions not being logged out

For some reason, when i press the download button, it would just stay at resolved "the total amount of post" and that is it. Is there any fixes for this? I have tried both on google chrome and brave as well

 

[CLENYCLEB]

Worked great for first profile, tried on second and third profile immediately after and receive notifications of 'resolving posts' however no download ensues.

 

[padgame]

Does this method still work? I dont see a download button appear after install.

It's only one way I have seen working so far without being disabled. Unfortunately, it's using a closed source program. As some open source programs are getting accounts banned/disabled. I don't like having to use the program, since I had so much freedom with open source, but it does what I need plus a little more.

- Fixes download button not showing up.

Note: Just downloaded a couple of profiles without any issues. Make sure you're logged in and wait a couple of minutes between downloading profiles (not required, but wouldn't hurt to let Instagram know you're not scraping).

1. Open the directory where your browser saves the files by default.
2. Inside that directory, you'll have a directory named Instagram. Open it.
3. Find the directory named as the username of the profile you just downloaded. If you can't find the directory named Instagram in step 2, there was an issue downloading.
